The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) is inviting applications for a postdoctoral fellowship. This two-year, full-time position is open to researchers with interests in partial differential equations (PDEs), reaction-diffusion systems, and their applications in mathematical ecology and mathematical biology. The successful candidate will collaborate on research projects with Dr. Mohammad El Smaily and Dr. Chunyi Gai, contributing to a vibrant academic community that values collaboration, equity, and intellectual curiosity.

The fellowship includes a teaching component, requiring the postdoctoral fellow to teach two courses per year. Applicants should hold a PhD or equivalent degree, or expect to receive one before July 1, 2026. Preference is given to those who obtained their PhD in 2023 or later, but candidates with earlier degrees are encouraged to explain their career trajectory and any interruptions.
