UBC Law welcomes applications from PhD graduates for postdoctoral positions.
General information about working as a postdoctoral fellow at UBC is available through the Postdoctoral Fellows Office. Please also see the Postdoctoral Fellows Handbook.
All postdoctoral fellows require a full-time faculty member as supervisor. If you have not identified a supervisor, then please review the faculty member profiles to identify faculty members who are working in your field of interest and contact them to ask if they might be prepared to act as your postdoctoral supervisor.
Funding
UBC Law does not have funding for postdoctoral fellows. However, UBC does administer a number of awards for postdoctoral fellows. Please visit the Postdoctoral Scholarships, Awards & Funding page for further information. All applications for UBC-administered awards must be submitted through the Graduate Program in Law. Please contact the office (graduates@law.ubc.ca) for information about internal deadlines.
Application information
Before applying, please confirm that a UBC Law faculty member is prepared to serve as a postdoctoral fellow supervisor. Applications should include:
Submit applications to the Graduate Program in Law (graduates@law.ubc.ca).
The Graduate Committee in Law will review and rank all applications for the purposes of UBC-administered funding. If your application is confirmed and your application for funding is successful, then we will provide an appointment letter.
