NEW!  Indigenous Scholars Awards and Supplements Pilot Initiative (NSERC and SSHRC)
The Indigenous Scholars Awards and Supplements Pilot Initiative consist of a one-year, non-renewable supplement valued at $5,000 for all meritorious Indigenous CGS M applicants and a one-year, non-renewable award valued at $17,500 for all alternate candidates, subject to the limit of available funding. If you self-identify as Indigenous you are eligible to apply for this initiative.  Note: CIHR is not participating in this initiative.  For more information, see the Tri-Agency’s pilot initiative webpage.

IMPORTANT:

• Please apply by the deadline – make sure you meet/exceed the requirements; check the eligibility before submitting the application
• CGS-M applications cannot be submitted or edited after the application deadline.  Late applications will be ruled ineligible.  The CGS-M application deadline is set nationally by the CGS-M funding agency and is not flexible.
• Ask for reference letters early and send the instructions to your referees: http://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/ResearchPortal-PortailDeRecherche/Instructions-Instructions/CGSM_REF-BESCM_REF_eng.asp.
• Check early with our office if you have all of your official transcripts for all previous studies (including transfer credits).  Transcript guidance for applicants is outlined on the CGS-M webpage.
• Note that although the SISC academic history document is accepted for UBC CGS-M applications, it may not be accepted by other universities in Canada, so students applying elsewhere for the CGSM in addition to UBC should order official UBC transcripts.
• It would help us greatly if applicants used the same email in their CGS-M Research Portal login as in eVision or SIS. This is absolutely not a requirement, but it helps match the applications to correct programs quicker after the application deadline.

Hello,

 

Please forward the following information to your graduate students:

 

The Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology (CTLT) will be offering a Graduate Instructional Skills Workshop (ISW) on November 27, December 3 & 4, 2022.

The Grad ISW is a 24-hour, fully participatory, and peer-based professional development workshop for graduate students that is beneficial to both new and experienced instructors.

Please note: you must attend all face-to-face sessions and complete all independent work for the complete duration of the workshop, (i.e. the entire 24-hour workshop).

To apply for the waitlist for November 27, December 3 & 4, 2022 sign up here: https://events.ctlt.ubc.ca/events/graduate-instructional-skills-workshop-november-27-december-3-4-2022/

 

Application opens on October 17 and closes on November 23, 2022 at 4:30 pm. By clicking this link, you are applying for the WAITLIST only and this DOES NOT register you for the workshop. Graduate ISWs at UBC are in high demand. To create an equitable registration process all graduate students who apply for an ISW will first be enrolled on a waitlist, from which participants are randomly selected. If a participant has applied for more than one ISW waitlist, their name will appear more frequently when generating the participant list, giving them a higher chance of being selected for an ISW. If you are accepted into the workshop, you will be contacted by our office to confirm your registration. For more information and a list of all upcoming sessions visit: http://ctlt.ubc.ca/gradisw

• a full-time or part-time registered graduate student at UBC during the academic term when the ISW is offered
• a graduate student at UBC who has completed degree requirements but has not yet convocated
• a joint degree graduate student who is enrolled at UBC and another institution
• a graduate student at UBC pursuing non-degree studies
• a visiting graduate student that is eligible to take courses

 

A participant who wishes to take the Grad ISW is not eligible if they are:

Graduate Fellowship Poster

The Disaster Resilience Research Network (DRRN) is a new Research Excellence Cluster at UBC, which aims to advance multi-hazard assessment and mitigation in support of inclusive, equitable, and just disaster risk management.

 

DRRN seeking two highly motivated UBC graduate students for its inaugural Disaster Resilience Graduate Fellowship. The fellows will support the DRRN by analyzing the state of disaster research in British Columbia.

 

Two graduate students will be selected: one from the sciences or applied sciences, and the other from the social sciences or humanities. They will work together to conduct a transdisciplinary literature review about disaster preparedness, response, and governance in British Columbia from a hybrid socio-technical perspective. This review will provide a strong foundation to develop research questions and methodologies which can be implemented through external grant applications and will ultimately be revised as a publication in an appropriate transdisciplinary journal.

 

Fellows will also be expected and encouraged to participate in and support network activities, as appropriate.

 

Duration:

• January – December 2023

Pay and program benefits:

• $7,500 fellowship, paid bi-weekly
• Flexible working hours
• Shared office space

Eligibility and selection criteria:

• Must be enrolled as a graduate student at UBC for the duration of the position
• Strong research interest in disaster-related studies
• Strong research and writing skills
• Able to work both independently and as a member of a team

To apply, you will need the following materials:

• Cover letter (1-2 pages) indicating your interest in the position and describing how you meet the selection criteria above
• Academic CV

Application deadline: Monday, November 14, 2022, 11:59 PM

 

Short-listed candidates will be invited to participate in a short interview over Zoom.
