Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council: SSHRC Post-Doctoral Fellowships
SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellowships support the most promising Canadian new scholars in the social sciences and humanities and assist them in establishing a research base at an important time in their research careers.
SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellowships provide stipendiary support to recent PhD graduates who are:
undertaking original research;
publishing research findings;
developing and expanding personal research networks;
broadening their teaching experience;
preparing for research-intensive careers within and beyond academia; and
preparing to become competitive in national research grants competitions.
Fellowships will normally be awarded to candidates affiliated with a university other than that which awarded the PhD. SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellowship awards are tenable at Canadian or foreign universities and research institutions.
SSHRC welcomes applications involving Aboriginal research, as well as those involving research-creation.
