Fulbright Awards for Graduate Study and Research in Canada
Canada-U.S. Fulbright Student Awards offer American students the opportunity to conduct graduate research or pursue graduate studies at any one of Canada’s outstanding universities or research centres for one academic year.
A dynamic political, social and cultural milieu combined with a vibrant and welcoming research community promises American students an invaluable Fulbright experience in Canada.
Canada offers a tremendous range of choices, with world-class universities and advanced research networks located both in urban centres and small towns across the country.
In addition to a stimulating research setting, Canada boasts a beautiful natural environment coupled with cities, large and small, noted for their safety, cultural activities, and attractive lifestyle.
Canada is a bilingual country and, as such, students may choose to conduct research or study in a primarily Francophone, Anglophone, or bilingual milieu. In addition to Canada’s First Nations communities and two founding groups, almost all ethnic groups are represented in Canada.
Traditional Fulbrught Scholar Awards
Traditional Fulbright Scholar Awards offer emerging and established American scholars, postdoctoral researchers, and experienced professionals the opportunity to conduct research and/or teach for one semester or a full academic year at a university or research centre in Canada. While the competition is field open, we especially welcome projects in contemporary public policy.

Harvard University
Edmond J. Safra Foundation Center for Ethics
Faculty Fellowships in Ethics
The Center invites applications for Faculty Fellowships in Ethics for the academic year 2009-2010
(September through June)
The Center encourages teaching and research about ethical issues in the professions and public life. Its residential faculty fellowships support outstanding teachers and scholars who wish to develop their ability to address questions of moral choice in areas such as architecture, business, education, government, law, medicine, public health and public policy.
Fellows participate in the Center’s weekly seminar which discusses problems of teaching and research in ethics. They enjoy access to a wide range of activities in all of the professional schools at Harvard, as well as the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. A significant part of their time is devoted to conducting their own research in ethics.
Applicants are judged on the quality of their achievements in their field of specialization and their ability to benefit from work in the Center; the contributions they are likely to make in the future in higher education through teaching and writing about ethical issues; and the probable significance of their proposed research and its relevance to the purposes of the Center. Applicants should hold a doctorate in philosophy, political theory, theology, or related disciplines; or a graduate degree in one of the professions. Preference will be given to applicants at an early stage of their careers, normally no more than ten years beyond their first academic appointment. The fellowships are open to all regardless of citizenship.
For the fellowship period, fellows normally receive stipends of up to one half their academic year salaries, not exceeding a maximum stipend amount set each fall. Overseas fellows and those without regular academic appointments are eligible for stipends depending on circumstances. Each fellow is expected to devote full-time to the activities of the Center during the period of the fellowship, September 1 through June 30.
The deadline date for receipt of applications for the academic year 2009-2010 is October 31, 2008.
