About this position

The Winnipeg Particle Theory Group at the University of Winnipeg is offering a three-year McDonald Institute Theory Fellowship in particle cosmology. The fellow will work with Prof. Evan McDonough and Prof. Andrew Frey in the Department of Physics and take part in the research and seminar life of the Winnipeg Particle Theory Group and the Winnipeg Institute of Theoretical Physics.

The group’s research spans early-universe model building, observables of early-universe physics, and string theory model building. In particular, the fellowship sits within topics such as dark matter, dark energy, baryogenesis, inflation, the cosmic microwave background, gravitational waves, and large-scale structure. The post is positioned as an active role in the group’s scientific activity, including leadership of high-profile projects and engagement with students across undergraduate, MSc, and PhD levels.

The supervisors are embedded in a vibrant theoretical physics environment at the University of Winnipeg. Evan McDonough serves as Director of the Winnipeg Institute for Theoretical Physics, and Andrew Frey is a Professor and former Director of the same institute. The advert emphasizes collaborative research, regular seminars, and opportunities for professional development within a supportive particle theory community.

The fellowship is linked to the McDonald Institute and the successful candidate’s work is expected to connect clearly to the institute’s research areas and the group’s particle cosmology interests.
