Mitacs Elevate Postdoctoral Fellowship

Mitacs · Federal

In plain language

Two-year postdoctoral fellowship with mandatory industry partner. $120K total package ($55K+ annual stipend for the postdoc). PhD must be ≤5 years old at start. Partner puts up $30K/yr cash; Mitacs matches. NL fit: good pathway for MUN postdocs into Verafin, Kraken, Genoa Design, or an ocean-tech SME looking to trial a seasoned PhD before hiring. You apply through the university, not directly to Mitacs. Plan 3+ months lead time — advisor review, budget alignment, partner agreement. Competitive but less than CIHR/NSERC postdoc fellowships.
