Please share this message with all current postdoctoral researchers at your institution.

Funding: Up to £57,000 (£44,000 + benefits)/year over up to 2 years

Eligibility: Applicants must be current postdoctoral fellows looking for subsequent postdoc positions, who are normally resident Canada and plan to return to Canada to live and work upon completion of their award.
