4. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
The Schulich School of Engineering at the University of Calgary is accepting applications for one (1) Postdoctoral Scholar focusing on building a Canadian energy system optimization model using the TEMOA modelling framework. The Postdoctoral Scholar will be housed in the Department of Civil Engineering. They will be part of an interdisciplinary team working to assess the role of chemical fuels (e.g., hydrogen, synthetic fuels) in meeting Canada’s 2050 net-zero goal by developing a Canadian energy system model.
The successful applicant will focus on development of the energy system model and applying the model to evaluate the role that chemical fuels can play in decarbonizing different sectors of the Canadian economy, with a special focus on heavy industry and transportation. They will work closely with project investigators with interdisciplinary backgrounds from engineering, public policy, economics, and law; and will have the opportunity to mentor graduate (PhD and MSc) students working on applying the energy system model to evaluate decarbonization options in different sectors.
Application Deadline: Open until filled
5. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
The successful applicants will focus on system-level design and optimization, techno-economic assessment (TEA), and life cycle assessment (LCA) of Direct Air Capture (DAC), Enhanced Mineralization (EM), or biomass-based (e.g., BiCRS, BECCS) technologies. They will work closely with project investigators, who have expertise in the science and engineering of DAC and EM technologies and in LCA and TEA of emerging technologies and systems, to convert early-stage technology concepts into practical systems and assess the prospective environmental and economic performance of such systems.
They will primarily conduct modeling studies but will have the opportunity to collaborate with researchers conducting laboratory experiments. In addition, they will have the opportunity to mentor graduate (PhD and MSc) students working on related projects. The initial appointment is for one year and may be renewable for a second year, contingent on satisfactory performance and availability of funding.

6. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
The successful candidate would join a research team of Dr. David Park under the guidance and direct supervision of Dr. Alvin Joselin whose research primarily focuses on understanding the death pathways that control neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and the mechanisms of function of PD linked genes.
Previous work for the lab has shown that the PD linked gene PINK1 plays a role in mitochondrial calcium regulation. The aim of the current project is to further explore the molecular mechanisms of this pathway using both cultured cells and rodent models.
The successful candidate is expected to contribute to the development and execution of the project using multi-disciplinary approaches as required for the successful completion of the project. The open position is available initially for a period of 2 years with a possibility of extension. The successful candidate will be expected to engage in full time research and apply to national and international funding competitions.
Application Deadline: Open until filled
7. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
The primary objective of Tight Oil Consortium (TOC) at the Department of Geoscience at the Faculty of Science at the University of Calgary is to solve multidisciplinary problems facing industry in the arena of low-permeability (‘tight’) oil reservoirs (www.tightoilconsortium.com). To accomplish this goal, we are composed of researchers from the geoscience and petroleum engineering disciplines.
Currently, we are looking for a postdoctoral fellow (PDF) with extensive reservoir simulation and optimization experience and strong analytical background in CBM for a one-year term, with the possibility of an extension for a second year. This position is part of an ongoing Mitacs Accelerate program, which allows collaborating directly with the industry partner. As required by Mitacs, the PDF is expected to spend 50% of their time at the industry partner organization. The successful candidate will be part of a multidisciplinary team of engineers and geoscientists at the UofC, helping the industry partner to design an actual CO2 storage pilot in Canada.
Application Deadline: Open until filled
8. Postdoctoral Fellowship
About Postdoctoral Position
This two-year Postdoctoral Scholar will train emerging leaders in data science for kidney health and disease. The two key areas of focus are: (1) development and validation of predictive analytics approaches, and (2) implementation and testing of decision support tools for kidney health and disease. The work will be part of a CIHR team grant titled: Using personalized risk and digital tools to guide transitions following acute kidney events – a pragmatic randomized controlled trial. This work will leverage Connect Care the newly integrated provincial electronic health record to improve quality of care in acute kidney injury.
