Postdoctoral Fellowship in Water Treatment, Microplastics, and Advanced Materials at McGill University McGill University in Canada

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

The project is centered on environmentally relevant research topics including microplastics and nanoplastics removal, polymer and colloid science in environmental systems, plastic additives and contaminant interactions, and the development of low-cost, sustainable treatment technologies. This is a strong fit for candidates interested in environmental engineering, chemical engineering, materials science, and chemistry-related analytical work.

Ideal applicants should have a background in water treatment, environmental engineering, microplastics or environmental water science, or polymer/colloid science. Experience with polymer and colloid characterization, analytical chemistry techniques, scientific writing, and publication is preferred. The role also expects the ability to conduct independent research, mentor students, and contribute to high-impact journal publications.

The position starts in June 2026 or later and may last up to 3 years, depending on performance and funding. No stipend amount is stated in the post.

To apply, email [email protected] with the subject line Postdoc Water Treatment. Include a cover letter, academic CV, and a list of 3 references. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.
