Community Programming

The CIHR Canadian HIV Trials Network (CTN) is pleased to announce the 2022/23 competition for the CTN Postdoctoral Fellowship Awards Program.

The program offers career support to outstanding young scientists at major Canadian centres. 
The goals are:
  • to help meet the need for trained principal investigators in HIV and related health conditions in Canada,
  • to foster a dynamic research environment at Canadian HIV care centres and institutions, and
  • to promote cooperation and collaboration among pharmaceutical and bio-technology industries, government and scientists in the evaluation of new HIV therapies, vaccines and clinical interventions.
We have several postdoctoral fellowship awards available. To provide equitable access for candidates who cannot find a supervisor with sufficient expertise in the candidate's area of interest within their region (for example, the Atlantic and Prairie Provinces or the Territories), we are willing to match candidates with CTN Investigators who are available to virtually co-supervise candidates.  

Click here to find out more and download an application form.
Application deadline: February 15, 2022.
 
Joignez-vous à nous le jeudi 9 décembre 2021 à 18h pour une séance sur notre nouveau programme de GetaKit - la trousse de dépistage de VIH que vous pouvez effectuer vous-même. Durant cet atelier vous aurez la chance d'en savoir plus sur le programme et poser vos questions.
 
S.V.P., confirmez votre présence au plus tard le 8 décembre en envoyant un courriel à kero@actionpositive.ca ou par téléphone, au 647-512-0261
