The University of British Columbia - The Outer Space Institute
The Outer Space Institute (OSI) is inviting applications for two post-doctoral research fellowships in the field of space security, broadly defined.
The OSI is a network of world-leading space experts united by their commitment to highly innovative, transdisciplinary research that addresses grand challenges facing the continued use and exploration of space. Comprised of physical scientists, social scientists, lawyers, engineers, industry leaders, and policy makers, the OSI seeks to identify problems and solutions that have been overlooked by other groups.
The two post-doc fellowships provide the same degree of support as top Canadian post-doctoral fellowships: CAD$70,000 per year (taxable). They are for 2 years, with the possibility of a short extension. Additional funds will be available for travel and research.
The positions will be based in the Department of Political Science at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, but the research will be transdisciplinary and candidates from all backgrounds are encouraged to apply, including but not limited to engineering and physical sciences, law, and social sciences. A PhD or equivalent postgraduate degree is generally required, though candidates with relevant professional experience will also be considered.
The post-doctoral fellows will work with Professors Michael Byers (Department of Political Science) and Aaron Boley (Department of Physics and Astronomy) on research in the field of space security, broadly defined to include safety and sustainability. They will also have time to pursue their own research interests. Our intent is to help launch promising young scholars into highly successful careers.
How to Apply Interested applicants should send the following to Andrew Falle (he/him), Research Coordinator, Outer Space Institute, at: coord@outerspaceinstitute.ca.
