The Supervisor will be an Associate Professor or Professor in statistics or biostatistics at a Canadian university, with experience supervising Ph.D students and postdoctoral fellows.
The Co-supervisor will be employed at a Canadian institution. In the case that the Co-supervisor is not in a university, a description justifying the proposed arrangement and describing the Co-Supervisor’s capacity to supervise research of a postdoctoral fellow is required.
Supervisors and co-supervisors may be listed on only one project. Current supervisors or co-supervisors of CANSSI distinguished postdoctoral fellows are not eligible.
Note: The supervisor and co-supervisor may both be Assistant Professors, provided that a more senior colleague (i.e., someone in statistics or biostatistics at a Canadian university at the Associate-Professor or Full-Professor level) is included as a mentor on the project. The mentoring plan for the postdoctoral fellow should include plans for how the more-senior colleague will be integrated into the project.
