Postdoctoral Fellowship Opportunities At airn

AIRN is actively recruiting candidates for postdoctoral fellowship research opportunities in HIV, hepatitis C (HCV) and other sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBIs) and related health conditions. Please note that AIRN does not have internal funding for postdoctoral fellows at this time, but does have the capacity to support interested candidates in identifying and applying for external postdoctoral funding, including university and other public and private funding sources. Please see below for current funding opportunities to support a postdoctoral fellowship at AIRN:

The Canadian HIV Trials Network (CTN):
​

The CTN is a Canada-wide partnership of researchers, people living with HIV and their caregivers, governments, health advocates, and the innovative pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry who are all committed to generating knowledge on the prevention, treatment, and management of HIV, hepatitis C (HCV), and other sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBIs) and developing a cure for HIV, through the conduct of scientifically sound clinical trials, research, and other interventions. The CTN is dedicated to engaging with community and maximizing the impact of research and ultimately improving the health of Canadians by applying knowledge gained through research at home and abroad into clinical and non-clinical practice.

National Program
The CTN Postdoctoral Fellowship Awards Program facilitates research in HIV, hepatitis C (HCV) and other sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBIs) and related health conditions by providing funding to candidates who wish to write a trial protocol, research program, and develop and run their own trial. Each award is worth $50,000 plus up to $5,000 in travel allowance on expenses claimed. The fellowships provide career support and are renewable for up to two years. Former CTN postdoctoral fellows from the last two decades include some of Canada’s leading HIV clinical investigators today.

Eligibility
We invite applications from MDs who have completed their medical residency program or PhDs who have completed their PhD. In addition, Biostatisticians with a PhD and working in a HIV or related health conditions group are also eligible to apply.

International Fellowship
One International Fellowship is available to train a scientist who is committed to developing and conducting HIV treatment or prevention research studies in a resource-limited country. The amount of this award will be consistent with local rates and will include travel to semi-annual meetings in Canada. Please refer to the specific guidelines for this fellowship.
