Research Associate in Mammalian Regeneration at UBC
The Michael Smith Laboratories at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, invites applications for a Research Associate position in Mammalian Regeneration to work under the supervision of Dr. Freda Miller. The successful candidate will work on a project defining molecular mechanisms that regulate mammalian digit tip regeneration.
Project: The digit tip is one of the few privileged mammalian tissues that undergo multi-tissue regeneration following injury. For this project, the Research Associate will work with other researchers in the Miller laboratory to define the cellular and molecular mechanisms that confer this unique privileged status upon the digit tip. The Research Associate will use single cell spatial transcriptomics, genetic mouse models, and cutting-edge imaging technologies to pursue this work.
Candidate: The ideal candidate will hold a PhD in biology, molecular biology or other related biomedical sciences field. The candidate must have experience in the area of regeneration biology, and postdoctoral experience with single cell spatial transcriptomics and genetic mouse models as applied to mammalian tissue regeneration. The candidate must be able to work well on a team.
Opportunity: The University of British Columbia is located in Vancouver, which is world-renowned for its scenery and quality of living. The successful applicant will join a vibrant, collaborative environment at UBC’s Michael Smith Laboratories and will benefit from opportunities to engage with world-class researchers in in the field of stem cells and regenerative biology.
The expected pay range for this position is $76,128 per annum. The initial appointment will be for one year commencing January 1, 2027 with a possibility for extension, subject to satisfactory performance and funding.
