The University of Toronto invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher to join a research program focused on physics-based modeling and data-driven inference of exoplanets, with an emphasis on planetary interiors, atmospheres, and evolution. The postdoctoral researcher will be part of an international effort to develop next-generation computational frameworks that connect physical models with limited observations. Research topics may span a range of topics, including mitigation of stellar activity in M dwarf systems for transiting atmosphere studies, as well as planetary interiors and evolution across diverse regimes, focusing on small rocky planets and sub-Neptune-sized exoplanets.

Description of duties

  • Build and run physics-based models of exoplanet interiors and atmospheres, including linking structure, composition, and thermal evolution.
  • Design and execute large model grids and ensembles to explore how observable properties depend on underlying planetary parameters.
  • Develop and apply inference frameworks that connect models to data, extracting constraints from sparse, noisy, and heterogeneous observations.
  • Implement and maintain modular, well-documented code that can be extended by collaborators and reused across projects.
  • Work closely with observers to interpret current datasets (e.g., JWST) and to define model predictions that inform future observations.
  • Compare model outputs directly to data, identify mismatches, and iterate on models to improve physical realism and predictive power.
  • Contribute to team discussions, papers, and collaborative projects that bridge modeling and observation.

Required Qualifications

  • PhD in astrophysics, planetary science, or a related field.
  • Strong background in computational modeling and/or statistical inference, with demonstrated experience in scientific programming.
  • Experience with planetary interiors, atmospheric modeling, or related physical systems is highly desirable.
  • Familiarity with machine learning or emulator-based approaches for accelerating model evaluation is considered an asset.
  • Experience working with and managing large observational or simulated datasets, including data pipelines or analysis workflows.
  • Ability to work effectively in a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment.

Compensation

An annual salary of $80,000, plus benefits. Funds will be available for travel and other research expenses.

Please note that if the minimum rates stipulated in the collective agreement are higher than rates stated in this posting, the minimum rates stated in the collective agreement will take precedence.

À propos de l’Université Bishop’s

L’Université Bishop’s est une université anglophone, principalement axée sur les études de premier cycle, située dans la ville de Sherbrooke, dans les Cantons-de-l’Est, au Québec. Son campus de 550 acres offre aux étudiantes et étudiants un environnement chaleureux et à échelle humaine, marqué par une forte tradition d’éducation libérale et favorisant des interactions étroites entre les membres du corps professoral et la population étudiante.

L’Université Bishop’s est située sur le territoire traditionnel, ancestral et non cédé du peuple abénaquis, membre de la Confédération Wabanaki.

Le Département de physique et d’astronomie se distingue depuis longtemps par son expertise en Astrophysique et en Relativité, notamment grâce à ses deux chaires de recherche du Canada. Ces domaines figurent d’ailleurs parmi les priorités du plan de recherche stratégique de l’Université. Le Département offre un programme de premier cycle de haut niveau, une maîtrise en sciences, et prévoit le lancement prochain d’un programme de doctorat en astrophysique. Les professeures et professeurs du Département prennent part à d’importantes collaborations internationales, notamment avec le projet LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna), le NANOGrav (North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves), l’Observatoire Vera Rubin, le télescope Kepler, la mission Pandora, le télescope spatial James Webb (JWST) ainsi que la mission CASTOR (Cosmological Advanced Survey Telescope for Optical and UV Research).

L’Université Bishop’s entretient également des liens étroits avec l’Observatoire du Mont-Mégantic (OMM), situé tout près, au cœur de la réserve internationale de ciel étoilé du Mont-Mégantic. De nombreux instruments y sont conçus et testés sur le télescope de 1,6 mètre avant d’être déployés sur des télescopes de plus grande envergure, tels que le Gemini Planet Imager pour les observatoires Gemini, le Fine Guidance Sensor and Near Infrared Imager and Slitless Spectrograph (FGS-NIRISS) pour le JWST, ainsi que le Near-Infrared Planet Searcher (NIRPS) pour le télescope de 3,6 mètres de l’ESO.
