Jason's p36 is a period-36 oscillator found by Jason Summers on July 23, 2004. It is used in Jason's p36 gun found at the same time. It is made of a reaction between two B-heptominoes hassled by two jams (or caterers) and two eater 1s.

A 34-glider synthesis for the version of this oscillator using caterers was discovered by Mark Niemiec in July 2004. By 2023 the synthesis for this version had been reduced to only 22 gliders.

On May 25, 2023, Chris857 found a 25-glider synthesis for the canonical form of Jason's p36, along with syntheses of two isomers with different jam orientations.
