The Post-doctoral fellows will collaborate with members of the Centre for
Research on Language, Mind and Brain on a project related to language and
cognition, which fulfills the centre mandate for interdisciplinary study within
these fields.

The fellowships offer an annual salary of $40,000 Canadian for a period of two
years from start date. The Centre does not provide additional funds for travel
and research, nor will funding be extended beyond the two-year period. Such
funding may, however, be negotiated with individual supervisors.

Eligibility:
A candidate must hold, or be at the final stages of completing a Ph.D. in any
field related to the study of speech and language at an accredited university.
Candidates with more than five years of post-Ph.D. research training by the
competition deadline are not eligible to apply for this award. Any interruption
in a candidate's post-Ph.D. research training will be taken into account in
determining eligibility.
