Projet
DAiSI est un réseau interdisciplinaire d'institutions de recherche et d'organisations non gouvernementales dans le domaine de l'éthique et de l'intégrité du sport. Il produira une cohorte de doctorants (DC) capables de comprendre, de développer et de critiquer les défis éthico-légaux complexes dans les contextes sportifs du monde entier. Le réseau de formation doctorale DAiSI (DTN) formera une nouvelle génération d'experts et d'officiels sportifs dotés des compétences théoriques et méthodologiques nécessaires pour identifier, prévenir et gérer les menaces actuelles et futures à l'intégrité du sport au sein des instances dirigeantes du sport et des instances gouvernementales liées au sport. . 
Chacun des 17 projets de recherche est une combinaison interdisciplinaire de dimensions éthiques, juridiques et sociales. Des doctorats conjoints seront décernés aux candidats retenus par deux des partenaires du consortium. De plus, chaque projet se caractérise par une co-tutelle reflétant cette philosophie et est soutenu par une ou plusieurs institutions sportives ou liées au sport prestigieuses telles que l'Athletics Integrity Unit ; Unité d'intégrité du biathlon, Fédération des associations internationales de football, Comité international olympique, Union des associations européennes de football, Office des Nations Unies contre la drogue et le crime et Agence mondiale antidopage.
Dans le cadre du DAiSI, les objectifs de cette thèse spécifique sont triples : 
(1) identifier les schémas et les acteurs des matchs truqués et d’autres formes de corruption dans le sport, en mettant particulièrement l’accent sur le crime organisé ; 
(2) analyser spécifiquement les modèles et les acteurs des matchs truqués et d'autres formes de corruption dans le sport dans deux pays européens sélectionnés, sur la base de procédures pénales et d'entretiens avec la police et les procureurs ; 
(3) évaluer les processus, les résultats et les défis des politiques gouvernementales visant à contrôler les matchs truqués dans un certain nombre de pays (par le biais d'entretiens avec des experts). 
Profil
  • Vous mènerez des recherches (principalement la collecte et l'analyse de données qualitatives en plus d'une revue de la littérature) dans le domaine de recherche décrit. Vous serez impliqué dans la conception, la mise en place et l'exécution de la recherche et vous rendrez compte des résultats dans des publications scientifiques. Cette recherche vise à conduire à un doctorat (PhD). 
  • Vous travaillerez avec d’autres doctorants et collègues au sein de l’équipe et du réseau de recherche. 
  • Vous superviserez des étudiants de maîtrise qui rédigent leur mémoire de maîtrise. 
  • Vous contribuerez aux activités collectives du groupe de recherche (telles que les services pédagogiques, les rencontres, les propositions de recherche, le soutien d'autres chercheurs, etc.).

Unique among postdoctoral fellowships, the Cornell Atkinson Postdoctoral Fellowship funds highly motivated recent PhDs to conduct projects under the mentorship of a Cornell faculty host and an advisor from an external partner organization. Fellows hold academic appointments at Cornell University for two years. Each fellow receives individualized and cohort-level support, including the Sustainability Leadership Program’s workshops in professional development, career strategy, communications training, and collaborative leadership (application information below).

Via the EDF-Cornell Atkinson Postdoctoral Fellowship, Cornell faculty collaborate with scientists at the Environmental Defense Fund to propose a collaborative project to be executed by a postdoctoral fellow.  Fellows hold staff appointments at the Environmental Defense Fund for up to two years (read program and application information). As with Cornell Atkinson Postdoctoral Fellows, we invite these fellows to participate in the Sustainability Leadership Program.

The Gaius Charles Bolin Fellowships at Williams College promote diversity on college faculties by encouraging graduate students from underrepresented groups to complete a terminal graduate degree and pursue careers in college teaching. The fellowship was established in 1985 to address the shortage of faculty of color in US colleges and universities.

Gaius Charles Bolin was the first Black graduate of Williams, in 1889. He was an active and influential member of his class who went on to a successful career as a lawyer in Poughkeepsie, NY. Bolin also was a founding member of the local branch of the NAACP, and was the first African-American president of the Dutchess County Bar Association. In 1969, eighty years after Gaius Bolin graduated, Joseph E. Harris, the first Black tenure-line faculty member, was hired at Williams.

These fellowships, which honor Gaius Bolin’s legacy, are two-year residencies at Williams. Two scholars or artists are appointed each year. Fellows devote the bulk of the first year to the completion of dissertation work—or in the case of MFA applicants, building their professional portfolios—while also teaching one course as a faculty member in one of the College’s academic departments or programs. The second year of residency (ideally with degree in hand) is spent on academic career development while again teaching just one course.

Eligibility

The Bolin Fellowships are awarded to applicants from groups underrepresented in academia and/or in a particular field of scholarship, who show exceptional promise as scholars, who have an interest in and capacity for teaching students from groups that have been underrepresented in higher education, and who are pursuing a career in higher education in the United States. Eligible applicants include all U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, and U.S. permanent residents (holders of a Permanent Resident Card); individuals granted deferred action status under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Program; Indigenous individuals exercising rights associated with the Jay Treaty of 1794; individuals granted Temporary Protected Status; asylees; and refugees. Ph.D. candidates must have completed all doctoral work except the dissertation by the end of the current academic year. MFA candidates must be recent recipients of the degree; only those with degrees granted in 2023, or to be granted in 2024, are eligible to apply.

Fellowship Terms 

The annual stipend for the position is $57,000. The College will also provide health and dental benefits, relocation and housing assistance, academic support including office space and a computer, and an annual allowance of $4,000 for research-related expenses.

During the period of residence at Williams, the Bolin Fellows will be affiliated with an appropriate department or program and will be expected to teach one one-semester course each year, normally in the fall semester of year one and the spring semester of year two.

Fellowship Application will open September 1, 2023

Candidates should apply via Interfolio before November 15, 2023 with:

  • a cover letter with a description of your research and teaching interests; this letter should also explain how you will advance the goals of the fellowship in furthering diversity in U.S. higher education;
  • a full curriculum vitae;
  • two confidential letters of recommendation;
  • PhD applicants: a copy of the dissertation prospectus, preferably limited to 10-15 pages, or a research statement of the same length; and a timetable for completion of the degree.
  • Post MFA applicants: project description, preferably limited to 2-5pages [250-1250 words], and additional material, as described below:
    • Writers: 2-3 short stories, 10-15 poems, or novel passages not to exceed 50 pages
    • Visual Artists: 20 images
    • Theatre Artists: sample of design portfolio, links to performances

Eligible candidates may apply to more than one academic unit. Participating units are:
