About this position
Queen’s University and the Arthur B. McDonald Canadian Astroparticle Physics Research Institute are offering postdoctoral fellowship opportunities in the High Energy and Astroparticle Theory group. The fellowship sits at the intersection of astroparticle theory, particle phenomenology, cosmology, the astrophysics of dark matter, and high-energy theory, with a start date in the 2027-2028 academic year.
Successful fellows will join a research environment that includes faculty Joseph Bramante and Aaron Vincent along with other postdoctoral fellows. The position emphasizes independent theoretical research and collaboration with astroparticle experimentalists and astrophysicists at Queen’s University, making it a strong fit for candidates who want to work across particle physics, cosmology, and astroparticle astrophysics.
The fellowship is associated with the McDonald Institute and the MI-CITA Theory Fellowship program, and it forms part of Queen’s broader research activity in astroparticle physics. The appointment is for three years, with the possibility of renewal after the second year. The advert notes that successful NSERC applicants will be supplemented by the McDonald Institute.
