About this scholarship
Postdoctoral positions at Perimeter Institute for new and recent PhDs in fundamental theoretical physics, including named fellowships, most for three years.
Minimum requirements
New and recent PhDs working in fundamental theoretical physics. Application: CV, list of publications, research statement, and at least three letters of recommendation.
Application checklist
- Confirm your research fits fundamental theoretical physics
- Prepare a CV, publication list and research statement
- Arrange at least three letters of recommendation
- Apply before consideration begins on 6 November 2026 for the first review wave
- Note the rolling close: apply as early as possible, since positions fill on a rolling basis
Application tips
- Because there is no fixed deadline, the 6 November 2026 consideration start is the only hard date: treat it as your deadline.
- Named four-year and senior five-year fellowships exist alongside the standard three-year positions; check which you are eligible for.
- Three strong letters are required, so brief your referees on the theoretical-physics focus before they write.
Always verify deadline, amount and eligibility on the official page before applying. Values marked ESTIMATE are based on a previous cycle and are not confirmed for the current round.
