Postdoc, MA, Ph.D. Postgrad Student Funding Opportunities

The University of Alberta is currently accepting applications for 
competitive graduate awards at the Masters, Doctorate and 
Postdoctorate levels of research.

Among Canada’s most prestigious research awards, Izaak Walton Killam

Memorial Postdoctoral Fellowships are open to qualified candidates, 
both domestic and international, who do not currently hold a postdoc 
or faculty position. Applicants are encouraged to write directly to 
the head of a relevant department, and applications are accepted from 
December through January, with some awards decisions made as early as 
mid January. Killam Postdocs have significant value and are tenable 
for 2 years.

The University of Alberta is a major centre of research and features a

collegial cultural studies scene, as well as one of the best 
libraries, archives and data repositories (including GIS) in Canada. I

am particularly interested in working with students or postdoctoral 
researchers on any aspect of social space, urban culture or design. 
Because we have no geography department, I work mostly in the 
Departments of Sociology and Art and Design but am also involved in 
the City Region Studies Centre. The Department of Sociology hosts 
interdisciplinary graduate students, and I am also involved in 
supervision in Education, and the Department of Modern Languages and 
Cultural Studies.

Areas of current interest at the University of Alberta’s Intermedia 
Research Studio align with those of the Space and Culture Reading 
Group and this blog, but also include areas being written up 
(including fieldwork on syncretism, race and communication in Salvador

Bahia Brazil) and upcoming areas at many scales from Arctic 
sovereignty and the Northwest Passage, to airport design, to the 
social aspects of nanotechnology and the material culture of Canada’s

National Institute for Nanotechnology.

International experts currently on sabbatical in 2007-08 include Prof.

Andre Lemos (Facom, UFBA) and Prof. Vince Miller (Canterbury).

Please circulate this announcement widely. You can contact individual 
departments for more detail and if you are interested in working with 
me, please visit my homepage and contact me directly (rshields at 
ualberta dot ca).
