Postdocs can secure funding themselves from external funding agencies or fellowship programs, or may be offered funding from their supervisor’s grant or research resources. The source of funding determines the postdoctoral status (Postdoctoral Fellow – Group A, Postdoctoral Scholar – Group B, or Postdoctoral Researcher – Group C). For more information, please review the categories of postdoc at McGill.
