Research Postdoctoral Fellowships
Research Postdoctoral Fellowships support highly qualified postdocs to prepare for careers as independent researchers. These exceptional researchers significantly increase the productivity of the research programs with which they are affiliated. The Postdoctoral Fellowship is intended to help develop, attract and retain highly qualified personnel with advanced and innovative research skills in the province and support the advancement of impactful research in Manitoba.
Research Manitoba now provides awards for Postdoctoral Fellows without one of our funding partners.
All awards consist of an annual stipend for up to a maximum of one year.
