2024 AMR Centre Studentships and Fellowships
for Collaborative Research

The McGill AMR Centre is pleased to announce a call for application to a new AMR Collaborative Research Studentship for McGill graduate students (MSc/PhD) and Fellowship for McGill postdoctoral trainees at McGill. The goal of this support is to foster collaborative research between members of the AMR Centre by providing partial support for a full-time trainee.

Eligibility: Applicants from all faculties and departments at McGill are eligible to apply. Trainees must be supervised by a member of the AMR Center and be involved in a collaborative project with at least one other AMR Centre principal investigator. Projects must address a topic directly relevant to AMR, with priority given to those that address one of the Centre’s three main themes of diagnostics, surveillance and prevention strategies, and therapeutics. Topics may include but are not limited to the epidemiology of AMR and antimicrobial use; mechanisms or evolution of AMR, discovery, development or implementation of new preventive, diagnostic, therapeutic or stewardship approaches.

Value and duration of the award: 10,000 for graduate studentship; $15,000 postdoctoral fellowship for one year (non renewable).

Application deadline May 31 2024. View and download application details. Candidates must complete and submit the application form by email to the amrcentre [at] mcgill.ca.
