[Gabora, Liane]

Please forward to anyone who may be interested:

Postdoctoral Fellowship for Research on Computational/Mathematical Approaches to Creativity

Applications are invited for a two-year postdoctoral fellowship studying computational / mathematical modeling of creativity, working on one (or more) of the following three projects:

  1.  Modeling the emergence of creative ideas in cognitive networks using a network science approach
  2.  Using patent data to model cultural lineages
  3.  Applying a quantum cognition framework to model concept combination and problem solving

The postdoc would normally be carried out at the Okanagan campus of the University of British Columbia, however, complete or partial remote working arrangements may be considered.

Further details on eligibility requirements can be found below. If interested, please email me at liane.gabora at ubc.ca<mailto:liane.gabora at ubc.ca>.

UBC Okanagan Postdoctoral Fellowship (UBCOPF)
The College of Graduate Studies is pleased to announce the launch of a new UBCO postdoctoral award. The UBC Okanagan Postdoctoral Fellowship (UBCOPF) provides the opportunity to bring top talent to the research community at UBC’s Okanagan campus. These fellowships are awarded to the most highly qualified domestic or international postdoctoral researchers who will contribute to research excellence at UBC Okanagan. Full details are available on our website<https://gradstudies.ok.ubc.ca/postdocs/ubc-postdoctoral-fellowships/>.

Fellowship Details (additional details in the attached instructions document):
Two fellowships are awarded annually: one for STEM disciplines and one for research in the Arts, Humanities, and/or Social Sciences.

  *   Annual Value: $50,000
  *   Duration: 2 years (non-renewable)
  *   Preference will be given to applicants whose prospective supervisor is in the developmental stage of their career.
  *   The supervisor/department/faculty of the UBCOPF recipients are expected to contribute $10,000 per year to cover the cost of benefits.

Without exception, the UBCOPF:

  *   is tenable only at the University of British Columbia Okanagan campus;
  *   must be taken up no earlier than April 1st of the competition year, and no later than March 31st of the following year;
  *   is held for a period of up to two years;
  *   cannot be held concurrently with another Tri-Agency training award, nor can it be held in conjunction with the Killam Postdoctoral Research Fellowship; and
  *   Can be held only once in a lifetime.

Pre-Application Proposals:

  *   All applicants need to submit a Pre-Application Proposal.  Applicants who wish to apply for both the Killam Postdoctoral Research Fellowship and the UBC Okanagan Postdoctoral Fellowship will need to submit a Pre-Application Proposal for both awards.

Application Procedures and Timeline:
The applicant completes and submits a Pre-Application Proposal form and, if recommended by their proposed faculty, a full application.

The Pre-Application Proposal form, full application, and a detailed application guide are included in the ‘Additional Resources’ section of the website<https://gradstudies.ok.ubc.ca/postdocs/ubc-postdoctoral-fellowships/>.

UBC Okanagan Postdoctoral Fellowship Pre-Application Proposal form:  due 12:00 noon, Wed. Sept. 6, 2023

A more detailed timeline and instructions for applicants and supervisors can be found in the UBCOPF instructions attached in this email.

Applicants to the UBCOPF may also be eligible for the Killam Postdoctoral Research Fellowship. To be considered for both fellowships, applicants must submit the UBCOPF Pre-Application Proposal form as well as the Killam Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Pre-Application Proposal form, and select ‘yes’ to: “I have reviewed the eligibility criteria and would like to be considered for the UBC Okanagan Postdoctoral Fellowship”. It is not necessary to submit two separate full applications to the Killam and UBCOPF; a Killam application will suffice for both fellowship programs.
