Bellow is some statistics about the salary information of McGill Postdocs. This is a snapshot of postdocs that were working at McGill in November 2022.
McGill divides it’s postdocs into several groups (See here). This data is based from McGill’s “Postdoctoral researchers – group C”. These are postdocs who are paid from grants that their supervisors secured. As opposed to postdocs who receive their own external scholarships (mostly tr-agency postdoctoral fellowships), or paid from another insutition, such as the RI-MUHC (not Mcgill).
Tri-agency postdoctoral fellowships are between 40,000 and 45,000$ per year. However, these fellowships are not subject to the same taxes and government deductions and results in a larged take home pay. The take home pay of a tri-agency postdoc is equivant to a group C postdoc earning between 52,000 and 57,000. Many tri-agency postdocs also receive a top-up amount from their supervisors grants.
