Graduate Student Positions
A funded position is available for joining the group as a MSc or PhD student, IMMEDIATELY (2024), for computational work (quantum chemistry on classical computers and on quantum computers, distributed computing). Students interested in experimental work are also welcome to inquire, but the availability of a funded experimental research position is pending at this time. In all cases, applications need to go through the chemistry graduate department of the University of Toronto, see: http://www.chem.utoronto.ca/grad/programs.php Note that for international applicants, there is normally one application deadline per year. There is more flexibility for applicants who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents (domestic applicants).
Postdoctoral Positions
A funded position is available for joining the group as a postdoc, IMMEDIATELY (2024), for computational work (quantum chemistry on classical computers and on quantum computers, distributed computing). (e-mail to Ulrich Fekl, indicate 'quantum computing postdoc' in the e-mail subject line). Those interested in experimental work as a postdoc need to provide their own funding at this time (for example, Banting, see below).
Banting Opportunity
Outstanding candidates, within 3 years of their PhD (PhD awarded after September 20, 2021) are encouraged to apply for a prestigious and well-paid Banting fellowship, which may be a stepping stone to a professorship. contact Ulrich Fekl directly by e-mail, before June 30, 2024. See information at http://banting.fellowships-bourses.gc.ca/ The definition of "outstanding candidate" encompasses the following:
- Proven first-rate track record in chemistry, typically demonstrated in at least three first-author journal articles in excellent journals (J. Am. Chem. Soc., Angewandte, etc)
- The ability to write a strong research proposal in a short period of time
- The ability to obtain three extremely strong letters, from three well-known experts
- Ranking, in overall accomplishment, among the top 5 % of postdoctoral candidates
