Applicants must have received the Ph.D. at some time later than September 1, 1999. The Calgary Institute for the Humanities supports work in the traditional humanities disciplines such as languages and literatures, philosophy, and history, as well as in the philosophical and historical aspects of the social sciences, sciences, arts, and professional studies. These awards are primarily intended for scholars on sabbatical or release-time leaves to provide the opportunity for a research visit to the Institute. Applications are invited from scholars of established reputation, and also from younger scholars who have completed their doctorate at least two years before the Fellowship would begin. The fellowship is tenable for four months to one year.
Fellows receive library privileges, an office at the institute, and secretarial support.
