The Banting Postdoctoral Fellowships Program Brochure

Position yourself as a research leader of tomorrow

Canada is building world-class research capacity by recruiting top-tier postdoctoral researchers at an internationally competitive level of funding and positioning them for success as the research leaders of tomorrow. These prestigious two-year fellowships worth $70,000 per year, are open to both Canadian and international researchers who have recently completed a PhD, PhD-equivalent or health professional degree. Seventy fellowships will be awarded each year.

A different kind of fellowship

The Banting Postdoctoral Fellowships Program is unique in its emphasis on the synergy between applicants and research institutions.

Applicants have already demonstrated exceptional research results, are recognized as emerging leaders in their field and have the potential to launch an international-level, research-intensive career.

Research institutions hosting these applicants are able to demonstrate their commitment to the applicant's success through synergy with institutional research priorities, a supportive research environment and professional development opportunities.

Applicants for a Banting postdoctoral fellowship must apply in close collaboration with the university or other eligible research institution at which they would hold the fellowship.

Strong applicants with the resources and support to succeed

Successful applicants for the Banting Postdoctoral Fellowships Program will be selected on the basis of three criteria:

• research excellence and leadership in their area of expertise or research
• quality of the applicant's proposed research program
• institutional commitment and demonstrated synergy between applicant and institutional strategic priorities

Applying

All applicants, without exception, must submit their completed applications by the program deadline. This includes input from your host institution and all referee letters.
