Applications for PhD and Postdoc positions

If you are interested in working with us as a PhD student or postdoc, please send me an email. State briefly why you are interested and attach a CV and an undergraduate transcript. No need for a separate cover letter or certificates. Important: please include “PhD Application” or “Postdoc Application” in the subject line.

Fellowship opportunities

Canada and Québec have generous fellowship programs for PhD students and postdocs. The information can be found here and here for PhD students and here and here for postdocs. Important: if you wish to apply for a fellowship, please contact me before the end June at the latest, because time is required to prepare a package and you must (in many cases) be internally selected from the institutional quota.
