The Frost Centre invites applications for the Roberta Bondar Postdoctoral Fellowship for Northern and Polar Studies. Trent University is actively committed to creating a diverse and inclusive campus community and encourages applications from all qualified candidates. Trent University offers accommodation for applicants with disabilities in its recruitment processes. If you require accommodation during the recruitment process or require an accessible version of a document/publication, please contact frostcentre@trentu.ca.
All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadian citizens and permanent residents will be given priority.
The position is for a 12 month term (with an option of a one time 12 month renewal) at a salary of $60,000, plus a research allowance of $10,000. This position is aimed at recently graduated Ph.D.’s (within 5 years of graduation) with research interests in any area of Northern and Polar studies, focusing on, but not strictly limited to, Canada’s North.

The Committee is targeting a start date of no later than January 1, 2023, but an earlier start can be negotiated. Applications are due no later than 4:00 pm June 3, 2022.
