The UBC Killam Postdoctoral Research Fellowship funds advanced research in most fields for scholars who completed their PhD within 24 months prior to the fellowship start date. It supports independent research excellence with a $60,000 award tenable through a UBC appointment. Preference is given to applicants without prior postdoctoral awards. Fellows must base themselves at UBC and be supervised by a tenure-track faculty member.
Applicants must have completed their PhD within 24 months prior to the fellowship start, not have pursued PhD studies at UBC, and not hold a tenure-track or continuing faculty position. Candidates of any nationality meeting Canadian immigration requirements are eligible.
