Tell Me About the KILLAM Postdoctoral Research Fellowship.

The Killam Scholarship and Prize Programmes were created to honor Izaak Walton Killam, based on the Will of his wife, Dorothy Johnston Killam, and her generous gifts. These programs aim to support advanced education and research at five Canadian universities and the Canada Council for the Arts.

The UBC Killam Postdoctoral Research Fellowships, funded by the Izaak Walton Killam Memorial Fund for Advanced Studies, are awarded annually for most research fields. Mrs. Killam envisioned recipients as individuals who are likely to contribute significantly to their field or achieve professional distinction. She believed that a Killam scholar should possess both intellectual excellence and strong character. The fellowship offers an annual stipend of $60,000 for up to two years.  Each year, three to five new fellowships are awarded
