Western Postdoctoral Fellowships Program
Funding and support for postdoctoral researchers to advance research and scholarship at Western.
Western’s Postdoctoral Fellowships Program awards funding to postdoctoral scholars who contribute to the stimulation of research, scholarship and creative activity across the institution.
Grounded in the guiding principles of the Western Research strategic plan Mobilize for Impact! within the broader context of Towards Western at 150, the Western Postdoctoral Fellowships Program aspires to:
- Attract diverse postdoctoral talent from a global candidate pool who will contribute positively to research excellence;
- Enhance support for promising research programs;
- Foster a vibrant and inclusive environment for scholars and position them for success as early career researchers.

The host Faculty and/or supervisor is responsible for securing 50% of the Fellowship stipend. To assist faculty supervisors, the Dean’s office will provide $17,000/year for two years as matching funds; the supervisor will be responsible for the remaining amount.
The application form and program guidelines, including further information around eligibility, matching funds, and the application process, are available on the Western Postdoctoral Fellowships Program page.
