In September 2020, Jonathan Gagné joined the Université de Montréal’s physics department as an associate professor. At the same time, he became an associate member of the Institute for Research on Exoplanets (iREx). He recently took part in the discovery of two brown dwarfs with very strange properties as a member of the international team Backyard Worlds: Planet 9, which consists of members of the general public and researchers in astrophysics.
