The University of Toronto in Canada invites applications for the Arts & Science Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme for the 2020/2021 academic session.
The Arts & Science Postdoctoral Fellowships are designed to provide outstanding recent doctoral students advanced training in their field of study. These fellowships are not discipline-specific, but rather can be held in any department or research unit across the Faculty of Arts & Science (A&S) at the University of Toronto. Applicants must secure sponsorship of a supervisor, or supervisors, from the professoriate within the Faculty of A&S (St. George Campus).
Worth of Award
The Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme covers the following;
- Each award will provide $48,000 per year for a maximum of two years.
- There are two types of funding for the fellowships. One is fully-funded, where A&S contributes the full stipend of $48,000 and benefits.
- The other is match-funded, where supervisors and/or units contribute half the stipend ($24,000) and benefits, the second half of which is matched by A&S.
- A section of the Supervisor Postdoctoral Fellowship Form requires the supervisor to specify which funding type applies to their application.
