Mitacs Postdoctoral Fellowship in Non-Profit Art Publishing
PUBLIC Journal is pleased to announce a competition for a two-year Mitacs Accelerate Postdoctoral Fellowship position hosted by PUBLIC Journal of interdisciplinary art and York University.
PUBLIC<http://www.publicjournal.ca/> is an interdisciplinary journal with a core focus on visual and media art practices and new approaches to online curation. It strives to be a beautiful journal about art with the timeliness and visual interest of a magazine but the longevity of a book. PUBLIC maintains an enduring and esteemed profile in the periodicals market with its demonstrated commitment to publishing works, both written and visual, that are innovative and challenging, forward-thinking and critical, and engage both internationally and locally inflected perspectives. The journal devotes each 180+ – page, perfect-bound semi-color issue to a contemporary problem or theme and features content that combines critical writing, rich illustration throughout, and artist portfolios. PUBLIC stands apart from other publications by being conceived as a hybrid intellectual and creative forum that investigates how theoretical and critical issues intersect with art and public culture.
