Discover TRIUMF, Canada’s particle accelerator centre. We are a publicly funded, not-for-profit research lab that is a hub for discovery and innovation.
Our mission is to serve as Canada’s particle accelerator centre. We advance isotope science and technology, both fundamental and applied. We collaborate across communities and disciplines, from nuclear and particle physics to the life and material sciences. We discover and innovate, inspire and educate, creating knowledge and opportunity for all.
TRIUMF’s diverse community of nearly 600 multidisciplinary researchers, engineers, technicians, tradespeople, staff, and students create a unique incubator for Canadian excellence, as well as a portal to premier global collaborations. Fueling innovation and improving lives, we are committed to accelerating discovery and shaping a better world.
We are currently accepting applications for a tenure-track Research Scientist position, and we encourage submissions from exceptional scientists with a proven track record in physics, particularly in the areas of cold or ultracold neutrons, or precision experiments in particle physics. Ideal candidates should demonstrate a passion for attracting and mentoring postdocs and graduate students, coupled with the ability to establish effective research programs. This opportunity constitutes a full-time TRIUMF Board Appointed tenure-track position, holding equivalence to a faculty role at a Canadian university. The position is situated at the TRIUMF campus and will be the equivalent rank of an Assistant Professor, but in exceptional cases, other levels can be considered.
