Applications for the 2027 TSI Postdoctoral Fellowships are now open!

TSI is an interdisciplinary research centre within McGill University consisting of 17 affiliated faculty members from the Departments of Physics, Earth & Planetary Sciences, and Atmospheric & Oceanic Sciences at McGill (https://tsi.mcgill.ca/index.php?page=faculty). Research topics include (but are not limited to) astrophysics, cosmology, astrobiology, geophysics, life in extreme environments, and the search for extraterrestrial biosignatures.

We anticipate offering multiple positions tailored to the successful applicants research interests. TSI Fellowships can be held at any TSI-affiliated department by researchers who specialize in any of the above areas or some interdisciplinary combination thereof. The successful applicant will have a background in either theoretical, observational, experimental, or computational research in any of the TSI’s research areas. Postdoctoral fellows will work within the research group(s) of one or more faculty members at McGill. Applicants are strongly recommended to contact potential supervisors ahead of time; while not strictly required,



most successful candidates in the past have done so.

This position offers a competitive salary and perks, and will be for two years with a possible renewal for a third year, dependent on supervisor approval and the availability of funds. Preference is given to applicants within 3 years of the PhD.

All application materials, including letters of recommendation, must be received by the deadline of December 1, 2026.

We expect to make first-round offers and to notify the waitlist by mid January. Later-round offers will be made after the new year through mid-February.

McGill University is committed to diversity and equity within its community. We welcome applications from: women, Indigenous persons, persons with disabilities, racialized people/visible minorities, ethnic minorities, 2SLGBTQIA* people (sexual orientation and/or gender identity minorities), and others who may contribute to diversification.
