Smith Engineering at Queen's University in Canada is recruiting graduate students and postdoctoral fellows for fully funded positions in a wide range of engineering research areas. Opportunities are available for Master's, PhD, and Postdoc candidates to join projects in AI, biomedical engineering, batteries, carbon conversion, fluid dynamics, high performance computing, human factors, power electronics, polymers, robotics, sensors, smart mining, software engineering, and water engineering. The faculty comprises over 125 members and supports more than 600 graduate students, fostering a collaborative and multidisciplinary research environment. Research topics include AI-aided virtual cell modeling, agentic AI, multimodal foundation models, microsensing technologies for pathogen detection, organ-on-a-chip and microfluidics for biomedical applications, and intelligent robotic platforms for healthy aging. Supervisors such as Dr. Zhixing Cao, Il-Min Kim, Ali Etemad, Yong Jun Lai, Carlos Escobedo, Peter Davies, Matthew Pan, and Amy Wu lead projects across departments including Chemical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Biomedical and Molecular Sciences. All full-time research graduate students are guaranteed funding for the standard degree duration (2 years for Master's, 4 years for PhD), provided they remain in good standing. Stipends are competitive, and some positions offer special funding. The program values diversity and encourages applications from equity-seeking groups. Applicants should have strong academic backgrounds in relevant fields, research experience, programming skills, and a passion for multidisciplinary research. Specific requirements vary by project and may include experience in microfluidics, device fabrication, machine learning, or clinical practice. To apply, candidates should contact project supervisors directly by email, submitting a CV, cover letter, and transcripts. Some positions require filling out an online form. The application deadline for certain positions is February 27, 2026, but many projects have flexible start dates and ongoing recruitment.
