[Sam Lanfranco]

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??)

*****2015-17 Post-Doctoral Fellowships in Global Governance (Deadline: 
February 23, 2015)
*

*Institute for the Study of International Development, McGill University*

                       We are pleased to announce that 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.

                       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.

*ELIGIBILITY*

                       Fellowships are open to all nationalities and 
disciplines in the social sciences and humanities./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. /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award withdrawn.
