Description: |
MITACS Elevate is a pilot program designed to ensure that PhD holders, among the most highly-skilled individuals in Canada, are retained and equipped for future careers. Elevate fellows will gain valuable research experience in areas of industrial and societal importance as well as training in non-technical professional skills. The academic supervisors must hold a regular tenure-track position at a university in Southern Ontario and be eligible to hold Tri-Council funding. Industry funds must be sent directly to MITACS prior to the commencement of the fellowship. Note that preference will be given to partners that act as for-profit companies including crown corporations. Governmental agencies are not eligible partners, but arms-length organizations such as hospitals are eligible. |
