Eligibility
for the Scholarship

• Applicants must normally have obtained their PhD or equivalent (including
  a recognized health professional degree plus a medical specialty) at a
  university or institution other than McGill University. In certain
  circumstances an HBHL postdoctoral fellowship may be awarded to an
  applicant who is staying at McGill within the same research environment
  where they completed their PhD or equivalent. In such cases, a solid
  justification must be provided. Examples of valid justifications are
  scientific reasons (e.g., availability of specialized
  equipment/infrastructure or candidate’s unique expertise), medical reasons
  (e.g., proximity to required health care facilities), or family reasons
  (e.g., family obligations, a spouse’s career) which make it necessary to
  remain at McGill for both the PhD or equivalent and postdoctoral studies.

• Applicants
  must have obtained their PhD or equivalent by the award start date, and no
  more than 2 years prior to the award start date. The window of
  eligibility may be extended by a cumulative maximum of two years if the
  applicant had their career interrupted for reasons such as parental leave,
  illness and health-related family responsibilities. Please describe and
  justify any delay that would qualify you for an extension of the
  eligibility period.
• The
  competition is open to both Canadian and foreign applicants. Candidates
  may consult the Brain@McGill Researcher Database to identify
  potential supervisors and contact them directly. However, potential
  supervisors are not limited to those in this database.
• The
  proposed research project must be aligned with HBHL’s goals and research
  priorities and tie in to at least one of HBHL’s four Research Themes.
• Applicants
  must be registered as a Postdoc at McGill University by the
  start date of the award. Successful applicants will be considered
  Postdoctoral Researchers (Group C).
• The
  applicant cannot concurrently hold an HBHL award and a fellowship from
  another Canadian federal or provincial funding agency, or a McGill
  internal fellowship. However, fellowships from private foundations or
  organizations may be held concurrently.
