Other Funding Sources

Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada

The Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) provides Post-doctoral Fellowship opportunities. The IPinCH project would welcome approaches by qualified researchers who have secured their own Post-doctoral Fellowship funding from SSHRC or other sources.

SSHRC Post-doctoral Fellowships details are available on the SSHRC web site:
http://www.sshrc.ca/site/apply-demande/researchers-chercheurs-eng.aspx

In previous years, the deadline for applications has been in October, with results announced in February.

Potential SSHRC-funded IPinCH Post-doctoral Fellows should be in touch with potential advisors (team members with academic appointments) not later than the September before the application is due.

Other countries may have similar Fellowship programs for their nationals.

American National Science Foundation

NSF Post-doctoral Fellowships details are available on the NSF web site:
http://www.nsf.gov/funding/education.jsp?fund_type=3

For US citizens or permanent residents, the NSF International Research Fellowship Program has a proposal deadline of the second Tuesday in September. The International Research and Education: Planning Visits and Workshops Program has a deadline of September 20 annually for Workshop proposals, and accepts applications anytime for planning visits. There are also programs specific to areas of research, for example, "Arctic Research Opportunities."
