Areas include quantum matter, cosmology, quantum fields and strings, mathematical physics, quantum foundations, gravity, quantum information and particle physics, including intersections with AI. Fellows receive research and travel support, health coverage and mentoring; some appointments may be shared with partner institutions. Starting annual salary is CAD 79,000. Review begins on 6 November 2026 and applications continue until positions are filled.
In Physics and Theoretical Physics
Perimeter invites new and recent PhDs in fundamental theoretical physics to pursue independent research in its interdisciplinary Waterloo community. Research areas span cosmology, mathematical physics, particle physics, quantum fields, gravity, quantum information and quantum matter. Support includes research and travel funding, healthcare, visiting collaborators and mentoring. Joint fellowships with partner institutions may be available. Submit a CV, publication list, research statement and at least three recommendation letters through AcademicJobsOnline. The application listing gives Novembe
Three two-year postdoctoral positions investigate the origins of irreversible behaviour through mathematical physics, theoretical physics and the history of physics. Topics include entropy, randomness, statistical mechanics, gravitational and holographic systems, and the historical development of chaos. Researchers join the Radboud Center for Natural Philosophy and collaborate across disciplines. The full-time gross monthly salary is EUR 3,706–5,760, according to experience. Apply by 14 October 2026 with a motivation letter, CV/publications, three referees and the position or positions sought.
