Business Administrator Postdoctoral Fellowship Canadian Trends in Social Exclusion Recent events in Europe including the riots in Paris, the protests and arson that followed the death of Theo Van Gogh in the Netherlands and the public unrest following the publication of cartoons of Mohammed in Denmark are related to processes and experiences of exclusion. Exclusion exists when participation in economic, social, political, and cultural realms is limited or devalued. By focussing on exclusion, attention shifts to rights, redistribution, and questions about processes that influence individual opportunities to shape the nature and structure of society. A
focus on Canadian Trends in Social Exclusion will constitute a powerful
starting point for building substantial knowledge on the following
themes: Potential Project The proposed postdoctoral fellowship would explore the extent, nature and causes of the current exclusion of newcomers to Canada. The proposed research should consider the challenges that economic and political changes pose for social inclusion and exclusion of newcomers. The research should also take into account the new geography of immigrant settlement in Canada. Our approach is inherently multidisciplinary since the study of exclusion necessarily involves multiple and diverse disciplinary perspectives so we encourage proposals from sociology, political science, geography, history and other disciplines. To understand trends in social exclusion, we propose that the postdoctoral fellow explore:
· the
extent and nature of contemporary trends in social exclusion by
compiling media references, reports from government and nongovernmental
agencies, and scholarly articles concerning topics such as : · contemporary theoretical and empirical understanding of the economic exclusion of Canadian immigrants and its implications for social, cultural, and political inclusion, particularly for racialised minorities, women, and youth. In addition to
conducting his or her own research, the postdoctoral fellow will be
responsible for: Familiarity with, and ability to work with statistical data would be an asset. This postdoctoral fellowship is funded jointly by the Ontario Ministry of Research & Innovation and York University. Salary per annum will be $50,000 plus benefits, and duration will be two years. The successful applicant is expected to complete his/her Ph.D. no later than six months after beginning the fellowship. Applicant must spend 1% of her/his time mentoring undergraduates at York. Applicants should submit a letter describing their relevant research, experiences and interests, a curriculum vitae, pertinent reprints, and arrange to have three letters of reference addressed to Dr. Valerie Preston, Dr. Robert Latham, and Dr. Leah Vosko, and sent c/o Dr. Leah Vosko, York University, 4700 Keele Street, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M3J 1P3; phone: (416) 736-2100 x 33157 , fax: (416) 650-3876, E mail: lvosko@yorku.ca York University is an Affirmative Action Employer.

The Board of Governors of the Prairie Metropolis Centre invites applications for Editor of Journal of International Migration and Integration, to begin April, 2009 (an alternate starting date is negotiable). As Editor you will have a special opportunity to contribute to the fields of immigration, integration and diversity, across Canada and internationally. Applications will be considered from individuals well-versed in immigration/integration/diversity issues who are employed at a Canadian university. The Journal of International Migration and Integration (JIMI) is a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed, bilingual, scholarly journal that publishes original research papers, policy discussions and book reviews that enhance the understanding of immigration, settlement and integration and that contribute to policy development. The Journal consistently covers an array of subject areas including labor market integration; refugee status in various nations; adaptation strategies of immigrants in industrialized settings; racial and gender variations in migration; the role of social work in the integration of new citizens; and retention of ethnic and older national identities in new environments. These are issues of concern throughout the world. The journal looks at the social world with a fresh vision enhanced by the basic and applied social sciences. JIMI presents papers based on original research, critical policy debates and comparative analyses. It is Abstracted/Indexed in: America: History and Life CBCA (Micromedia Proquest), Historical Abstracts, International Political Science Abstracts, PAIS International, Sociological Abstracts, and Ulrich’s International Periodicals Directory. JIMI is currently published both online and in print. Springer, JIMI’s publisher, plans to convert to an online submission/review system, which will streamline much of the work that is currently done by the editor and the editorial assistant. Editor’s Responsibilities The Editor will receive a course release from the PMC to carry out the requirements of the position. The Editor will work closely with Mrs. Lenise Anderson, the Editorial Assistant. On the receipt of a manuscript, the Editor will determine whether it should be sent out for review. If the manuscript does not meet the mandate of the journal or if it is inappropriate for some other reason, it should not be sent for review. If a manuscript is deemed suitable for review, it is the editor’s responsibility to identify referees who could review the article. These names should be sent to Lenise Anderson, who will then contact the reviewers on the editor’s behalf. If additional names are required, it is the editor’s responsibility to provide them to ensure that there are at least two reviews for each article. Once the reviews are in, it is the editor’s responsibility to make a decision (accept as is, accept with revisions, revise and resubmit, reject) and to write the letter to the author. It is also the responsibility of the Editor to ensure that letter templates for other correspondence are kept up to date. The Editor is responsible for ensuring that the journal’s functions are carried out in a timely manner. Ideally, the Editor should be able to read French manuscripts, but arrangements can be made if this is not possible. Book reviews are handled by the Book Review Editor, who makes all decisions with regard to that component of the Journal. In addition to the editorial responsibilities listed
above, the editor is required to do the following: The Prairie Metropolis Centre will also consider applications from pairs of individuals who would like to co-edit JIMI. These individuals may be at the same or different institutions. Interested candidates should submit their CV to either Dr. Tracey Derwing at tracey.derwing@ualberta.ca or Dr. Linda Ogilvie at linda.ogilvie@ualberta.ca.STUDENT ANALYST
