2027 Data, Instrumentation, and Astrophysical Research Postdoctoral Fellowship Université de Montréal in Canada

The Dunlap Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of Toronto is inviting applications for the Dunlap Postdoctoral Fellowships, a research-focused postdoctoral opportunity in astronomy and astrophysics. Fellows are expected to pursue an original research programme, independently or in collaboration with researchers at the University of Toronto, with emphasis on innovative work in instrumentation, software, and/or observations. The fellowships are embedded in a strong astronomy...

Canadian SKA Scientist Program — postdoctoral positions in astronomy and astrophysics at Canadian universities. The Herzberg Astronomy and Astrophysics Research Centre, National Research Council of Canada, is funding up to two fixed-term positions in 2026 for early-career researchers to conduct independent research and contribute directly to SKA science . The program supports work on the Square Kilometre Array and its pathfinders, with a strong emphasis on innovative instrumentation, technology,...

University of Victoria is recruiting MSc students for a new research group in astronomy focused on discovering and characterizing exoplanets. The project combines Gaia astrometry , high-contrast imaging , and related techniques such as radial velocities and transits to detect new planets and measure their properties. The research spans several interconnected themes: statistical inference at scale, planet population studies, joint orbit modelling across multiple observing methods, and follow-up i...
