The Centre for Planetary Sciences (CPS) at the University of Toronto is
a centre for the study of all planets, near and far (see
http://cps.utoronto.ca/ for details). The CPS expects to offer several
postdoctoral fellowships of up to three years. The starting date will
be September 1, 2014. Salaries and funds for travel/research expenses
will be competitive. A Ph.D. in any field of earth and planetary
sciences or astrophysics is required. Fellows are expected to carry out
original research in observational or theoretical planetary/exoplanet
science under the general supervision of the permanent CPS-affiliated
faculty, from several relevant departments at UofT.
We only accept electronic submissions (via email at
[email protected]). Applicants will be asked to submit a
curriculum vitae, statement of research interests (3 pages) and arrange
for three letters of recommendation. The deadline for applications and
all letters of recommendation is December 1, 2013.
The University of Toronto is strongly committed to diversity within its
community and especially welcomes applications from visible minority
group members, women, Aboriginal persons, persons with disabilities,
members of sexual minority groups, and others who may contribute to the
further diversification of ideas.
Note: CPS postdoctoral fellows will share their time between the
Scarborough and St George (downtown) campuses and they will have offices
on both campuses.
