In 1962 Paldus was awarded a National Research Council of Canada Postdoctoral Fellowship and joined the Division of Pure Physics at NRC to work in the Larger Molecules Section (LMS) under the supervision of Dr. D. A. Ramsay. This was just at the time when new, high resolution spectrographs were being obtained at LMS and computers were beginning to help with the analysis of complex molecular spectra. Aided by these new tools, Paldus embarked on an analysis of the vibrational and rotational fine structure of glyoxal electronic spectra. 

Received June 22, 1961. Work conducted during P. J. Owens tenure of a National Research Council Postgraduate Fellowship, 1959-1961. 

Here is another example. I recently reviewed proposals in the National Research Council/Ford Foundation predoctoral minority fellowship program. Several applicants were ACS Scholars. So that program will make a difference in changing the numbers.

Simone J. Rochfort completed her Ph.D. in marine natural products chemistry at the University of Melbourne in 1996. After a postdoctoral fellowship with Dr. Jeffrey Wright, National Research Council of Canada, she returned to Australia to take up a research position with AstraZeneca R D Griffith University where she worked on the discovery of natural products for human pharmaceuticals. Dr. Rochfort s research in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries continued until 2004 when she joined the Victorian Department of Primary Industries. She is currently employed as a Principal Research Scientist and applies her natural products research interests to metabolomics and the substantiation of functional foods.

Our investigations in this field are receiving generous support from the J. P. Bickell Foundation. We are grateful also to the National Research Council of Canada for providing valuable equipment. One of us (G.E.C.) has held a Studentship of The National Research Council of Canada and one of us (G.H.D.) has held a Fellowship of the Research Council of Ontario and a Scholarship of the Agriculture Research Council of the United Kingdom. 

Close to the end of his term there, I moved from Jiilich to Imperial College London, and was about to initiate a prestigious fellowship for Michael to bring him to our Department of Chemistry. However, at that time, Michael received a very attractive offer of assistant professorship at Simon Fraser University, combined with a senior researcher position at the newly created Institute for Fuel Cell Innovation of the Canadian National Research Council (NRC). I strongly recommended him to accept this position straightaway.
