About this position
Trottier Space Institute (TSI) Postdoctoral Fellow positions are available at McGill University for researchers working across the Institute’s interdisciplinary space-science mission.
TSI brings together 17 affiliated faculty members from McGill’s Departments of Physics, Earth & Planetary Sciences, and Atmospheric & Oceanic Sciences. The fellowships are designed to be tailored to the successful applicants’ research interests, with appointments available in any TSI-affiliated department and research group.
The institute’s research themes span astrophysics, cosmology, astrobiology, geophysics, life in extreme environments, and the search for extraterrestrial biosignatures. Fellows may contribute through theoretical, observational, experimental, or computational work, and are expected to connect their plans with research currently being pursued by faculty members at McGill.
Successful applicants will work within the research group(s) of one or more McGill faculty members in a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment that spans planetary and space sciences. Applicants are encouraged to contact potential supervisors in advance to explore research fit.
The position is explicitly open to multiple fellows, reflecting the breadth of research areas at TSI and the range of projects that can be supported within the institute.
The appointment includes a competitive salary and benefits, with an initial two-year term and the possibility of a third year subject to supervisor approval and available funds.
