M3C Postdoctoral Research Fellowships: McGill University is delighted to announce our 2024-2025 call for applications for the McGill Third Century (M3C) Postdoctoral Research Fellowships. Presently entering its third year, the M3C Fellowship Program reflects McGill’s commitment to recruit and train exceptional emerging scholars from all disciplines, identities, and lived experiences. The Program pursues two principal objectives:
- It contributes to the development of a pipeline of emerging scholars who are members of equity-deserving groups. Selected M3C fellows are promising prospective candidates for tenure-track positions at McGill or elsewhere following completion of the postdoctoral fellowship.
- It boosts research into pressing and complex social and scientific questions, such as: public health and health inequalities, Indigenous reconciliation and justice, civic participation and democratic engagement, data growth and privacy protection, trust in institutions, climate change and sustainability, migration and refugee displacement, income inequality, racial injustice, and food and housing insecurity.
