We welcome inquiries from potential applicants to competitive postdoctoral fellowships that they would hold in residence here, advised by members of the RGCS faculty. Inquiries should be underway by no later than the beginning of September of the previous academic year for SSHRC and FRQSC fellowships, by March of the previous academic year for Banting fellowships. At this time RGCS no longer has postdoctoral fellowships of its own to offer.
We provide postdocs with shared office space in the RGCS space in Ferrier, and membership in the biweekly RGCS faculty and postdocs works in progress workshop. Many RGCS postdocs are also offered membership in the Groupe de Recherche Interuniversitaire en Philosophie Politique.
RGCS will welcome two new postdocs for 2023-24:
Xavier Boileau (Ph.D. Université de Montréal, Philosophy) FRQSC postdoc, supervised by Yann Allard Tremblay
William Tilleczek (Ph.D. Harvard, Government), SSHRC postdoc, supervised by Will Roberts
