    Short summary: This postdoctoral position will research how Indigenous research practices can lead in the research design of new methods and tools for the assessment of pollution and substances. As chemical risk management turns away from animal testing and as current chemical management fails to protect communities, there is an opportunity to design new methods accountable to, by and for, Indigenous communities for the evaluation of pollutants.

    This fellowship is located at theTRU’s Indigenous Science and Ethical Substance Lab (ISES) and part of the NFRF-Transformation project Transforming Chemical Risk Management with Indigenous Expertise.

    Application Deadline: January 20, 2026

    Short summary: This postdoctoral position will research the urgent question of militarization and weaponization of self-driving labs and AI tools for rapidly creating new chemicals. As self driving lab technologies seek to “democratize” who can build and access the rapid creation of novel substances, they also create the conditions for rapid weapon creation and new challenges for the International Convention on Chemical Weapons.

    This fellowship is located in the TRU’s Indigenous Science and Ethical Substance Lab (ISES) and is connected to a partnership with the Acceleration Consortium’s Self-Driving Labs for Molecular and Materials Discovery’s Canada First Research Excellence Fund project.
