Funded by the Government of Canada, these fellowships provide funding to the very best postdoctoral applicants, both nationally and internationally at a level of $70,000 per year for two years. This Fellowship requires a synergy between the applicant and the host institution, with the applicant completing their application in full collaboration with the proposed host institution. The proposed research must be aligned with the host institutions strategic priorities. Further information is available at: banting.fellowships-bourses.gc.ca/. Northern environmental research is a strategic priority of Wilfrid Laurier University (Laurier), with Laurier and the Government of the Northwest Territories signing a 10-year (2010-2020) Partnership Agreement. The goal of this Partnership is to expand the Territories’ capacity to conduct environmental research and to train the new expertise needed to manage the natural resources of the NWT for future generations, and to ensure the sustainability of northern water systems. <br>In support of the Partnership, Dr. Marsh, Canada Research Chair in Cold Regions Water Science, is developing a research program that is focussed on the changing hydrology of Arctic Canada, with specific interests in understanding the complex interactions between climate, vegetation, permafrost, snow and runoff. This program includes both field observations at long term observatories in the Western Canadian Arctic, analysis of past hydrologic records, and high resolution modelling. <br>To further develop this research program, Dr. Philip Marsh invites potential Banting Fellowship applicants to submit a letter of interest by August 5 to the email address below. Details of the application processes at Laurier is described at <a href="http://www.wlu.ca/page.php?grp_id=36&p=24457"><span style='color:blue'>http://www.wlu.ca/page.php?grp_id=36&p=24457</span></a>. <br><i>To be considered, please send (no later than August 5) a letter of introduction, CV, names of three references, and a ½ to 1 page statement of research interest to: Philip Marsh, Canada Research Chair, Cold Regions Research Centre, Wilfrid Laurier University. <a href="mailto:pm.bantingfellowship@outlook.com"><span style='color:blue'>pm.bantingfellowship@outlook.com</span></a>.
