Name: Maria Mangos on Mar 10, 2010Comments: Hardly a fair resolution of the post-doc taxation issue by our government. This ruling only removes any remaining rights we have as trainees rather than employees. What about access to services for us such as EI, CPP etc. Shameful.Flag

Name: Brad Davis on Mar 10, 2010Comments: Postdocs play an important role both in contributing to research, and contributing to teaching undergraduate and graduate students. Instead of creating a number small number of very well funded elite-postdoctoral positions, I feel we would be better suited to allocating those funds to having a total greater number of funded postdoc positions, while potentially increasing the base salary for postdoctoral fellows to $45,000 / year. It may also be a good idea to consider allowances for differences in cost of between different cities in Canada, similar to the Marie Curie program in Europe.Flag

Name: Scott Crawley on Mar 10, 2010Comments: The Canadian government just doesn't get it. $70K fellowships that are not even open to Canadian trained PhDs??? Is this where I want my tax money going??? First off, no post doc needs to earn 70K when their peers are only earning 37-45K. That's just ridiculous.Flag

Name: Anonymous on Mar 10, 2010Comments: It is ridiculous to make $70K postdoctoral awards available to foreign trained scholars but not to Canadian PhDs. Do other countries invest their tax dollars solely in providing for foreigners? When will the Canadian government realize that it needs to invest in and *protect* Canadian-trained PhDs for whom it has already invested years of money instead of accepting colonial ideas that foreigners are better than us. It's a shame and it's a waste of hard-earned tax dollars paid by Canadian citizens that should go towards the futures of Canadian scholars instead.Flag

Name: Mathieu Houde on Mar 10, 2010Comments: The lack of political leadership regarding post-doctoral fellowships in Canada in recent years has been troubling. Having PDF pays income taxes correspond to a 20%+ salary cut. I am sure there are no other jobs that have suffered from such a salary downgrade in our country. After 4 to 6 years of Ph.D, doing a post-doctoral fellowship for a meager 30,000$ net income, with the very slim hope of gaining access to a professor position after 4 to 5 years? No thanks. The risk is not worth it, and it would be just better for people to reorient their career in another field.Flag

Name: Alex on Mar 10, 2010Comments: It seems quite embarassing that Postdocs will be taxed when they are working very hard (+8 hours per day) and receive the lowest income (<40K) and at the same time they had no access to the employment benefits. If authorities would like to change people's imagination about science and research and absort the best minds in the world, they have to change their attitude towards Postdocs and Research Associates. It does not mean anything at all that a postdoc earns less that a PhD student if TAX issue applies.Flag

Name: Matthew Milner on Mar 10, 2010Comments: The issue is not so much taxation, but complete oversight of the complexities of PDF financing. What is even more appauling is that they're paying for the new program off of the tax income they'll get from existing PDFs.Flag
