* All pages
* Editing tutorial 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; 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. NOTE: Applicants should be aware that as of the 2014-2015 competition, SSHRC’s Postdoctoral Fellowships will undergo the following changes:
* Postdoctoral Fellowships awards will increase from $38,000 per year to $40,500 per year for up to two years, while provision for a separate research allowance will no longer be offered.
* Applicants will be eligible to apply up to two years after completion of a PhD (instead of the previous three-year window).
* Applicants who have previously held a postdoctoral award from SSHRC, CIHR, or NSERC, including a Banting postdoctoral fellowship, will no longer be eligible to apply.
* Postdoctoral Fellowships evaluation criteria will align with other SSHRC grants, which assess proposals based on three main criteria: challenge, feasibility and capability. The deadline to submit a proposal for the 2014-2015 competition is October 2, 2013.
