Fellowships are available to graduate students (Master and PhD levels) or post-doctoral fellows joining the Neurophysics research groups. The best applications typically receive a fellowship from one of the Neurophysics grants funded by CIHR. However, since this number is limited every year, students are strongly encouraged to apply to the various sources of grants available in the fields of Physics, Health, etc.
The table below summarizes some of these fellowships. We provide a link to the funding agencies homepage where you will be able to find a guide and applying forms. Note that the fellowships available are not limited to this list, which is designed as an aid to help you start your inquiries. Our Awards webpage also offers direct links to some of the fellowships obtained by our students.
Post-doctoral fellowships are also numerous and often depend on the specificity of the applicant. Hence they are too numerous to detail below. Please use the provided links as a start to access your specific information.
