CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholars Program 2025-2027 (up to $100,000 CAD)

Deadline: November 20, 2024

Applications are open for the CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholars Program 2025-2027. Collaborate across disciplines with leading global researchers. Expand your network and pursue cutting-edge ideas with unrestricted research support. Join the international community of brilliant people advancing transformative knowledge and solving humanity’s biggest problems.

The CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholars program develops highly talented junior faculty into influential research leaders who shape the direction of boundary-pushing research. It has three core components:

  • Fostering Interdisciplinary Research Excellence: CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholars join a CIFAR research program for two years, participating as equals within a small international network of some of the world’s leading researchers, who together are collaborating across disciplines in pursuit of a fundamental research question. Meeting twice yearly in locations around the world, Fellows, Advisors and Scholars in each program share work-in-progress, exchange perspectives across fields, and develop collaborative projects that spark new insights, transform research directions and open up new fields of inquiry.
  • Developing and Broadening Networks: The program expands Global Scholars’ horizons and potential for impact by broadening and deepening their networks with like-minded researchers for collaboration, support and mentorship. An Annual Meeting brings CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholars from all research programs together for leadership training, networking and community-building. It reserves significant unstructured time to brainstorm creative, cross-programmatic collaborations and develop proposals for seed funding. CIFAR also facilitates opportunities for Global Scholars to engage with leaders in government, industry, business and civil society to both inform and disseminate their work.
  • Strengthening Leadership Skills: Even the most accomplished early-career researchers typically enter their roles as principal investigators with little formal leadership training. The program provides training in focused areas of research leadership, including science communication, team leadership, trainee mentorship, science advocacy and more. CIFAR also supports and facilitates opportunities for CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholars to put their leadership skills into action.

Benefits

  • A two-year term of interdisciplinary collaboration and mentorship in a CIFAR research program, among a global network of leading researchers.
  • $100,000 CAD in unrestricted research support.
  • Opportunities to apply for time-limited seed funding to support new interdisciplinary collaborations.
  • Membership in the extended community of CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholars across research programs — creative and like-minded peers from diverse disciplines.
  • Training in focused areas of research leadership, and opportunities to put leadership into action.

Eligibility

  • There are no geographical restrictions on who may apply.
  • To be eligible, you must hold a PhD (or equivalent) and be employed in a full-time position at an institution of higher education or research, with responsibilities that include leading independent research as a principal investigator and supervising/teaching trainees toward the attainment of a degree. Typically, you are a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the North American system, or, in other academic systems around the world, an equivalent position that is designed to lead to a permanent (tenured-equivalent) faculty position.
  • You must have started your first such position (post-PhD) no earlier than July 1, 2020 and no later than July 1, 2024. Special consideration may be given to those who have taken parental leave or have exceptional circumstances.
  • Your position must be secure for the duration of the CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholar active term from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2027.

Application

Applications for the 2025-2027 CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholars program are now being accepted through November 20, 2024 (11:59 p.m. Pacific Standard Time).
