The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at McGill University is advertising a two-year postdoctoral fellowship in probability theory and related fields.

Additional funding will be available to the postdoc for research-related travel. Moreover, postdoctoral fellows, depending on their residency status, may pay a reduced tax rate (via the Québec program "Tax Exemption for Foreign Postdoctoral Trainees").

McGill University is committed to equity and diversity. We welcome and encourage applications from women, Indigenous persons, people with disabilities, members of racialized communities, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and other groups which are currently underrepresented within the mathematical community. Candidates are welcome to signal any leave that affected productivity, or any other circumstances that may have had an effect on their career path. This information will be considered to ensure the equitable assessment of the candidate’s record. McGill seeks to ensure the equitable treatment and full inclusion of people with disabilities by striving for the implementation of universal design principles transversally, across all facets of the University community, and through accommodation policies and procedures.
