Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Competition to Launch Fall 2025

NMD4C and MDC also hold postdoctoral fellowship awards in neuromuscular disease research as a part of our annual fellowship funding competition. These awards provide salary support for early-career scientists to conduct postdoctoral studies in a Canadian laboratory focused on NMD research. The postdoctoral fellowship competition will continue to take place in the fall. More information on how to apply for this year’s competition will be available in the fall of 2025.
