/The Visiting Fellows Program/

Visiting Fellowships are open to scholars with a PhD. degree pursuing a 
research project that engages contemporary science from ethical, 
epistemological, or historical perspectives. Visiting Fellows will have 
no formal duties, but they will be expected to participate actively in 
the intellectual community of the Rotman Institute. Visiting Fellows 
will be asked to give a talk describing their research project, and they 
are encouraged to participate in the many reading groups, seminars, 
talks, and other ongoing projects at the Rotman Institute. They are 
required to reside in London, Ontario during the Fellowship and to make 
regular use of their office at the Rotman Institute.

Visiting Fellows will be provided with an office, computer, full library 
access, and minimal office support. They will be paid a supplementary 
stipend of $1,000 - 1,300 per month. They can participate in the 
activities of the Department of Philosophy including colloquia and 
graduate seminars (with instructor permission). The University of 
Western Ontario’s Department of Philosophy is one of the most 
distinguished departments in Canada.
