Postdoctoral Fellowship Program
The Postdoctoral Fellowship Program (PDF) is managed by the Office
of the Chief Scientist (OCS) and offers highly trained and
qualified professionals the opportunity to conduct research in
Health Canada
facilities under the mentorship of departmental employees. These
people work in a wide range of scientific areas, including biological,
physical, environmental, and social sciences. Fellowships are also
offered in the areas of policy research and analysis, in particular
as they relate to the translation of scientific knowledge into
policy.
PDF Competition
In partnership with the Branches across the Department, the
OCS is inviting applications for Health Canada's third Postdoctoral
Fellowship Program competition.
About the Program
The fellowships are granted for up to two years with an annual
stipend of $43,000. The competition is held annually, with
requests for applications being announced towards the end
of each calendar
year.
During the first competition, approximately
10 fellowships will be awarded each year,
so that from the third year
of the program onwards, there will be up
to 20 postdoctoral fellows working at Health Canada each
year.
