Not sure if that's any indication to follow, but maybe that is the earliest it will happen, if it happens today. That's when it was uploaded to my extranet account last year (February 23rd) and I received the email saying my results had been uploaded on February 25th. academicfornow and lilmiss90 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiterabbit Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Best wishes to everyone on their applications! Waiting eagerly along with you for my husband's results. Mrazy, academicfornow, lilmiss90 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chih-En Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 We will get an extranet account once the result is announced? (if this is first time for SSHRC postdoc?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatherCT Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 @Chih-En, a SSHRC program officer told me that, when results are available, we will receive an email with instructions on how to access extranet. Thinking of everyone on here waiting! This has not been a productive week for me, really hoping results come in super soon so I can get back to regular work instead of just obsessively checking my email...

Sounds like they've decided against sending out a preemptive email this year. Hopefully the results come sooner than later. Today or tomorrow would be wonderful, but I'm trying to come to terms with the fact we may have to wait until Monday. (I really hope not though.) I have also been frustratingly unproductive, despite having a big piece of writing due April 1. It's such a challenge to stop checking email and wondering, dreaming! msfinley, academicfornow, Mrazy and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've started resigning myself to Monday, as well. Luckily I have plans with family this weekend so I'll be distracted. I've been waking up daily from an anxiety dream that the e-mail has arrived. It's been very hard to concentrate on work. I feel your pain, Amanda! I would really love for this to work out. It would allow me to take another opportunity I have to teach in the Fall (not a full-year gig, but a great CV line!) without being resigned to precarity for the rest of AY 2022-2023.

Myself as well…I was up every 30 mins last night checking the news on Ukraine, and then now that I’m up I’ve been so unproductive and really just alternating between checking my email and checking the news (not trying at all to equivocate waiting on a postdoc email with what is happening in Ukraine!!). Just a lot of nervousness this week. academicfornow and Mrazy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed, everyone! I've been having dreams about the results too - sometimes that my proposal was successful, and sometimes that it wasn't. I'm thinking the results will be posted Monday as well.

Just a lot of nervousness this week. I've been checking the news too! My partner is in the Canadian military and that's definitely been weighing on my mind the last couple of weeks. We're seeing a lot of historical similarities to past wars right now. whiterabbit, msfinley and academicfornow 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrazy Posted February 24, 2022 Author Share Posted February 24, 2022 Does anyone have an album or song(s) they've been playing to de-stress? That's my go-to! The Lumineers' new album "Brightside" has been on repeat. I've also have "Overwhelmed" by Ryan Mack stuck in my head a lot the last week. msfinley and lilmiss90 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if you've heard of Azure Ray, they came out with a new album after years since their last one, but all of their music is really relaxing. Whenever I feel like my thoughts are going a million miles a minute I listen to their music and I find it soothing. gleefullygloomy, academicfornow and Mrazy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svaaron Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Anyone else get that sinking feeling that SSHRC is going to be so robotically bureaucratic as to withhold the results until Monday because technically that's the "end of the month" ??

Come on SSHRC, give us a little mercy! I’m starting to think so as well ? I don’t want to spend the whole weekend worrying, I’d rather find out the result whatever it is today. I’m sad I spent the whole week being anxious and unproductive and the results likely won’t even be released this week lol.

For historical reference the results in 2019 and 2020 were announced in March (by Mail, although I see someone received an e-mail saying they were doing it online again this year). So we may all have some more time to wait (I wasn't part of the 2019 competition should you be wondering if I'm still eligible to apply).

I’ve been emailing someone in their tech department who said the program officer will be making extranet accounts for us whenever the results are released and that’s how we’ll access them so at least that makes it pretty certain it’s gonna be online.
