'''POSITION AVAILABLE:''' The Molecular Communication and Information Theory Laboratory (MCIT) at York University, Toronto, Canada invites applications for a postdoctoral fellowship in the area of information theory, molecular communication, and biological information processing.
 
 
As the successful fellow, you will join a dynamic team, helping to build the MCIT’s world-leading strength at the cutting edge of biological communication and signal processing. You would live in the city of Toronto, named as one of the world’s top 20 cities by The Economist’s Global Liveability Index.
 
 
Applicants must have received a Ph.D. (or have successfully completed their Ph.D. defence) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, or related fields. Applicants should have excellent analytical and mathematical skills, and a strong record of publication in the engineering, mathematical, or scientific literature. Previous work in mathematical modelling and information theory would be an asset. Background knowledge of biology is an asset but not a requirement.
 
 
The start date of the fellowship is flexible, with a target of January 1, 2026. The initial term of the fellowship is one year, with the possibility of extension.
 
 
To apply, send a CV, two sample publications, the names of 2 references, and brief cover letter outlining your interest in the position, to the MCIT Principal Investigator, Prof. Andrew Eckford: [mailto:aeckford@yorku.ca aeckford@yorku.ca]

Graduate Students

General application instructions: Positions at the MASc or PhD level may be available from time to time, depending on funding. To join the lab as a graduate student, please apply for admission to the MASc or PhD program in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. In your application materials, mention your interest in working with Prof. Eckford.

Please contact the principal investigator for more information.

NOTE: Because the PI receives many emails inquiring about graduate positions, you can help your message stand out (and prove that you checked this page) by answering the following question in the first line of your email:

  • Who is your favourite science fiction author? (If you don't like science fiction, who is your favourite author in general?) No explanation needed, just the name.

Undergraduate Students

Undergraduate research internships are often available in the lab, especially in the summer. Priority is given to York University students under Lassonde School undergraduate research programs. Please contact the principal investigator for more information.
