Description: Media at McGill is a hub of interdisciplinary research, 
scholarship and public outreach on issues in media, technology and

Studies at McGill University in Montreal, Canada.

Media at McGill offers Postdoctoral Fellowships to promising scholars 
engaging in media-related research, as defined in Media at McGill’s mission 
statement.

Fellows are provided with a workspace, and are expected to take an 
active role in the research activities and academic life of Media at McGill 
(participation in conferences, seminars, etc.). They may also have the 
possibility of teaching a course within the Department of Art History 
and Communication Studies at McGill.

Eligibility: The Media at McGill Postdoctoral Fellowship is open to both 
national and international scholars who completed their doctoral degrees 
in a university other than McGill no earlier than June 1, 2009. Fluency 
in English is essential; working knowledge of French is an asset.

Value and Duration: The stipend for the Media at McGill Postdoctoral 
Fellowship is $42,000 CAD for 12 months, beginning in the first week of 
September.

Application Process: For 2013-14, Media at McGill will be offering one 
Postdoctoral Fellowship. In a cover letter, applicants must stipulate 
how their research is related to Media at McGill’s mission statement and to 
Media at McGill’s 2013-14 theme: Participatory Media. Applicants should 
also identify a potential faculty supervisor who is a member of 
Media at McGill and whose research is closely tied to that of the
