Join Us

At ESP, we believe that successful research comes from different perspectives. We reflect this belief by recruiting diverse candidates and hiring the best to join a research group that is inclusive and supportive of all its members.

Undergraduate students

ESP accepts undergraduate students wanting to do research projects in robotics. These positions are primarily offered through Queen's Summer Work Experience Program (SWEP) or NSERC's Undergraduate Student Research Awards (USRAs). More details on SWEP and associated deadlines are available on the SWEP webpage.

Graduate students

ESP accepts master's and doctoral graduate students in robotics. Perspective students must apply to a specific program through the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (M.A.Sc. or Ph.D.) and specify Dr. Jonathan Gammell as their potential supervisor. ESP welcomes students interested in developing and extending our understanding of robotics regardless of their formal academic background. Please contact Dr. Jonathan Gammell directly with specific questions about potential research projects.

Postdoctoral researchers

ESP does not currently have any openings for postdoctoral research associates.
