Alice Wilson Award

Each year, the Royal Society of Canada offers the Alice Wilson Award, in the form of a $1,000 supplement, to three women of outstanding academic qualifications in the arts and humanities, social sciences, or sciences who are entering a career in scholarship or research at the postdoctoral level. The primary criterion for selection is demonstrated excellence in the candidate’s work and research.

Award winners are chosen from the current year’s top-ranked female recipients of postdoctoral fellowships from the three federal research funding agencies—the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council.

Applicants do not need to apply for this supplementary award. SSHRC will contact eligible postdoctoral fellowships award recipients will be contacted in the months following the competition results.
