Master’s Opportunities in Canada

The Polar Remote Sensing Research Group at McGill University is recruiting at least one MSc student and one PhD student for the Fall 2027 intake. The project focuses on radar remote sensing of Arctic sea ice using multi-frequency synthetic aperture radar (SAR) . Students will investigate Arctic sea-ice conditions through radar-based remote sensing, contributing to polar observation and the interpretation of multi-frequency SAR data. The work is based in Dr. Mallik Mahmud’s lab within the Polar R...

The Smart Building Materials Lab in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Calgary is offering fully funded master's and PhD research positions in sustainable building materials. The research focuses on developing and applying low-carbon construction materials, advancing sustainable manufacturing, and supporting circular construction approaches. The positions also involve AI-enabled sensing and materials science, creating an interdisciplinary research environment at the interse...

The Olden Lab in the Department of Forest and Conservation Sciences at the University of British Columbia is offering funded MSc and PhD opportunities in freshwater science in Vancouver, Canada. The positions focus on major freshwater research challenges, including freshwater conservation , climate change, sustainable water management, biodiversity, environmental DNA (eDNA), and machine learning. Students will be able to develop research connected to the conservation and management of freshwater...

This fully funded master’s opportunity is based in the Remote Sensing & AI Lab within the Department of Geography at the University of Victoria in Canada. The research focuses on mapping wildfire severity by combining satellite time-series data with LiDAR forest-structure data. The project offers training and research experience in remote sensing, geospatial analysis, GIS, wildfire science, environmental monitoring, and artificial intelligence. Students will investigate how Earth-observation dat...

McGill University is recruiting applicants for fully funded MSc, PhD, and postdoctoral positions in metal additive manufacturing through the Laboratory for Powder Processing and Additive Manufacturing of Advanced Materials (P²AM²) . The openings focus on metal 3D printing and the development of advanced materials for additive manufacturing. Research areas include laser powder bed fusion process optimization, alloy development, and relationships between powder-processing conditions and material p...

University of Victoria is recruiting MSc students for a new research group in astronomy focused on discovering and characterizing exoplanets. The project combines Gaia astrometry , high-contrast imaging , and related techniques such as radial velocities and transits to detect new planets and measure their properties. The research spans several interconnected themes: statistical inference at scale, planet population studies, joint orbit modelling across multiple observing methods, and follow-up i...

Memorial University’s Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, is recruiting one potentially two Master’s students, one potentially two PhD students, and one postdoctoral fellow to join a new research group in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Anticipated start dates are January, May, or September 2027. The research focuses on improving community resilience and reducing risks to buried infrastructure from natural hazards. Projects investigate interactions bet...

Bernhard Payer’s laboratory at CHU Sainte-Justine and Université de Montréal is recruiting motivated postdoctoral researchers, PhD students, and MSc students in Montreal, Canada. The team investigates the intersection of epigenetics and reproduction, with research topics including X-chromosome inactivation, pluripotency, stem cell biology, oogenesis, and stem cell-derived in vitro gametogenesis. These projects are relevant to developmental biology, reproductive biology, and maternal and child he...
