Description
The International Postdoctoral Fellowship (IPDF) program offers opportunities for early career PhD-holders to conduct innovative, full time, and collaborative research in cooperation with international institutions. Supporting postdoctoral fellows in achieving international exposure through travel and collaboration, while nurturing institutional relationships, are key goals of the IPDF program.
IPDF projects have a transformative approach, with a focus on action, collaboration, and interdisciplinary and/or transdisciplinary research. Community-based research is encouraged. Projects are not only rooted in the discipline of the IPDF, but integrated between disciplines, considering the human aspects of ocean-climate research. IPDF terms are typically two years. International postdoctoral fellows are co-supervised by Canadian and international researchers working on a collaborative project. Fellows travel between their co-supervisors’ institutions, within Canada and internationally, at least once per year. The IPDF participates in research life at their home institution, for example, providing presentations of their research in seminars, undergraduate lectures, and/or a public lecture during their research stay; mentoring highly qualified personnel (HQP); participating in institutional research networks and other committees, and assisting with various review processes.
