About this position
The Department of Jewish Studies at McGill University in Montreal is inviting applications for the Simon and Ethel Flegg Postdoctoral Research Fellowship. This one-year postdoctoral appointment is designed for a scholar working in the pre-modern period whose research complements the department’s existing strengths.
The fellowship is centered on an original research agenda in Jewish Studies, with the successful candidate expected to play an active role in the intellectual life of the department. The Flegg fellow will contribute to community-building among faculty and students and will also present a public lecture during the fellowship year.
The postdoctoral researcher may have the opportunity to teach one undergraduate course as a course lecturer in their area of specialization. The role is therefore shaped by both research and teaching, and the department indicates particular interest in candidates with a strong emerging research record and a demonstrated commitment to teaching.
The appointment is based in the Leacock Building at McGill University and requires local residence in Montreal during the academic year. The post is positioned within a research-intensive university environment and within the Department of Jewish Studies, where the fellow will engage with faculty and students while pursuing their own scholarship.
Funding details
Annual stipend of $58,000 CAD plus health benefits, with additional research and travel support available.
