The CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholars program is a two-year appointment designed to support young investigators at a pivotal time in their careers. Each scholar will become part of a global network of leading researchers pursuing answers to some of the most difficult challenges facing the world today. They will have the opportunity to be mentored by a senior researcher, to network within a community of top-tier research leaders, and to form new collaborations with colleagues from diverse disciplines. Training in leadership and communication will position scholars as leaders and agents of change within academia and beyond.

Benefits

CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholars will receive:

  • $100,000 CDN in undesignated research support;
  • A two-year appointment to a CIFAR research program;
  • Specialized leadership and communication skills training.

Eligibility

  • Applicants can be from anywhere in the world, but must hold a PhD or equivalent degree and be within five years of their first full-time academic appointment;
  • Scholars’ research must align with the themes of an eligible CIFAR research program. In 2017, the eligible programs are:
    • Successful Societies;
    • Institutions, Organizations & Growth;
    • Cosmology & Gravity;
    • Learning in Machines & Brains;
    • Bio-inspired Solar Energy;

    • Genetic Networks;
    • Child & Brain Development;
    • Humans & the Microbiome;
    • Molecular Architecture of Life;
    • Azrieli Program in Brain, Mind & Consciousness

Application Process

Applications are submitted online through CIFAR’s application system and must include three letters of recommendation from at least one faculty member or equivalent and preferably one non-academic leader.
