The University of Toronto <https://www.utoronto.ca/> invites applications
for Dunlap Postdoctoral Fellowships within the Dunlap Institute for
Astronomy and Astrophysics <http://www.dunlap.utoronto.ca/>. The Dunlap
Institute pursues innovative instrumentation, technology and observational
research to advance our understanding of the Universe, in close
collaboration with Toronto colleagues in the David A. Dunlap Department of
Astronomy and Astrophysics <http://www.astro.utoronto.ca/> (DADDAA) and in
the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics
<http://www.cita.utoronto.ca/> (CITA).

Dunlap Fellows are expected to conduct a program of original research
either independently or in collaboration with others at the University of
Toronto, and will be offered professional development and mentoring across
a range of topics relevant to a scientific career. Candidates will be
selected on the basis of potential for innovative research in
instrumentation, software, or observations, and on synergy with existing
activities within the Dunlap Institute. (Potential for innovative research
can be established through past accomplishments, future plans,
publications, reference letters, or any combination thereof.)

Dunlap Fellows have access to laboratories, computing clusters and
fabrication facilities, and can propose for additional internal support for
their experimental or computational plans. Dunlap Fellows are also
encouraged to participate in the Institute's outreach and training
initiatives. The range of activities and opportunities in research,
outreach and training can be seen on the Dunlap Institute’s web site.

The Dunlap Institute, DADDAA and CITA together host more than 150 staff and
students in astronomy, who conduct a diverse research program across
instrumentation, observation, computation and theory. The Dunlap Institute
is located on a beautiful 19th century campus in the heart of one of the
world’s great cities. Rated as having one of the highest standards of
living in the world, Toronto offers a huge range of indoor and outdoor
pursuits, outstanding food and music, and a vibrant and diverse cultural
community.

The Dunlap Institute is committed to an inclusive and flexible workplace.
We encourage applications from qualified applicants of all sexual
orientations and gender expressions, racialized people, Indigenous peoples,
persons with disabilities, and potential dual-academic-career hires.
Subject to immigration regulations, successful candidates will be given the
option to take up their Fellowships as part-time appointments (such a
request need not be made as part of a candidate's initial application and

salary of CAD $71,463 plus generous benefits
<https://www.cupe3902.org/unit-5/benefits/>, a research allowance of CAD

additional research funds from the Dunlap Institute.
