Call for Applications: CIFAR Radical Interdisciplinarity: One Health Convening

29 September 2026

CIFAR is seeking applications to it’s upcoming conference: Radical Interdisciplinarity: One Health held in partnership with the Swiss National Science Foundation. This event take place in Lucerne, Switzerland, on March 2-3, 2027. Interested applicants must be within 10 years of receiving their PhD and hold a postdoctoral or faculty position based in Canada or Switzerland.

Radical Interdisciplinarity starts with the same basic premise that underpins all of CIFAR’s programs: the most interesting research questions necessitate an interdisciplinary approach to unpack and make progress toward. Through roundtable discussions and collaborative sessions, the convening will explore One Health through the lens of complex challenges, emerging research horizons, and unique avenues of inquiry. The convening will bring together together a highly diverse group of thinkers across disciplines, and by engaging with early-career researchers, we will actively involve the next generation in shaping future research directions.

Participants outside these jurisdictions who meet the career-stage criteria and who have previously participated in a CIFAR program may also apply.
