Provost’s Program for Black and Indigenous Postdoctoral Scholars at University of Waterloo

The Provost’s Program for Black and Indigenous Postdoctoral Scholars will contribute to the reduction of barriers for Black and Indigenous scholars in a supportive environment that fosters inclusivity, a sense of belonging, and a culture of engagement.

The Program directly supports Waterloo’s strategic plan to strengthen sustainable and diverse communities. More specifically, the Program advances Indigenous initiatives and promotes a culture of equity, diversity, and inclusivity for all, improving the representation, participation, and engagement of equity-deserving groups within our community.

The Provost’s Program for Black and Indigenous Postdoctoral Scholars invites applications for the inaugural award, which provides successful candidates with annual support that includes a salary of $70,000 plus a benefits package. The scholars will also receive a one-time research fund of $5,000 at the time of their appointment. The value of the support demonstrates the importance of and commitment to building diverse communities at Waterloo. The term of the appointment is 2 years.
