The Foreign Affairs Canada, Government of Canada, through Shastri Indo-Canadian Institute, invites applications from Indian scholars for the following fellowship:
(A) Understanding Canada: Faculty Research Fellowship 2012-2013
These awards are intended for scholars who wish to work up to five weeks projects identified by them in Canada. The projects should lead to the publication of scholarly articles in India in the case of research awards, and the development of courses on Canada in Indian Universities in the case of enrichment awards. Preference will be given to projects that have policy relevance for Canada and Canada’s foreign policy. Topics that are highly relevant to Canada’s foreign policy include Democracy & Rule of Law, Economic Development, Environment, Managing Diversity, North American Partnership, Peace and Security, Education and Bilateral ties.
Priority may be given to projects that relate to contemporary situations and issues which illuminate options for future developments, or which focus on Canada’s bilateral relations with the participating countries. For those subjects such as geography, which have a physical element, priority will be given to applications which demonstrate the humanities and social sciences aspect.
(Purely scientific subjects such as physics, chemistry, medicine, engineering, etc. which would not lead to a better knowledge and understanding of Canada per se are not eligible, nor are proposals which focus exclusively on technological or methodological issues).
Value:
Excursion rate return air ticket between India and Canada by the most direct route, and ii) a suitable living and accommodation allowance.Awards cover the cost of trip to Canada for up to four weeks (as per the policy laid down).
Duration:
Maximum of 5 weeks
Eligibility:
The applicants should:
be a Citizen and permanent resident of India
be proficient in either English or French
be full-time members of the academic staff of a recognized institution of higher education or an equivalent degree-granting organization in India
be scholars at research and policy institutes in India or professors emeritus
hold a degree equivalent to postgraduate qualification
Applications from others without these formal qualifications shall be considered only if successful research and teaching experience can be demonstrated. The applicants who are able to provide evidence of their interest in or involvement with Canada prior to the application will be preferred. This may be demonstrated by courses already given, research undertaken, extra-mural activities, active membership in relevant organizations, etc.
Recipients of an award under this program are not eligible to apply in consecutive competitions. There will normally also be a period of 3 years between awards, unless the second course proposal is on a different topic and the course from the first award is still being taught. For example, a 2004-05 recipient cannot apply in the 2005-06 competition, but can apply in the 2006-07 competition if the new course proposal is on a different topic and the course derived from the first award is still being taught; to upgrade and update the course derived from the 2004-05 award, one will only be eligible to apply in the 2007-08 competition.
