What is an Indigenous postdoc?

Indigenous Postdocs are early-career scholars who have completed their doctoral studies and are engaged in postdoctoral research, teaching, or professional development, with a focus on Indigenous knowledge, communities, or issues. These positions are often designed to support Indigenous scholars and promote Indigenous perspectives in academia. Indigenous Postdocs may work in a variety of settings, including universities, research institutes, or community organizations, and may also involve mentorship and community engagement. The goal is to foster Indigenous scholarship, build research capacity, and contribute to reconciliation and decolonization efforts within academia.
