[Please share widely]
The Formal Languages and Automata Research Lab (FLAReLab) at St. Francis Xavier University is seeking motivated students to join our MSc program. While the lab's research focus is formal language theory and automata theory, graduate students may choose to study any area of theoretical computer science adjacent to formal languages and automata.
FLAReLab offers opportunities for collaboration with theory researchers across Canada and around the world. Members of FLAReLab regularly travel both nationally and internationally to present their research to the theory community. Our lab's work is supported by a major grant from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC).
FUNDING:
This MSc opportunity comes with a funding package that fully covers the cost of tuition for two years as well as some living expenses. Students may also be eligible for federal/provincial scholarships, university scholarships, teaching assistantships, and other awards. FLAReLab has funding available for travel to conferences.
LOCATION:
St. Francis Xavier University (StFX) is located in Antigonish, the heart of northeastern Nova Scotia, Canada. The StFX campus offers a small, supportive environment nestled in a welcoming town surrounded by green forests, rolling hills, and the ocean breeze.

Major Canadian cities like Montreal, Ottawa, and Toronto are all accessible by car, train, and plane.
