Call for nominations: University of Toronto Provost’s Postdoctoral Fellowship supports Indigenous and Black researchers

With a goal of fostering increased diversity and representation at all levels of teaching, learning and research, the University of Toronto Provost’s Postdoctoral Fellowship program (PPFP) is now accepting applications in support of new postdoctoral candidates commencing positions between May 2024 and January 2025. The program provides funding to graduate faculties to increase opportunities for hiring postdoctoral fellows from underrepresented groups, limited to Indigenous and Black scholars only. These fellowships will enable postdoctoral researchers to grow their scholarly profiles, undertake academic work at the University of Toronto, and strengthen the research environment at the university with diverse perspectives.

Program candidates must be nominated by their prospective faculties/divisions. To find out more about the program, local deadlines and nomination process, faculty advisors/mentors are encouraged to review the program webpage and contact their graduate unit chair and affiliated Faculty Research Office.

The University of Toronto is committed to fostering increased diversity and representation at all levels of teaching, learning and research. Read about the recipients of the Provost’s Postdoctoral Fellows on the PPFP webpage.
