The Faculté des Sciences is within walking distance of Vieux (Old) Montreal, Quartier Latin, Crescent street, and the Main (Saint-Laurent Boulevard), the hub of Montreal’s nightlife. Montréal is a vibrant multi-cultural metropolis boasting a unique blend of european and north american influences, and a lively mix of french and anglo-saxon cultures, with plenty of opportunities to wine, dine, and shop (http://www.tourisme-montreal.org). It is also a University town, with over 200,000 students attending the four major universities (UQAM, McGill, Université de Montréal, Concordia), along with major engineering and business schools (ETS, Poly, HEC Montreal), graduate schools (e.g. INRS, Institut Armand Frappier), and research centers (CRIM, CRIQ, CRIAQ, etc.).

Interested candidates should submit an application letter, a résumé, three publications relevant to the post-doctoral project and contact information of three reference persons to Prof. Naouel Moha (moha.naouel@uqam.ca). Candidates will be screened until the position is filled.
