About this position
Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship is a national postdoctoral funding scheme run by the Government of Canada for outstanding applicants from Canada and around the world. It is designed to support researchers who can contribute to the country’s economic, social, and research-based growth while developing the leadership potential needed to become research leaders of tomorrow.
The fellowship is positioned as a high-level postdoctoral award rather than a lab-specific opening. It supports research across a broad range of fields, including medicine and health sciences, engineering, arts and humanities, social and behavioral sciences, and natural sciences. The program is intended to attract and retain top-tier postdoctoral talent and to provide a platform for ambitious, independent research.
Successful fellows receive support for a 2-year period, with research costs covering salary, travel, and field research. The award amount is 70,000 Canadian dollars.
