CRM-ISM postdoctoral fellowships are awarded to beginning researchers who recently obtained a Ph.D. Researchers who received their doctorate more than five years before the application deadline are not eligible for the fellowship. The value of the fellowship is $40,000 per year, of which one half is paid jointly by the CRMand the ISM, and the other by a research group or professor from one of the ISM member universities. The fellowship permits the recipient to devote most of his or her time to postdoctoral research under the supervision of a professor from one of the ISM member universities. The duration of the fellowship is one year, renewable for a second if the research director writes a letter of support confirming that the work completed by the fellow over the first year is satisfactory and justifies the renewal of the fellowship. The stipend of the fellowship includes no teaching assignments; if the fellow teaches during his or her stay, he or she must receive an additional salary for the teaching tasks performed.

Procedures and Deadlines :
Candidates submit their applications electronically to the official competition website: http://www.crm.umontreal.ca/~crmism/index_en.html. ISM research groups and professors then consult the applications and prepare a ranked list of candidates whom they would be willing to support – this procedure is called ” the proposition of candidates “. Since half of the fellowship is funded by a research group or the research director, the support of the application is essential for the application to be considered in the final selection. All of the applications proposed by research groups or professors are evaluated, along with the supporting documents from the research groups, at the meeting for the final selection of fellows. The meeting for the selection of fellows is normally held during the first week of February.
Eligibility :
- the excellence of the dossier
- the integration of the candidate into a research group
- the guarantee of financing from a research group
