Some further information on the above positions: Preference is given to Canadian applicants, because professors in the McGill Biology Department must guarantee a minimum annual level of funding per student that includes a basic stipend and tuition fees. The higher tuition fees for foreign students discourage McGill professors from recruiting them.
However, international PhD applicants who have an excellent academic record, have published in a peer-reviewed journal, and have recently graduated or are expecting to graduate with a Master's degree by the spring, may be eligible for an entrance scholarship. Closing date for applications is December 15.
