What Is the Killam Fellowship?
Established through the legacy of Dorothy Johnston Killam in memory of her husband, Izaak Walton Killam, the Killam Scholarship and Prize Programmes are a cornerstone of Canadian research excellence. They aim to support top-tier postdoctoral researchers who show extraordinary promise in their fields — and also exhibit exceptional character and well-rounded intellect.
