Simon & Ethel Flegg Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (Silver), McGill University
The Department of Jewish Studies at McGill University invites applications for a one-year postdoctoral fellowship in Montreal beginning September 1, 2027. The fellowship is designed for scholars working in the pre-modern period and whose project complements existing strengths in the department. The successful fellow will contribute to the intellectual life of Jewish Studies at McGill through research, engagement with faculty and students, a public lecture, and potentially one undergraduate course as a course lecturer.
This opportunity is especially relevant for candidates in Jewish Studies, History, and Religious Studies, with a strong emphasis on original research, teaching potential, and community building. Applicants should have recently completed a PhD (within 5 years) and must have the doctorate in hand by July 1, 2027. McGill notes that strong emerging research records and teaching experience will be especially valued. The selected fellow must take up local residence in Montreal during the fellowship year.
Funding includes an annual stipend of $58,000 CAD plus health benefits, with the possibility of additional research and travel support. The posting also lists an annual salary figure of $57,557.25. The application deadline is December 8, 2026, and applications must be submitted through McGill's Workday portal as a single PDF containing the statement of interest, CV, doctoral diploma or defense-date letter, teaching statement with two proposed courses, writing sample, and contact information for two referees. Reference letters are requested only for shortlisted candidates.
