Ingenium – Canada’s Museums of Science and Innovation invites applications for our Black and African Canadian Scientific Technological Innovations Fellowship in partnership with the Black Canadian Studies Association.
- Number of Fellowships available: Two
- Value: $5,000 per fellowship
- Duration: A maximum of four months (Ingenium expects a minimum of 150 hours to be completed during this period)
This fellowship was made possible by founding donor, Dr. Gervan Fearon and Dr. Kathy Moscou, with support from the Ingenium Foundation. This position is for a maximum of four months (May-August 2024) and welcomes part-time and full-time graduate students from Canadian universities.
Ingenium oversees three national museums which include the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum, the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, and the Canada Science and Technology Museum. Ingenium is responsible for Canada’s national scientific and technological collection which includes over two million archival items and more than 150,000 artifacts.
We are looking for fellows to design a research project related to the study of the historical and/or contemporary connections between Black and African Canadians and science and innovation. Research projects can engage with the socio-economic and cultural impacts of science and technology for Black and African Canadian individuals and communities as well as the contributions of Black and African Canadians to science and innovation.
Applicants are encouraged to think broadly and creatively about the fields of science and technology as they shape their research projects. The Fellowship provides an excellent opportunity to gain valuable heritage and curatorial work experience, and have unique access to collections that contribute to a student’s research interests.
