Position Description

The Waterloo Centre for Astrophysics (WCA) at the University of Waterloo invites applications for two 3-year WCA Postdoctoral Fellowships. Although these positions are open to researchers in any area in astrophysics, we are particularly interested in candidates who will strengthen existing research areas.

The WCA (https://uwaterloo.ca/astrophysics-centre/) consists of 11 research-active faculty, 14 postdoctoral researchers and 40 graduate students. Research is undertaken in areas including cosmology, large-scale structure, gravitational lensing, clusters, galaxies, galactic dynamics, black holes, gravitational wave astronomy, and exo-planets, with membership of a number of ongoing and future experiments including DESI, EHT, Euclid, Roman, Rubin/LSST and UNIONS. The group has a close connection to the Perimeter Institute, which is located just a short walk away.

A competitive salary and research allowance will be provided, and researchers will be able to access additional funding for visitors and hosting meetings. Candidates should apply through Academic Jobs Online: 28833 (https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/28833).

Candidates with interests in theoretical astrophysics are also encouraged to apply for a CITA National Fellowship to bring to Waterloo (https://aas.org/jobregister/ad/b0dc851b, deadline Nov 4).

The University of Waterloo regards diversity as an integral part of academic excellence and is committed to employment equity and accessibility for all employees. As such, we encourage applications from women, Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, members of diverse gender identities, and others who may contribute to the further diversification of ideas.
