Funded Research Opportunities

As part of the University of Calgary’s commitment to graduate research and training, the Department of Political Science highlights faculty-led, funded research projects that enable graduate students to contribute directly to active, grant-supported research programs.

These opportunities may also include additional funding on top of the minimum guaranteed amount and, in some cases, can reduce other graduate work requirements (such as teaching assistantships) so that students may devote more time to research and scholarly development.

Each listing below includes a project description, who can apply, and any preferred skills or research interests. Admission to the MA or PhD program is required to participate in these opportunities.
