The "top" postdocs in Canadian are awarded 40,000 CAD/year by the government. It costs 45% of that salary to rent a 1-bedroom in Toronto.
The government announced yesterday that it's not increasing our funding.
"For over two decades, these critical contributors to research and innovation have received no funding increase from the federal government and now face significant financial challenges." - #SupportOurScience
I hear you. It takes ~80% of an assistant professor's salary in Cambridge, UK, to rent a 4-bedroom house in town. The situation for postdocs is of course even worse. Untenable.
