Graduate students and post-doctoral fellows are extremely valuable members of the TRIUMF community and make indispensable contributions to advancing the laboratory's research activities and mission. TRIUMF strives to offer postdocs and graduate students with exceptional opportunities for research training and career development in a lively and interactive environment.
Graduate Students and Postdocs Society
The Graduate Student and Postdoc Society (GAPS) is the primary social and professional development vehicle for TRIUMF's graduate students and postdocs. GAPS is committed to fostering a sense of community among the graduate students and postdocs, and developing an infrastructure to support their needs.

Graduate Student Support
Graduate Students who have an employment agreement with TRIUMF, or who are stationed at TRIUMF to conduct their research typically for more than 120 days, are eligible for financial assistance to support their TRIUMF residency. These students have a permanent or semi-permanent presence at the laboratory, distinct from users who only come for short intervals.
Thesis Opportunities
TRIUMF offers a unique environment for graduate students. Students can do research at TRIUMF visiting with their supervisors, or they can be resident here under the supervision of a laboratory research scientist. Although TRIUMF is not a degree-granting institution, our research scientists are affiliated with universities with whom students can obtain their degrees.
The Thesis Opportunities page lists scientists who are actively recruiting students or interested in doing so.
Graduate Awards and Fellowships
TRIUMF offers awards for graduate students conducting their research at our world class facilities.
International Graduate Students
Graduate students from around the world come to TRIUMF to further their research careers. In general if the student's supervisor is a TRIUMF user, then it is possible for the student to come to TRIUMF.
TRIUMF also liaises with a variety of organizations to faciliate and coordinate research opportunities for international students. It is also possible for international students to do research at TRIUMF outside of the programs covered by those agencies.
