Hannah Visiting Professorship

Closing Date: November 30, 2001

Associated Medical Services, Inc. (AMS) of Canada invites applications for its HANNAH VISITING PROFESSORSHIP. The deadline is November 30, 2001. This Award provides funds for an established scholar in the history of medicine to visit a recognized centre in Canada to complement the host institution's activities in the field. Any university in Canada is eligible to hold a Hannah Visiting Professorship, but priority will be given to those institutions which have a recognized history of medicine presence and support facilities (e.g. courses, cognate faculty, library holdings, and so on). Applicants may be on faculty at any university in or outside of Canada.

Funding is available on a salary replacement basis for a period of no fewer than six consecutive months and no more than one uninterrupted year. Up to a maximum of CDN$60,000 (including all applicable benefits) will be pro-rated in accordance with the confirmed period of the visit. A one-time travel award of CDN$1,000 and a one-time research grant of CDN$1,500 will also be made available. These awards may also be augmented by funds from other agencies or institutions if available. One Visiting Professorship is awarded annually.
