Killam Research Fellowships provide support to scholars of exceptional ability for major research projects with broad significance and widespread interest. The scheme is designed to give recipients time to pursue advanced research across a wide disciplinary range. The fellowship is open to work in the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, health sciences, engineering, and interdisciplinary studies that link these fields. It is therefore suited to researchers developing ambitious project...

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...
