Graduate students
As a member of both the Department of Earth & Planetary Sciences and Trottier Space Institute I aim to lead a diverse research group of bright, enthusiastic, self-motivated graduate students, post docs and undergraduates. I welcome applications from applicants of diverse backgrounds. As a team working on interdisciplinary problems, we value being inclusive, equitable, empathetic, scientifically curious and collaborative.
I am actively recruiting new graduate students to start in the fall of 2024. I am looking for 2-3 graduate students at the PhD or MSc level to join my group. If you are interested please keep reading to find out how to express interest and I will get in touch in November.
How to express interest:
- Refer to EPS page for more information on important dates and how to apply, the deadline to apply each year is January 15th.
-Send and email to me and cc the address natalya.gomez.assistant@gmail.com expressing your interest, including a cv, unnofficial transcript, information on your skills, experience, coursework and training, and an explanation of your interest in pursuing a position in my group. Do not be discouraged if you do not hear from me, I will be collecting and reviewing materials from prospective students all together and starting responding to these emails by the end of October 2023, and again by early December 2023
- There are many articles providing advice on how to reach out to prospective supervisors. For example, I like this one.

Postdocs
I am not actively recruiting for a specific postdoc position at this time, but I am generally open to hearing from those interested in working with me to explore funding opportunities, including the annual McGill competitions below.
There are annual competitions for postdoctoral fellowships through the Trottier Space Institute (https://msi.mcgill.ca/index.php?page=employment-opportunities-and-fellowships) and the McGill Earth and Planetary Sciences Department's Wares Postdoctoral Fellowship Competition (https://www.mcgill.ca/eps/department/employment-opportunities). The latter are 2 year fellowships at McGill University in the heart of Montreal, Canada include full salary and a research stipend and cover relocation costs. Fellows will be able to pursue an independent research project in collaboration with one or more faculty in our department and they will be joining a large and active group of postdocs in an exciting, welcoming and very international department with an active focus on EDI (e.g. https://www.mcgill.ca/eps/ewc-committee).
Please share and email (natalya.gomez@mcgill.ca) if interested to collaborate. My research program covers numerical modeling and observations of past and future climate, sea levels, ice sheet dynamics and solid Earth geophysics.
