Post Doctoral Fellows
What is a Post Doctoral Fellow?
A Post Doctoral Fellow (PDF) is someone who is pursuing their research after completing their doctorate. They conduct independted research, but must be supervised by a UVic faculty member. In general, PDFs are funded one of two ways:
- Grant funded - they are paid from their supervisor's grants and are employed by their supervisor
- Externally funded - they receive fundingfrom an external organization and have an appointment at UVic through a supervisor
A PDF needs to have completed a PhD from a recognized university and they are usually required to start their fellowship no more than four years after they have completed their PhD.
Contact the Post Doc administrator (postdocadmin@uvic.ca) for more information.
