Graduate Researcher Positions
We often have open M.Sc./Ph.D. positions for Canadian citizens and permanent residents who are interested in our research, just send a quick email to nvukotic@uwindsor.ca if you are interested and I would be more than happy to start a conversation
Post-doctoral Researchers
We currently have one open post-doctoral fellow (PDF) position: Postdoctoral fellows holding external funding are always welcome to apply. Please note that due to the volume of applications that are received, only qualified applicants will be contacted.
Industrial PDF Position(s):
PDF: Crystallographic Software Development ($60,000+ depending on experience)
Applications are invited for one Mitacs industrial postdoctoral position available in crystallographic software development. The position requires knowledge of crystallography and programming (python, C+). Experience in UI design and code versioning tools, such as Git would also be an asset. The PDF would work closely with the software development team at PROTO. Applicants should contact Dr. Vukotic by e-mail (nvukotic@uwindsor.ca) with a statement of interest and curriculum vitae including the contact information for 2-3 references. This position requires a formal application to Mitacs that will be completed with the help of the applicant and is supported by our industry sponsor, PROTO Mfg.
Industrial Research Partner
This multidisciplinary research program could not be undertaken without a diverse team of material scientists, chemists, physicists, and engineers. This is accomplished by working closely with our industrial sponsor, PROTO Mfg.
