lackingpatience Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 This is a long shot as there never seem to be a lot of us, but is there anyone else out there who applied to the SSHRC postdoctoral fellowship competition this time around?? Hopefully letters should go out next month, so wondering if anyone is in the same waiting boat as I am. This is my second time applying to the postdoc competition, I was unsuccessful last year so fingers crossed this time!
FSBM Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 I am one of those poor people who applied to SSHRC PDF ? I can't believe they will send mails instead of emails, and we need to wait one more month! lackingpatience 1

SSHRC 2017 Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 Hi all, I'm waiting for this year results as well. I just saw a link in SSHRC website, showing the results of the 2018 competition. http://www.sshrc-crsh.gc.ca/results-resultats/recipients-recipiendaires/2018/postdoctoral-postdoctorale-eng.aspx I'm confused! 2018 competition means the competition that we have applied to? or it means last year competition?

I think this list includes the people who were offered fellowship in 2018. The competition that we applied will reveal the people who will be offered a fellowship in 2019. At least this is the most reasonable thing I can think ? I know it says 2018 competition in the website for this year, I think they are inconsistent on the website.
lackingpatience Posted February 6, 2019 Author Posted February 6, 2019 Yes, I'm pretty sure those are the results from last year's competition. I know another applicant who called SSHRC recently and they confirmed results would be mailed this month. From my experience with SSHRC I'm going to guess that means end of the month and we'll receive them hopefully in early March? Hope I'm wrong and they get to it sooner..
FSBM Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 I guess you also know the budget was increased this year, so higher acceptance rates are expected. I saw in another forum that SSHRC even offered one-year postdocs to folks who were just below the cutoff last year.
HAP Posted February 14, 2019 Posted February 14, 2019 I saw on the link listed below that someone received an acceptance of the Banting Post-doc on Feb 6, and 3 received notice of not accepted for the Banting. (Damn I wish I had applied for the Banting) - I applied for a 2-year "regular" SSHRC post-doc. Anyhow - think that would mean we would hear soon. ... ... http://academicjobs.wikia.com/wiki/SSHRC_2019-2020
Lucretiuss Posted February 14, 2019 Posted February 14, 2019 Does anyone know about the ability to take a SSHRC to a different university? I applied for the small post-doc, but I’ve been offered a post doc at a different university. What I’m wondering is if I’m successful in my SSHRC post doc, will they let me transfer it to this other institution different from the one I originally proposed in my app?
CeeDev Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 BTW I just emailed SSHRC this morning, and they told me they will be mailing out the letters at the 'beginning of March,' which is annoyingly vague. Good luck everyone! lackingpatience and FSBM 1 1

FSBM Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 SSHRC tweeted "UPDATE: The announcement of the #SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellowship results has been postponed to March 8. #sshrcpostdoc" lackingpatience 1
mr_negativity Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 This is so frustrating. First they're vague about the release dates, now they're delaying them. So much of my future depends on the outcome of this competition, these delays are causing a breakdown.

lackingpatience Posted March 1, 2019 Author Posted March 1, 2019 I kept telling myself this would happen, but it hasn't made it any less frustrating! I've never known SSHRC to meet a deadline, and since they pushed back the submission deadline for this comp I just knew they'd push back the results too... Hang tight folks, we'll make it! FSBM 1
mr_negativity Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 SSHRC will only be mailing out the results on Friday, just to torture us a bit longer.
LeahYael2022 Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 FYI: I emailed them for clarification of when letters would be mailed. They just wrote back: The results for the Postdoctoral competition will be mailed this afternoon. lackingpatience and FSBM 1 1

I'm in Alberta, I guess I'll have to wait much more longer for my letter.
HAP Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 Yes thanks to everyone for these updates! Ooh so hopefully next week! I'm in Kelowna - we seem to get our mail last in the country. And agreed to posting when we each receive notice.
lackingpatience Posted March 7, 2019 Author Posted March 7, 2019 Just noticed someone on twitter post about an hour ago that they did not receive an award -- as far as I can tell they are in Montreal, which is where I am. I haven't got any news yet though... suppressing an urge to sit by the mailbox.
FSBM Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 (edited) I hope he shares the results' statistics in one of the forums. 3 minutes ago, lackingpatience said: Just noticed someone on twitter post about an hour ago that they did not receive an award -- as far as I can tell they are in Montreal, which is where I am.

I'm in Ottawa, like a 10 min walk from the SSHRC office, and I haven't received anything.
