8. Postdoctoral Research Associate in coupled biological/chemical/physical ocean modelling

Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:

This project will focus on oxygen in the coastal ocean, specifically, in the Salish Sea. The Salish Sea is a diverse coastal region that includes deep basins, long straight straits, and connected fjords. Parts of the region are strongly stratified by river out ows and parts are strongly mixed due to tides. Some of the region is in close proximity to large urban centers and other parts are remote.

The oxygen cycle is complex. As well as direct changes in the incoming oxygen from the ocean, oxygen is also changing due to changes in the incoming temperature and nitrate and thus changes in the biological productivity. It is also being impacted by excess nutrient inputs. This diversity of phenomena within one region makes the Salish Sea an ideal test bed for modelling the interplay of oxygen stressors.

The primary tool will be SalishSeaCast which runs in real time and also has a >15 year hindcast. SalishSeaCast includes a physical model, lower trophic biological model, oxygen and carbon models and is forced by realistic atmosphere, river, sea surface height and open boundary conditions. It has been shown to reproduce the physical, biological and carbon state of the Salish Sea with high fidelity. The candidate will confirm the oxygen formulation within SalishSeaCast and evaluate the oxygen results against available Canadian and US observations.

14. Postdoctoral Fellow: Single-molecule microscopy of RNA-based medicines and vaccines

Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:

The Leslie Lab’s single-molecule technology, Convex Lens-induced Confinement (CLiC), works by squeezing molecules into arrays of nanometer- to micrometer-scale “traps” that are large enough to allow the molecules to move and interact freely, but small enough to keep them confined so they can be imaged over extended periods with a high-powered optical microscope. The result is the world’s first tether-free and high-throughput single-molecule technology for analyzing individual molecular interactions in cell-like conditions. CLiC is capable of detecting, following, and understanding rare molecular events – like the drug/target interactions which can ‘silence’ genes associated with the onset of diseases – and by enabling direct visualization of how the drugs work, help us better engineer them.

3. Postdoctoral Fellowship with Forest Resources and Environmental Services Hub

Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:

A one year fulltime postdoctoral fellowship (PDF) is available with the Forest Resources and Environmental Services Hub (FRESH) at the University of British Columbia. The postdoctoral fellow will join a team of researchers studying nature-based decarbonization opportunities for the mining and forest sectors. Many of the world’s largest mining companies are voluntarily targeting net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Recent research on technical feasibility of mining operation decarbonization has shown that mining companies may be able to achieve up to 70% carbon emissions reductions through internal initiatives, but may require options to capture and store carbon (either through purchasing offsets on the open market or capturing carbon) to drive net emissions all the way to zero. It is also predicted that the future cost of these offsets on the market will be multiples of what they are today. Nature-based solutions such as capturing carbon in forests, wetlands and soil will become an essential part of carbon capture portfolios for mining companies to stabilize and minimize the total cost of achieving decarbonization commitments.

26. Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Pain Management and C. elegans

Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:

We are looking for a postdoctoral fellow who will strive to make a meaningful impact on maternal and child health by contributing to leading-edge research aimed at improving pain management. Pain management is often under-emphasized, yet inadequate pain relief can interfere with a mother’s ability to care for her child, and can disrupt sleep, impact behaviour and cause vomiting in children. In light of the current opioid crisis, there is increased urgency to balance both safety and effectiveness of opioid-based analgesics, while simultaneously limiting the use of opioids. Given the resulting hesitancy associated with prescribing opioids, we are likely undertreating pain in women and children. Safe and effective pain management is influenced by individual genetic differences that dictate both how we feel pain and how we respond to specific analgesics.
