Canada is building world-class research capacity by recruiting top-tier postdoctoral trainees at an internationally competitive level of funding.

The objective of the Banting Postdoctoral Fellowships Program (http://banting.fellowships-bourses.gc.ca/about-a_propos/purpose-but-eng.html) is to attract and retain top-tier postdoctoral talent, both nationally and internationally, to develop their leadership potential and to position them for success as research leaders of tomorrow, positively contributing to Canada's economic, social and research-based growth through a research-intensive career.

The fellowships are administered by Canada's three research granting councils – the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.

The Banting Postdoctoral Fellowships Program provides awards to the very best postdoctoral researchers, both nationally and internationally, who will positively contribute to the country's economic, social and research-based growth. The awards are two-year fellowships, worth $70,000/year (taxable) for a total award of $140,000. Seventy fellowships will be awarded each year.
