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

Up to two postdoctoral research appointments in applied mathematics are expected to start in spring or summer 2027. The initial one-year term may renew for a further year, with a starting salary of CAD 70,000 and possible additional paid teaching. Research areas include scientific computing, mathematical physics, geophysical fluid dynamics, dynamical systems, mathematical biology and scientific machine learning. Applicants should identify prospective faculty supervisors and submit a cover letter, CV, one-page research statement and three references. The stated application deadline is 20 Novemb

Postdoctoral fellowships for recent PhDs pursuing independent research in fundamental theoretical physics. 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.
