| Abstract: | Izaak Walton Killam Memorial Postdoctoral Fellowships are awarded to individuals who are "likely to contribute to the advancement of learning or to win distinction in a profession. A Killam scholar should not be a one-sided person; special distinction of intellect should be founded upon sound character." The awards are available for most fields of research. The fellowships are tenable only at the University of British Columbia. Fellowship holders are expected to make UBC their base while holding the fellowship, apart from necessary research trips (no more than three months in each year). Killam Postdoctoral Fellows are permitted to undertake teaching or other academic duties (teaching assistantships) up to a maximum of six credits (i.e., one six-credit course in either year, or one three-credit course in each of the two years of the Postdoctoral Fellowship). |
