PhD Students
Faculty supervised 35 PhD students over the past year. As Perimeter
is not a degree-granting institution, doctoral students ultimately
receive their degrees from a partnering university where their faculty
supervisor has an affiliation. Perimeter’s rich environment offers
students unparalleled opportunities to interact with research leaders
from around the world and to develop further career opportunities.
Visiting Graduate Fellows
The newly-launched Visiting Graduate Fellows program brought
10 promising doctoral candidates from around the world to the
Institute for extended research visits in 2011/12. With stays
ranging from two months to nearly a year, Fellows are able to
join Perimeter’s research community and interact with leading
researchers at a pivotal time in their scientific training.
Undergraduate Research
Postdoctoral researchers develop mentoring skills by
supervising two- to four-month summer research projects
with undergraduates. Last summer, eight talented students
from around the world developed their research skills
while absorbing the rich variety of talks, conferences, and
happenings at Perimeter.
