SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellowship 2020-2021

Hi everyone,

I was just wondering if there is anyone out there who has applied for the SSHRC postdoctoral fellowship? Thought I would start a forum to wait out the results with others.

Hi!

I applied to the SSHRC postdoctoral fellowship to be reviewed by Committee 4.

I will be reviewed by Committee 4 as well! Do you have any idea how many applicants usually apply for SSHRC Postdoc and how many win?

The acceptance rate is around %17 and %19. I applied last year as well, but unfortunately was rejected. You can find lots of detail about previous years in Wikia.org. Here is the page for last year's competition:

I think the worst thing about this fellowship is being have to wait for 6 months; I got my letter on 8th of March last year. I don't understand why they insist on using regular mail for notifications in 2019.

Thanks for the link! Hopefully the results aren’t that late this time around. I read that we are supposed to hear back some time in February. Best of luck to you on your application!

Thank you! I wish the best for you, too.
