NCSG Colleagues, Here is an opportunity for someone who has just
finished their PhD work, or is about to finish, to pursue
post-doctoral studies in global governance (w/r to the Internet
ecosystem??)<br>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center" align="center"><b><span

style="font-size:14.0pt" lang="EN-US">2015-17 Post-Doctoral
Fellowships in Global Governance (Deadline: February 23, 2015)<br>
</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center" align="center"><b><span
style="font-size:14.0pt;color:gray" lang="EN-US">Institute for
the Study of International Development, McGill University</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> We are
pleased to announce that
</span>two Postdoctoral Fellowships in Global Governance will be
awarded for a two-year period starting in September 2015. Each
Fellowship includes a yearly stipend of $55,000 CAD and a yearly
research allowance of $10,000 CAD.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Postdoctoral Fellows in
Global Governance will be selected based on the demonstrated ways
that their proposed research can contribute to developing better
policies for global governance, as well as the fit between their
proposed research and academic resources at McGill. Global
governance is considered to include the formal and informal rules
and practices designed to promote sustainable, inclusive
development and democratic governance. While such rules and
practices would typically be applicable at the supranational and
transnational levels, they also include local or national examples
that demonstrate the potential for wider application.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center" align="center"><b>ELIGIBILITY</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Fellowships are open to
all nationalities and disciplines in the social sciences and
humanities.<i> Scholars who received their PhD after August 31,
2012 or who will have completed all PhD degree requirements by
July 1, 2015 are eligible to apply. </i>Applicants who do not
have the PhD in hand at the time of application must include a
letter from their Department Chair specifying the date of the
dissertation defense. Successful applicants who do not complete
all requirements for their PhD by July 1, 2015, will have their
offer of award withdrawn.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> A world-renowned university
located in the cosmopolitan metropolis of Montreal, Canada, McGill
University has earned an international reputation for scholarly
achievement and scientific discovery. Founded in 1821, McGill has

programs from the undergraduate to the doctoral level. McGill

and top students from more than 150 countries, creating one of the
most dynamic and diverse educational environments in North
America.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> The Institute for the Study of
International Development was founded in 2008, consolidating
McGill’s strengths in research and teaching of development issues.
Responsible for the Faculty of Art’s second largest undergraduate
degree program, ISID also delivers graduate and executive
education programs. Its international advisory board includes
members with government, civil society and business backgrounds.
