Dorothy Killam Fellowships
How to Apply:
The Dorothy Killam Fellowships provide support to scholars of exceptional ability by granting them time to pursue research projects of broad significance and widespread interest within the disciplines of the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, health sciences, engineering or studies linking any of these disciplines.
A Dorothy Killam Fellow is a leading researcher whose superior, ground-breaking, best-in-class research stands to have significant impact on a national or global scale. A Fellow is someone who also reflects some of the Killam attributes:
- Inclusive collaborator
- Barrier breaker
- Research leader
The Dorothy Killam Fellowships support scholars who:
- demonstrate commitment to building Canada’s future and alignment with Killam attributes
- are mid-career researchers who usually completed their PhD no more than 15 years prior, though special circumstances may result in applicants being more or less than 15 years post-PhD.
- are employed at a Canadian research institution.
Applicants must complete the online application form, and provide the following documents while adhering to the indicated maximum word count and page number in English or French, by 23:59 (applicant’s local time) on May 22, 2025.
Please note: To facilitate expert review, a preliminary research abstract is now required and must be submitted through the portal by April 30, 2025. Applicants will have the opportunity to provide an updated research abstract at the time of submission.
As a Dorothy Killam Fellowship recipient is relieved of teaching and administrative duties for the period of the fellowship, researchers interested in this fellowship are required to contact the Office of Research (ahacquo1@lakeheadu.ca) far in advance of the program deadline to indicate their interest in applying to the program.
