About this position

The Acceleration Consortium at the University of Toronto is recruiting a Research Associate for its SDL1 group focused on Inorganic Materials. The appointment sits within the Consortium’s broader mission to advance self-driving laboratories that combine artificial intelligence, robotics, materials science, and high-throughput chemistry to accelerate discovery and technology development.

Working under the guidance of Staff Scientists and Senior Staff Scientists, the successful candidate will contribute to automated and high-throughput research on materials discovery and evaluation. The role centers on designing and executing experimental workflows that connect synthesis, processing, characterization, testing, and application-driven assessment, with a particular emphasis on inorganic materials.

The position involves building and refining autonomous research workflows with real-time monitoring, data acquisition, feedback, and reproducibility controls. The Research Associate will also analyze experimental datasets using computational, statistical, and AI/ML approaches, and help improve laboratory platforms, testing workflows, and characterization protocols to answer research questions and improve data quality.

Additional work includes designing and fabricating custom laboratory apparatus, fixtures, and devices, as well as developing research protocols, data-management practices, technical documentation, and best practices for high-throughput experimentation. The role is embedded in a multidisciplinary and international research environment at the Acceleration Consortium, a major University of Toronto initiative supported by a large Canadian research grant.

Funding details

Grant-funded full-time Research Associate appointment for a 2-year term within the Acceleration Consortium, supported by a $200M Canadian First Research Excellence Grant over seven years.
