Postdoctoral research scholar appointments provide additional training after a doctoral degree and are normally appointed within one year of receiving their degree in the humanities and social sciences unless they have documented evidence of circumstances such as leaves or substantial career change.

Associate research scholars are junior officers whose qualifications and contributions to their fields of research are equivalent to those of an assistant professor. They must hold a doctoral degree or its professional equivalent and perform independent research in the area of their training.
