Through a generous three million dollar donation from alumnus Calvin Choi, the AMTD Waterloo Global Talent Postdoctoral Fellowship program has been able to provide a limited number of highly prestigious fellowships to exceptional academics, researchers and inventors. Fellowships include a $75,000 annual salary, and engagement fund of $7,500, plus access to additional funds to create disruptive research dissemination opportunities.
Beginning in 2020, the program will welcome a total five cohorts of exceptional scholars to Waterloo, with 2024 being the final cohort. The competition for the 2024 cohort closed on December 1, 2023, and no further applications will be considered for the AMTD program. We look forward to announcing the 2024 cohort of AMTD scholars in fall 2024.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within the Office of Indigenous Relations.
