How do I determine if my postdoc will be unionized?

In order to determine if a postdoc will be unionized, we must look at the funding structure of the fellowship. If 50% or more of the minimum salary will be paid through the supervisor’s research fund, the postdoc is considered unionized.

If the postdoc comes with their own funding (the funding is directly in their name), they will be considered non-unionized.

Can I supervise a postdoctoral fellow as an Adjunct Professor at Carleton University?

If you hold Adjunct status at Carleton University, you cannot singularly host a postdoc at Carleton. However, you may co-supervise a postdoc with a faculty member at Carleton.

What happens if my postdoc finishes their postdoctoral fellow contract early?

Please send an email to the Academic Relations Coordinator at pdf.coordinator@carleton.ca detailing the end of the fellowship.

Do I have to live in Canada to work as a postdoctoral fellow at Carleton University?

Yes! If you are hired as an international postdoctoral fellow, you must complete your work in Canada. The Academic Relations Coordinator will assist you in applying for a work permit.

Can I apply to a Postdoctoral Fellow position at Carleton if I do not live in Canada?

Yes!  We greatly welcome Postdoctoral Fellow candidates from around the world.  To express your interest as an international postdoc, please check out our News & Job Opportunities page or contact a faculty member, directly.

In order to work in Canada, you must have a valid work permit.  Once you are a chosen as a postdoc, the Academic Relations Coordinator will assist you in applying for a work permit.

How do I become a Postdoctoral Fellow at Carleton University?
