Canadian Post-Doctoral Research Fellowships (PDRF)
Objectives and Goals:
As part of the Government of Canada Awards (GCA), the Government of Canada offers one-year post-doctoral research fellowships tenable at recognized public Canadian universities and affiliated research institutes.
The Canadian Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship Program (PDRF) is designed to provide research opportunities to promising recent doctoral graduates in the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences and engineering. Fellowships are not offered to professional artists nor to those wishing to do clinical research and training involving patient-care. Priority will be given to candidates who have not previously studied in Canada under a Canadian government scholarship.
· Applicants must be citizens of France. Anyone who has obtained Canadian citizenship or who has applied for permanent residency in Canada is ineligible.
· Applicants must have completed a Ph.D. degree within the last four (4) years or have completed the Ph.D. degree requirements before taking up the award.
· Applicants must be accepted into a post-doctoral position at a recognized public Canadian university or affiliated research institute.
· Fellowship must commence no later than 30 September 2008.
Value:
Total value of the fellowship is $32,000 CAD and it is not taxable in Canada. As no dependant allowance is payable, it is essential that fellows who plan to bring their family to Canada have sufficient financial resources for their support.
