1. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Funded by the Government of Canada New Frontiers in Research Funds (NFRF), Mend the Gap project (https://mendthegap.ubc.ca/) addresses the challenge of repairing the spinal cord after injury. To overcome the challenges ahead, an international and highly interdisciplinary team was set up, with researchers from several fields (neuroscience, surgery, materials science, engineering) organized under several research themes. The two open positions are related to building an ultrasound system for biomedical imaging, using newly developed polymer CMUT (Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducer) arrays. The system will be used for the real-time imaging of biomaterial injection into the spinal cord, to help for its repair.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
2. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
A position is open for a postdoctoral fellow with a PhD in neuroscience, biomedical engineering, or a related discipline, and a strong interest in neuroscience, cardiovascular and vascular biology. Interested candidates must be self-motivated and have at least two first-authored papers in peer-reviewed journals. Experience in spinal cord/peripheral nerve stimulation, bladder & bowel dysfunction, experimental animal research, immunocytochemistry, and/or histology is an asset. The postdoctoral fellow will be expected to perform experiments to determine the neuronal and molecular mechanisms underlying cardiovascular and autonomic (i.e., bladder, bowel, sexual, and cardiovascular) dysfunction following spinal cord injury. This involves in vivo, ex vivo, and in vitro experiments along with extensive work involving rodent models of spinal cord injury. The fellow will also be expected to write scientific publications, apply for research funding, and present their work at institutional journal clubs and international conferences.

3. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The candidate would work within a dynamic and vibrant lab with a proven track record of outstanding achievements and contributions in translational biomedical research. This position allows the candidate to contribute bold and innovative research that can be translated to new approaches to treatments for patients.
This position’s primary focus in the lab will be to lead and to participate in projects based on candidate’s desire concentrated on investigating genetics of Huntington disease, molecular mechanisms of Huntington disease pathogenesis and development of novel therapeutics. Using the wide network of connections and collaborations of the principal investigator, and extensive biomedical resources at the institution, candidates will be able to build on the existing research of the lab to quickly start up their own research projects.

4. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Wellington Laboratory is a large and diverse group that conducts both clinical and preclinical research in the areas of traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. We are seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to join the Wellington Laboratory’s clinical fluid biomarker group. The clinical fluid biomarker group uses state of the art technologies to detect a wide variety of protein biomarkers in blood and cerebrospinal fluid. These protein biomarkers help to reflect the complicated dynamics of the brain, thereby enabling their roles as research tools to assist in screening, diagnosis, prognosis, clinical trial design and interpretation. We work collaboratively with many clinicians and clinician scientists at the local, national and international levels, studying various aspects of neurological health and disease, including: neurotrauma, acquired brain injury, neurocritical care, neurodegeneration and healthy aging.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
5. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Fellow will be expected to design and implement studies under the supervision of the Principal Investigator, while also contributing to existing studies. Focus will be on primarily quantitative research projects, including: (1) an administrative-linked cohort study evaluating injectable opioid agonist therapies in Vancouver, and (2) an evaluation of a health incentives intervention. This post will suit recent PhD graduates with strong research skills who are seeking to advance an academic career in public health and health services research. The Fellow will be responsible for preparing grant and fellowship applications, and analysing and writing up existing data, working under the direction of the Principal Investigator. The Fellow will play a role as needed in coordinating program activities, maintaining research records, and contributing to the management and analysis of data.
