Two McGill University professors are among 14 Canadian researchers who were awarded Killam Research Fellowships on March 3, 2005.

McGill East Asian studies professor Kenneth Dean will study regional ritual networks in Southeast China, while physics professor Clifford Burgess will study string cosmology.

Killam Research Fellowships enable Canada's best scientists and scholars to devote two years to full-time research and writing. The recipients are chosen by the Killam Selection Committee, which comprises 14 eminent scientists and scholars representing a broad range of disciplines.

Among Canada's most distinguished research awards, the Killam Research Fellowships are administered by the Canada Council for the Arts. The Killam awards are made possible by a bequest of the late Dorothy J. Killam. The awards support scholars engaged in research projects of outstanding merit in the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, health sciences, engineering and interdisciplinary studies within these fields.
