fellowship is awarded. The successful applicant will have a demonstrated
expertise in political philosophy/political theory, with a special
interest in issues of the accommodation of diversity in democratic
societies, show evidence of teaching potential, and be able to
participate constructively in departmental and collegial activities. The
Fellow will work under the supervision of Prof. Will Kymlicka. The
2009-10 fellowship will start on July 1, 2009. Applicants must have

Philosophy and Public Policy. The Fellow would be affiliated with these
programs, and would participate in their activities. Each full
