Syme Training Fellowship Applications Now Being Accepted
The Institute for Work & Health is now accepting applications for its 12-month S. Leonard Syme Training Fellowship in Work and Health.
The fellowships are for young researchers at the master's or doctoral level intending to study work and health. Preference will be given to candidates whose research interests include understanding the social determinants of health and illness in work environments, evaluating workplace interventions to improve health, and/or exploring the measurement issues associated with either of these two areas. IWH is particularly interested in candidates who show a commitment to research that promises to reduce work-related injury, illness and disability in Ontario. In the spirit of Dr. Syme's own contributions to research mentorship, candidates from any disciplinary background are eligible for training fellowships. A maximum of three smaller awards or one larger award may be offered. Awards are based on the merit of the research proposed.
The registration deadline for applications is November 27, 2020.

Mustard Fellowship Applications Now Being Accepted
The Institute for Work & Health is now accepting applications for its post-doctoral Mustard Fellowship in Work and Health.
The fellowship supports the development of outstanding new researchers in the field of work and health congruent with the mission of the Institute. It aims specifically to build capacity for innovative multidisciplinary research concerning the relationships between work environments and worker health. As such, the fellowship is open to a range of academic disciplines including social, behavioural and organizational sciences, as well as clinical and population health sciences. Submissions are encouraged from applicants with an interest in either of the Institute’s two overarching priorities: Work as a Determinant of Health and Health as a Determinant of Work. The fellowship is valued at $55,000 per year and may be awarded for up to two years (i.e., one year with the possibility of a one-year renewal). Only one fellowship will be awarded.
The fellowship is named in honour of Dr. J. Fraser Mustard, who was the founding Board Chair of the Institute for Work & Health.
The application deadline is December 4, 2020.
