We are Looking to Add to the Group!
The Huff lab is currently looking and fully funded to support qualified PhDs, MScs, and summer undergraduate students. Please send expressions of interest directly to Dr. Huff at taleana.huff@queensu.ca following the directions below.
Two fully funded (full buy-out with no mandatory TA requirement) PhD positions are currently available in the Huff lab with flexible start dates in 2026. These can be in Chemistry or Physics tracks.
Apply Before: July 31st 2026 for Sept 1st 2026 start.
Summer Student Positions
Queen’s 4th Year Thesis Projects — CHEM, ENG-PHYS, PHYS
Two funded (some TA’ing required) MSc positions are currently available in the Huff lab with flexible start dates in 2026.
Apply Before: July 31st 2026 for Sept 1st 2026 start.
Enterprising summer students are always welcome! Terms are generally 16 weeks with start and end dates negotiated with Dr. Huff (generally starting May). These positions are generally funded (~11k for the 16 week term), but volunteer positions are also considered.
You’ll be paired with a senior lab member/student to work on projects that facilitate our atom/molecular scanning! We support a wide range of projects including analysis, hardware design, software, etc., although tend to lean heavy into experimental development, surface chemistry, physical chemistry, and physics. Our available projects for summer students is always changing as new priorities arise, so don’t be shy to as for our current list.
Apply Before:
March 31st of the current calendar year.
To apply:
Email Dr. Huff and briefly detail a little about yourself, your research interests, and what interests you about working in the Huff group (< 1 page). Please also attach unofficial transcripts. Candidates who pass this initial screening will be contacted to talk with Prof. Huff.
Dr. Huff generally supports several Queen’s 4th year thesis students per academic year.
You’ll be paired with a senior lab member/student to work on projects that facilitate our atom/molecular scanning! We support a wide range of projects suitable for chemistry, engineering physics, physics, and materials science students.
As an experimental lab we often support work across analysis, hardware design, software automation, instrument design, photonics, semiconductor physics, molecular chemistry, quantum physics/chemistry, molecular dynamics, etc. Our available projects for 4th year thesis students is always changing as new priorities arise, so don’t be shy to as for our current list.
Apply Before:
Your department’s 4th year thesis selection internal deadline.
