In partnership with the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF), CIFAR is holding a Winter School for senior PhD students and postdoctoral fellows in the social sciences and humanities (SSH). Emphasizing the use of empirical research, the school will explore critical questions in SSH as well as real-world implications for and inclusion of policy and the arts.

Interested applicants must be senior PhD students or postdoctoral fellows based in Canada, Switzerland, or affiliated with a CIFAR program member. Applicants are required to submit a CV as well as a short discussion of their research, how the school would benefit their future career, and their interest in participating in an inter- and trans-disciplinary forum. 

Given that the School will be held in Switzerland, to account for travel planning, applicants from outside of the host country must apply by October 7. Applicants based in Switzerland have until October 28 to submit their application. If you have any questions, please contact nextgen@cifar.ca.
