Deadline for Fellowships on Deconstructing the Hegemony of Men and Masculinities

Linköping and Örebro Universities, Sweden, are the base for the “Centre of Gender Excellence - Gendering Excellence (GEXcel): Towards a European Centre of Excellence in Transnational and Transdisciplinary Studies of Changing Gender Relations, Intersectionalities and Embodiment”. With support from the Swedish Research Council, GEXcel is carrying out new research and seeks to become the foundation for a more permanent Sweden-based European Collegium for Advanced Transnational and Transdisciplinary Gender Studies.
Positions for doctoral and postdoctoral researchers to participate in thematic research on Deconstructing the Hegemony of Men and Masculinities are now open for competition. Postdoctoral researchers may or may not have graduated recently.
Proposals are invited from postdoctoral scholars (priority given to applicants from Europe, including Sweden) for at least two fellowships of up to 6 months’ duration (from September 2008, including 12th Nov-26th November; or in Spring 2008, including 15th-29th April 2009).
Applications for periods less than 6 months are also welcome. Fellowships include salary (with a deduction for existing salary), housing stipend and travel to Sweden.
