Each year, IREx professors hire new students to do a master’s degree (M.Sc.) or a doctorate (Ph.D.) in the field of exoplanets at the Université de Montréal or one of the other home universities of the regular IREx members (McGill University and Bishop’s University).
The Trottier Institute for Research on Exoplanets (IREx) consists of a growing team of 60+ researchers (professors, postdocs, research assistants and students) working on various research programs focused on the study of exoplanets and related fields of stellar astrophysics. Members of IREx lead many large international projects related to the detection and characterisation of exoplanets, such as the Canadian component of James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and precision radial velocity instruments SPIRou and NIRPS.
IREx also has a vibrant science education and public outreach program led by astrophysicists who are seasoned science communicators. All of our members have many opportunities to communicate science in various ways to a wide audience.
