Overview
With the generous support of the Lupina Foundation, the Faculty of Arts is the home of the Lupina Foundation Postdoctoral Research Fellows program. This fellowship supports researchers addressing the social determinants of health, with an emphasis on research at the intersection of health, society, and technology. Lupina Postdoctoral Fellows are committed to improved access to health care, quality of life and health outcomes, and the development of preventive solutions for health issues regionally, nationally, and globally.
The Faculty of Arts has a diverse group of researchers working within and across many different areas addressing multi-faceted questions related to healthcare, policy, economy, and technology. Lupina Research Fellows have the opportunity to work with top research faculty at Waterloo and join a collegial and supportive interdisciplinary research environment. Arts will promote community building among postdoctoral fellows by facilitating the interaction of existing and new postdoctoral fellows (including Lupina and non-Lupina funded researchers) through professional development activities, research mash-ups, and social events.
Please note: All funds allocated for the current grant cycle have now been fully committed. The Arts office is currently reviewing potential avenues for future funding opportunities and will share updates as soon as they become available.
