Government of Quebec (via FRQNT/FRQS/FRQSC) Postdoctoral Studentships

The Government of Quebec, through its three research funding agencies—FRQNT (Fonds de recherche du Québec – Nature et technologies), FRQS (Fonds de recherche du Québec – Santé), and FRQSC (Fonds de recherche du Québec – Société et culture)—offers prestigious postdoctoral studentships to attract top-tier international researchers. These fellowships support cutting-edge research in natural sciences, health, and social sciences/humanities, respectively. Eligible candidates must hold a PhD (or equivalent) obtained within the last two years, demonstrate an outstanding research record, and secure a host institution in Quebec. Benefits include an annual stipend of CAD $45,000 to $50,000, plus a research allowance. The application process involves submitting a research proposal, academic transcripts, letters of reference, and a host supervisor endorsement. Deadlines vary by agency but typically fall in the fall and spring. These studentships aim to foster innovation and international collaboration, offering recipients access to Quebec’s world-class research infrastructure.
