PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Information Technology in Canada

The Montreal Neurological Institute (the Neuro) at McGill University is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for a data-driven project at the intersection of body–brain interactions, heart disease and neurodegeneration. The research will develop and apply machine-learning and counterfactual-analysis approaches to biological and contextual data. The work is designed to investigate relationships between bodily health and brain function, with applications to heart diseases and neurodegenerative con...

The Pouladi Laboratory in the Department of Medical Genetics at The University of British Columbia is seeking a full-time Research Associate at the UBC Hospital Site in Vancouver. Reporting to Dr. Mahmoud Pouladi, the researcher will investigate the biology and treatment of genetic neurological disorders using complementary mouse and human pluripotent stem cell models. The project will involve developing and analyzing novel disease models, examining brain-development defects, and conducting prec...

The research group of Cunlu Zhou at the Université de Sherbrooke is recruiting for multiple postdoctoral positions at the intersection of quantum computing and artificial intelligence . The work spans theoretical foundations, algorithms, and practical tools aimed at understanding and harnessing quantum computing, with connections to quantum hardware and a flexible research agenda that allows successful candidates to develop original ideas within the broader program. The positions are based in th...

The Heterogeneous Embedded Systems Lab (HESL) at École Polytechnique de Montréal is recruiting one fully funded PhD student and one fully funded MSc research student for a collaborative project at the intersection of real-time operating systems, cybersecurity, embedded systems and avionics . The project focuses on advancing the security, reliability and integration of next-generation avionics systems for safety-critical aerospace applications. Students will work on research involving real-time s...

Concordia University in Canada is seeking two highly motivated PhD students to advance research on Scan-to-BIM-to-Digital Twin and uncertainty-aware methods for climate-resilient infrastructure systems. Under the supervision of Dr. Chih-Shen (Stephen) Cheng , students will work at the intersection of sensing, artificial intelligence, flood modeling, and uncertainty quantification. The research will support the assessment of flood impacts on buildings and power infrastructure and help facilitate ...

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 con...

The Victoria University Research Fellowship program is a recurring fellowship scheme designed to support, promote, and progress outstanding research. This opportunity is framed around innovative and strategically aligned research, rather than a single project topic. The advert presents it as part of Victoria University’s broader research-fellowship offering, with applications directed through the university’s research fellows page. The scheme is positioned for postdoctoral-level researchers seek...

This fully funded PhD opportunity is based in the Okanagan Computational Fluid Dynamics Laboratory within the School of Engineering at the University of British Columbia Okanagan in Canada. The project investigates the computational modelling of electrical-transformer thermal behaviour. The doctoral researcher will study overheating, cooling, thermal hotspots and waste-heat recovery, using computational fluid dynamics, mathematical modelling and numerical simulation to understand and improve tra...

Multiple postdoctoral opportunities are available in Canada through industry-partnered cybersecurity projects at Concordia University and the University of Ottawa. The projects address the security of telecommunications, connected devices, and security operations, with opportunities to work on applied problems in collaboration with industry partners. Project 1: Securing Telecommunication Networks This project focuses on network security and cloud security, including agentic security solutions. K...
