SICI (Shastri Indo-Canadian Institute) Doctoral Research Fellowships 2011-12 in Canada

The Foreign Affairs Canada, Government of Canada, through Shastri Indo-Canadian Institute, invites applications from Indian scholars for Doctoral Research Fellowships.

 

These awards are intended for scholars who wish to work up to six months on the applicants’ doctoral dissertation in Canada. Preference will be given to applicants whose dissertations focus on topics 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. Proposals in Comparative studies with substantial Canadian content (33% or more) and with Aspects of Canada’s bilateral relations with participating countries are also encouraged.

Eligibility for Doctoral Research Fellowship

Applicants must be enrolled as doctoral candidates in a recognized institution of high education or equivalent degree-granting organization and must expect to have completed non-thesis requirements of the Ph.D. by the time the tenure of the award commences.

Guidelines: Applicants in all categories must be citizens or permanent residents of India and proficient in either English or French. Repeat applications for faculty awards will not be considered until the objectives of the earlier award have been demonstrably achieved. Please note that 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: i) Excursion rate return air ticket between India and Canada by the most direct route, and ii) a suitable living and accommodation allowance.
