The individual we want to hire has not yet received his/her PhD. Can he/she be hired as a Postdoctoral Fellow?
• A job offer as a Postdoc can be made contingent upon the individual being awarded the PhD degree. Normally CIC will require proof of the postdoc’s PhD, which means the degree should have been awarded by the time they apply for a work permit. Please contact Faculty Relations to discuss additional wording that should be added to the LOI and the Letter of Offer for such cases.
