The Policy Research Division (POR) of Foreign Affairs and International
Trade Canada is pleased to announce the 2010-2011 Cadieux-Léger Fellowship.

The Cadieux-Léger Fellowship provides direct experience in a policy planning
environment to researchers concerned with the diverse challenges facing
Canadian foreign policy. The Cadieux-Léger Fellow is based in the Policy
Research Division at DFAIT. While at DFAIT, the Fellow is expected to
advance a research project on a topic relevant to Canadian foreign policy
and may also contribute to the work of the Department in the area of his or
her expertise. This may include writing papers, offering presentations and
participating in the policy development process.

Award
The Cadieux-Léger Fellowship lasts nine months and the Fellow will receive a
total sum not greater than $48,000.

Eligibility
The ideal candidate will:
* be available from September 2010 to June 2011;
* be working towards a PhD on a topic of relevance to Canada's foreign
policy;
* be currently recognized as having full-time student status by the
academic institution in which they are presently enrolled. Part-time
students working on their thesis or recognized by the academic institution
in which they are presently enrolled as having a disability will also be
considered;
* be required to do a supervised research work term; and
* be enrolled in an academic program that includes supervised laboratory
or field research.

Shortlisted candidates will be required to obtain a Secret-level security
clearance in order to finalize the selection procedure.
