About this position

McGill University in Montreal, Canada is inviting applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow in plastic pollution and advanced water treatment through the Biocolloids Laboratory.

The project sits at the intersection of microplastics and nanoplastics, polymer and colloid science, environmental science, analytical chemistry, and materials science. Research topics include microplastics/nanoplastics in environmental systems, plastic additives and contaminant interactions, sustainable low-cost water treatment technologies, and advanced material design for environmental applications.

The ideal candidate has expertise in one or more of microplastics/nanoplastics, environmental or water science, or polymer/colloid science. Experience in polymer characterization, analytical chemistry, and colloid characterization techniques is preferred. The post also values a strong publication record, scientific writing ability, independence, and the ability to mentor students.

The fellowship is for up to 3 years, depending on performance and funding. The post mentions access to state-of-the-art facilities and a collaborative research environment, but does not specify a stipend amount.

To apply, email [email protected] with a cover letter, academic CV, and three references, using the subject line Postdoc Plastic Pollution. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, so early submission is recommended.
