CSEP recognizes the unique position of postdoctoral fellows and research staff who are either transitioning from student roles to academic careers or working as research staff in Kinesiology related laboratories. To support these important roles, we’ve introduced the “CSEP Postdoctoral Fellow & Research Staff” membership category.

As a member of this category, you will have access to member only benefits, industry recognition and CSEP event opportunities. Whether you’re involved in research or focusing on your next academic opportunity, being a part of CSEP offers a platform for networking, growth, amplifying the findings of your research, contributing to advancing the interests of the profession, and staying updated with the latest in exercise science.

Pre-Requisites:

CSEP Postdoctoral and Research Fellows include those holding graduate degrees (MSc/PhD) who are working in a research capacity but not formally employed as a Professor, Assistant Professor or Associate Professor.  Those employed as a Professor (full, assistant or associate) should register as a CSEP Academic member.

*You may hold both a CSEP postdoctoral fellow and research staff  and professional membership, but renewing your postdoctoral fellow and research staff  membership does not renew your professional membership. Professional membership must be maintained to keep your certification active.
