Killam Postdoctoral Research Fellowship
Killam Postdoctoral Research Fellowship
The Killam Scholarship and Prize Programmes were established in memory of Izaak Walton Killam through the Will of his wife, Dorothy Johnston Killam, and through gifts made during her lifetime. Their primary purpose is to support advanced education and research at five Canadian universities and the Canada Council for the Arts. The UBC Killam Postdoctoral Research Fellowships are provided annually from the Izaak Walton Killam Memorial Fund for Advanced Studies and are available for most fields of research. The fellowships are awarded for a maximum of two years, subject to review at the end of the first year. The number of awards presently varies between three and five per year. It was Mrs. Killam's desire that those selected to receive fellowships: "Be likely to contribute to the advancement of learning or to win distinction in a profession. A Killam scholar should not be a one-sided person... Special distinction of intellect should be founded upon sound character." Please note that the applicant's eligibility criteria have been updated for the 2013-14 competition. Annual Value: Annual stipend of $50,000 plus a travel and research allowance of $4,000 over two years Award Status: Active Deadline: Mid-October to early November - check with the UBC department or unit of interest regarding internal deadline Eligibility Applicant In keeping with the original spirit of the Killam Endowments, the goal of the fellowship is to bring outstanding junior researchers to the University of British Columbia. As such, applicants: must have obtained a PhD no more than 24 months prior to the anticipated fellowship start date must not have pursued PhD-level studies at any campus of the University of British Columbia must not currently hold faculty positions at other universities or colleges must be able to contribute fresh intellectual insights to UBC should have shown outstanding ability in research, in that they would be likely to contribute to the advancement of learning or to win distinction in their profession should not be one-sided, and have a sound character that complements their intellect may be citizens of any country; though there are no restrictions regarding nationality of applicants, successful candidates must be able to meet all Canadian immigration requirements Preference will be given to applicants who have not already held a postdoctoral award or fellowship. Fellowships are tenable only at UBC, and fellows are expected to make the UBC campus their base while holding the fellowship, apart from necessary research trips (no more than three months in each year of the fellowship). Fellowships starting in the 2013-14 cycle may not begin earlier than May 1, 2013 and no later than January 2, 2014. Most fellowships commence between May and October. Prospective applicants who do not meet the requirements above may refer to the Killam Trusts for opportunities at the other Killam institutions or to the Post Doctoral Fellows Office and Office of the Vice-President, Research and International for other opportunities at UBC. Proposed UBC Supervisor The proposed supervisor must be a continuing faculty member with a tenure-track appointment at UBC. Proposed supervisors must make a commitment to supervise the applicant's research for the entire 24 months of the fellowship. Citizenship: Canadian Permanent Resident International Degree Level: Doctoral Applicant Status: Incoming Students Evaluation Criteria Applications are judged on the basis of the candidate's demonstrated excellence in scholarly work and independent research and their potential for making substantial contributions to their field of endeavour. The adjudication committee will also consider the following: the qualities of the research project (e.g., clarity, feasibility, suitability of location, proposed supervisor, and facilities) the strength of the letters of reference the fit of the proposed research to the host department or unit Preference will be given to applicants with no previous postdoctoral award. Fellowships will be distributed as evenly as possible among the various disciplines, though the primary criteria are academic excellence and research ability. The search is for candidates whose work is beyond "excellent" and whose research is convincingly innovative and ground-breaking. It is crucial to assert distinctiveness and to demonstrate to the committee how the candidate's work is exceptional. In this very prestigious competition, the Faculty of Graduate Studies receives over 40 nominations each year (pre-screened by individual departments and units from a much larger number of applications). Procedures Application Procedures: An applicant completes an application form and submits all required documents to the UBC department or unit under whose supervision the applicant plans to complete their research. Each UBC department or unit sets its own deadline for receipt of applications. The Guidelines for Applicants and the application form will be available online in mid-August 2012. Nomination Procedures: Each UBC department convenes a committee to review and rank all the Killam Postdoctoral Research Fellowship application packages received. Each department may nominate ONE applicant to the Faculty of Graduate Studies for consideration in the university-wide competition. The Faculty of Graduate Studies must receive completed nomination packages, including all supporting documents, by 4:00 PM on Friday, November 23, 2012. http://www.grad.ubc.ca/awards/killam...rch-fellowship Дедлайн 23 ноября 2012 |

Postgraduate Stipend Program at European School of Visual Arts, France
Document and contemporary art
Launched in October 2010 at the initiative of the European School of Visual Art, the post-graduate program Document and Contemporary Art, in partnership with the École nationale supérieure d’art de Bourges, is open to art or film students, young curators or art critics seeking to prolong their studies through a year of experimental inquiry at the crossroads of the document and contemporary art, irrespective of media or technique. The aim of the post-graduate program is to foster theoretical and practical reflection on the function of the document and the archive in the field of art and the social world. The program’s first two years focused on the performative dimension of the document. What is the document’s function ? How can it be activated ? What, in turn, can it activate ? Can one speak of “performative documents” ? Over the course of its third year, the research program will focus more particularly on translation, in the broadest sense of the term, as an agent of a document’s activation and transformation. If it is not to remain inert, a document has to be activated, inscribed in a new context of appearance – that is, translated in some expanded sense, not merely from one language to another but between one medium and another. The program’s activities are concentrated into monthly one-week sessions. These sessions take the form of a seminar, structured around the presentations of invited artists, theorists or curators. 2012-13 will be organized nomadically, favoring mobility. Subject to final confirmation, program sessions will be held in Poitiers, Madrid, Bourges, Angoulême, Lausanne, Los Angeles and Beirut. An annual journal, Cahiers du post-diplôme, bears witness to the program’s activities by bringing together the participating artists’ work and the contributions of the invited artists. An exhibition focusing on performative documents is scheduled at La Box gallery (Bourges) in early 2013 in the framework of an open invitation to the post-graduate program. A partnership with CalArts (California Institute of the Arts, Valencia), more specifically with the Film and Critical Studies departments, will be continued this year in the form of a joint seminar. The program’s recruitment is international. English is the principal working language. The post-graduate program provides a theoretical and practical platform in the perspective of defining and proposing original modes of research in art. As debates, practices and partnerships develop over the intermediate term, the program is poised to evolve toward a practice-based PhD in artistic research. Application Applicants should hold a national or international level-1 degree or equivalent (high-school certificate + 5 years of post-secondary study). Following a preliminary selection on the basis of the candidate’s artistic dossier, letter of application and curriculum vitae, applicants will be invited to an interview by a panel. The artistic dossier should include documentation of work produced by the applicant (texts, photographs, films, catalogues, articles). For film or sound works, applicants should select excerpts of 12 minutes maximum. The letter of application (2 pages maximum) should present the candidate’s itinerary, past experiences and particular interest in the post-graduate program. The post-graduates will have access to the technical facilities of the School and will receive a stipend of 4000 euros. The group will be made up of four young practitioners. The artistic dossier and a letter of application should be sent by 5 September 2012. Interviews with the selection committee will be held on 17 September 2012. POST-GRADUATE PROGRAM 2012-2013 Program director Érik Bullot, filmmaker, professor at the École nationale supérieure d'art de Bourges. Academic advisors Stephen Wright, critic, theorist, professor at the European School of Visual Art. Joan Ayrton, artist, professor at the European School of Visual Art. External advisors 2012-2013 (pending confirmation) Rebecca Baron, artist, filmmaker, instructor of experimental and documentary film at CalArts (California Institute of the Arts, Valencia), School of Film/Video ; François Bovier, film critic and historian ; Arne De Boever, theorist, professor at CalArts, School of Critical Studies, director of the MA Æsthetics and Politics ; Yann De Roeck, graphic designer ; Joana Hajithomas et Khalil Joreige, artists, filmmakers ; Aliocha Imhoff and Kantuta Quirós, curators, critics ; Ana Longoni, art historian ; Morad Montazami, critic, art historian ; Nora Martirosyan, filmmaker ; The Otolith Group, artists, filmmakers ; Suely Rolnik, art critic, psychotherapist ; Trinh T. Minh-ha, theorist, filmmaker ; Akram Zaatari, filmmaker.
