Interested in joining our research group?


Postdocs

We do not currently have any funded postdoctoral positions available. However, if you have access to external funding or are in the process of applying for your own support, we welcome your interest in joining our group.

How to express interest:
If you are interested please email Dr. Gomez and cc the address [email protected] expressing your interest with the information below. 
Your email should include:
  1. a brief research statement (1-2 pages max) including research to date and future directions, including under the themes listed above.  
  2. a current curriculum vitae;
  3. contact and relationship to two possible references (we will ask for letters at a later stage in the process)

Review of applications will be ongoing and continue until the position is filled.

Candidates are also encouraged to consider applying to the annual competition for postdoctoral fellowships through the Trottier Space Institute (https://msi.mcgill.ca/index.php?page=employment-opportunities-and-fellowships).  These are 2 year fellowships at McGill University that include full salary and will be topped up with a research stipend and cover relocation costs. Fellows will be able to pursue an independent research project based in the Earth and Planetary Sciences Department and as part of the interdisciplinary Trottier Space Institute.  They will be joining a large and active group of postdocs in an exciting, welcoming and very international community with an active focus on EDI.

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.  

At this time, it is uncertain whether there will be openings for new graduate students (PhD or MSc) for a Fall 2026 start. Decisions regarding available positions will be made by the end of September 2025.
Prospective students who are interested in joining the research group are encouraged to check back at that time. Expressions of interest will be welcomed in late September.

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 (starting late September emails sent earlier will not be considered) to me and cc the address [email protected] expressing your interest in an MSc or PhD, including a cv, unofficial 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 do not have the time to respond to every email, but do not be discouraged if you do not hear from me, I will collect and review materials from prospective students and will be in contact late in the Fall term.
- There are many articles providing advice on how to reach out to prospective supervisors.  For example, I like this one.

Requirements:
A background in one or more of the following areas is necessary for most research projects in my group:
*Geophysics
*Climate science
*Earth systems science
*General physics
*Applied mathematics
*Earth sciences with numerical modelling or data analysis experience
