For those who have a SSHRC doctoral fellowship, how do you metion this on your CV? Do you list it under the other awards and honours you've received? Or would you write something like...

EDUCATION

PhD, University of X, 2008

SSHRC Doctoral Fellow, 2007-2008

MA, University of Y, 2007

Would this be over the top, especially when you're on the job market? Any thoughts?

the SSHRC is a fellowship, not a degree. you list it under awards, grants, and fellowships, not under education. it would be over the top. no fellowships, no matter how prestigious (and while the SSHRC is an awesome deal, it's given out to so many people that i'd not necessarily call it that prestigious), should go under the education heading of your CV.

I agree, but on the other hand, you are called a SSHRC Doctoral Fellow. Kind of like a Post-doctoral Fellow, you would list it under your "Academic Appointments" or the like.

no. a SSHRC recipient (or SSRC, or ACLS mellon, etc.) is NOT an equivalent position to a post-doctoral fellow.

when a university gives you their own internal fellowship, you are also called a fellow. and you still list that under "awards, grants, AND FELLOWSHIPS."

"education" is for degrees conferred or in progress.

"employment" is for TAships, post-docs, and any sort of position where you are paid a salary to do something IN ADDITION TO working on your own research.

but you can go ahead and put it under education if you want to. that's not where it should go and anyone that sees your CV and knows what the SSHRC is will think it's odd, but if that's where you want to list it... go for it.
