A variety of programs are open to established and junior scholars wishing to do research and consultation in the U.S. on a “broad range of contemporary issues relevant to Canada, the United States and the relationship between the two countries.” An information session about the Fulbright programs is usually held at Carleton in mid-October. The Senior Specialist Program also offers an opportunity for departments to invite leading U.S. scholars to spend two to six weeks at Carleton working on collaborative projects.
The Fulbright Visiting Research Chairs enable promising and prominent American scholars, as well as experienced professionals to conduct research, develop collaborations, guest lecture and/or teach at select Canadian universities and research centres, normally for one semester, though this may be extended to a full academic year. In addition, successful candidates will have the opportunity to deliver public lectures, give seminar presentations, participate in conferences and otherwise contribute to ongoing research activities at their host institution. Applicants must have received a Ph.D. or equivalent professional/terminal degree by December 31, 2012 or have equivalent professional experience.
