If the department recommends a fellowship application, follow the procedures outlined below.
Individual departments will pre-screen applications and forward the two top-ranked candidates for consideration by the Postdoctoral Fellowship Committee.
Note: December 1, 2009 is the deadline for prospective postdocs to submit all documents to departments.
Application Procedures
1.Complete a Postdoctoral Fellowship Application Form
2.Prepare a curriculum vitae
List refereed publications or conference proceedings, beginning with the most recent.
List publications in which you are author or co-author that are published, in press, and/or accepted for publication in refereed journals.
For papers in press, indicate the date of acceptance by the editor.
Begin each entry on a new line and state the full authorship, the year, the title, the name and volume of the journal, and the first and last page numbers. The authorship should be identical to that of the original publication.
3.Obtain official copies of all graduate academic transcripts.If you are submitting transcripts from a university outside North America you may submit certified copies of all documents (both mark sheets and degree certificates) that have been certified by a Department Head or the Registrar at the university, or by a notary public. All documents submitted must be in English, as well as the original language in which they were written. A certified translator, not yourself, must prepare the English version.
4.Arrange for three Letters of Appraisals from persons familiar with your academic work to be sent to the chair of the department.
All letters of appraisal must have original signatures. They should contain a substantive evaluation of your ability and not be merely testimonials, as the fellowships are intended primarily for those who are seeking to establish themselves in their chosen field.
Letters forwarded by a dossier service or career placement office will not be accepted.
Only have three appraisals sent. Any additional letters will be removed prior to competition.
5.Arrange a letter of support from the U of A research supervisor.
6.Submit a complete application package to the Chair of the department.
Fellowship Committee Adjudication & Selection
The Postdoctoral Fellows Offices convenes the Postdoctoral Fellowship Committee in mid-February to select fellowship recipients.
Letters of offer will be sent to successful applicants immediately following the selection meeting. The Postdoctoral Fellows Office will also send letters of regret to unsuccessful applicants.
Departments are notified of successful applicants by email.
Once a postdoc has accepted a fellowship, the Postdoctoral Fellows Office sets up the research allowance and administers payroll and benefits of the fellowship.
The Postdoctoral Fellows Office also administers renewals of fellowships.
