UNIL MASTER'S GRANTS

To facilitate access to Master’s degrees by students with qualifications from foreign universities, the University of Lausanne provides around ten Master’s grants which are awarded on a competitive basis.

Programmes concerned
Candidates must choose a Master's programme from among those offered by the UNIL, except:

Master of Medicine
Master of Arts in Sciences and Practices of Education
Master of Law from the Universities of Zurich and Lausanne
Master of Law in Criminal Sciences, judiciary mention
Master of Science in Traceology and Crime Analysis
All the MAS (3rd cycle programmes)
Caution: For the Master of Law, students can apply for the scholarship Master for two of the seven references proposed, namely: "International and Comparative Law" and "legal theory."

The grant may not be used for any complementary studies required to enroll on the Master’s degree (upgrade year) and may not be used for Executive Master in Business Administration (EMBA) or Masters of Advanced studies (MAS).

Amount and duration of the grant
The amount of the grant is CHF 1,600.- per month from 15 September to 15 July, for a duration not exceeding the regulation minimum period of the programme (according to the programme, one-and-a-half years or two years subject to deduction for paid placements or exempt semesters, if any). Abandonment of the programme results in suspension of the grant.

Required conditions
The candidate must be the holder of a degree from a foreign university.
The qualification held by the candidate must be deemed equivalent to the UNIL Bachelor’s degree.
Selection procedure
Candidates must complete the "UNIL Master’s Grant" form and submit their application within the deadline to:

Social Affairs and Student Mobility Service (SASME)
University of Lausanne
Unicentre
CH-1015 Lausanne

Uncomplete applications are not taken into consideration and are returned to the sender. If the application is complete, it will be examined by the Admissions Service to determine whether the candidate can be admitted. In the event of a positive decision, the application is forwarded by the SASME to the UNIL Faculty responsible for the Master’s on which the candidate wishes to be enrolled.
The Faculty selects applications and notifies the SASME of its opinion based on the candidate’s qualities, motivation and suitability for the Master’s programme.
The SASME forwards shortlisted applications to the selection committee which will award grants to students meeting all criteria according to the available budget.

Decisions are not open to appeal.

The SASME will inform the candidates in writing of the UNIL's decision at the end of March.

Selection criteria
The grants are intended more particularly for students who distinguished themselves in their university studies and who have difficulty meeting their financial needs for the duration of the Master’s. It is however necessary that the candidates have sufficient financial means to live on themselves during the complementary studies that may be required prior to enroll on the Master’s degree.

Application deadline for autumn semester 2017 and spring semester 2018
Applications must be submitted to the Social Affairs and Student Mobility Service (SASME) before 15 December 2016.

POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS / ПОСТДОК

MAHINDRA HUMANITIES CENTER POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS, 2017-18

Description
The Mahindra Humanities Center invites applications for one-year postdoctoral fellowships in connection with the Center’s Andrew W. Mellon Foundation seminar on the topic of migration and the humanities.

The current refugee crisis in Europe and the Middle East has made it clear that migration plays as critical a role in the moral imagination of the humanities as it does in shaping the activist vision of humanitarianism and human rights. The conceptual framework of the humanities is particularly relevant to interpreting and analyzing the cultural and political lifeworlds of the migrant experience. Too often, the humanities are summoned merely as witnesses to the spectacle of the significant currents and crises of contemporary life. Literature and the arts are viewed as iconic presences whose primary aesthetic and moral values lie in their illustrative powers of empathy and evocation. Yet the intellectual formation of the humanities—their very conception of the nature of meaning, knowledge, and morals—is deeply resonant with the displacement of values and the revision of norms that shape the transitional and translational narratives of migrant lives.

Built around pedagogies of representation and interpretation—textual, visual, digital, political, ethical, ecological, etc.—the humanities engage with the “deep” history of shifting relations between cultural expression, historical transition, and political transformation. They play a mediating role in this three-way process. Humanistic disciplines articulate the changing, contingent relationships between cultural meaning and social value as they shape “agents”—individual, collective, institutional—who participate in the creation of public opinion and the definition of public interest. Although they are not activist in a traditional sense, the humanities are actively involved in studying the impact of the displacement of cultural values and trajectories of knowledge-systems as they migrate from one historical context to another, moving across discursive and geographic territories, and establishing hybrid disciplinary borders.

We welcome applications from scholars in all fields whose work innovatively engages with migration and the humanities. Each year of the seminar will explore a different subtheme connected to this broader topic. The subtheme for 2017-18 will be posted in the near future.

Terms and Conditions
In addition to pursuing their own research projects, fellows will be core participants in the bi-weekly seminar meetings. Other participants will include faculty and graduate students from Harvard and other universities in the region, and occasional visiting speakers.

Fellows will be joined at the Center by postdoctoral fellows from Germany, who will be coming as part of a collaboration between the Mahindra Humanities Center and the Volkswagen Foundation. Fellows are expected to be in residence at Harvard for the term of the fellowship.

Fellows will receive stipends of $65,000, individual medical insurance, moving assistance of $1,500, and additional research support of $2,500.

Eligibility and Deadline Information
Applicants for 2017-18 fellowships must have received a doctorate or terminal degree in or after May 2014. Applicants without a doctorate or terminal degree must demonstrate that they will receive a doctorate or terminal degree in a related discipline in or before August 2017. Applications must be completed by December 1, 2016.

Application Instructions
Please apply using our online application, which will be posted in the near future.

In addition to biographical and professional information, applicants are asked to submit:

1. A curriculum vitae.

2. A detailed statement of the research project (1,000-3,000 words) that provides a detailed description of what the applicant proposes to do during the fellowship year.

3. One chapter- or article-length writing sample (no longer than 40 pages).

4. Names and contact information of three referees, who will be asked by a system-generated email to upload a letter of recommendation once the candidate’s application has been submitted. Three letters of recommendation are required, and the application is considered complete only when three letters have been received. Recommendations may be those included in the applicant’s placement dossier, but they must specifically address the proposed research project.

Location:      Ontario, Canada
Position:      Post-Doctoral Fellow

Indelible Violence: Shame, Reconciliation, and the Work of Apology

Performances of reconciliation and apology attempt to erase violence that is arguably indelible.

How might the work of truth and reconciliation commissions be compared to other ways of shifting relations from violence and violation to co-existence? How does the work of apology stabilize social identities, conditions, and relations and how do indelible traces of violence work for and against those conditions, identities and relations?

Fellowships begin 1 July 2017.

Eligibility: Ph.D. completed between 1 July 2014 and 1 May 2017.
