SSHRC 2016-2017

This page is for tracking SSHRC awards to be held during the 2016-2017 academic year.

SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellowships proposals are expected to respond to the objectives put forward in the call for proposals for the Talent program.

SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellowships support the most promising Canadian new scholars in the social sciences and humanities and assist them in establishing a research base at an important time in their research careers.

SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellowships provide stipendiary support to recent PhD graduates who are: undertaking original research; publishing research findings; developing and expanding personal research networks; broadening their teaching experience; preparing for research-intensive careers within and beyond academia; and preparing to become competitive in national research grants competitions.

Fellowships will normally be awarded to candidates affiliated with a university other than that which awarded the PhD. SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellowship awards are tenable at Canadian or foreign universities and research institutions.

SSHRC welcomes applications involving Aboriginal research, as well as those involving research-creation.

Value: $40,500 per year

Duration: 12 to 24 months

DISCUSSION

 * Anyone else have trouble with the application form this evening? I tried to verify a few minutes before 8pm and the verify button had disappeared. Does anyone have any experience with this?
 * Hi there. Can the same individual send two post doc fellowship applications for the same academic year, one for SSHRC and the other for CIHR? Thanks for the feedback..!
 * No, you can't - you're only allowed to submit one postdoc application to SSHRC, CIHR, or NSERC per year. See details under eligibility: http://www.sshrc-crsh.gc.ca/funding-financement/programs-programmes/fellowships/postdoctoral-postdoctorale-eng.aspx#a4
