Postdoctoral, PhD and undergraduate long-term and short-term positions: Laval University, Canada
By TheScienceJobs • Jul 18th, 2010 • Category: Biochemistry, Bioinformatics, Biotechnology, Evolution, Genetics, Proteomics
Our laboratory is eager to receive applications from highly motivated scientists with an excellent record to apply to a Quebec government fellowship available for non-Canadian candidates to study in our laboratory. Doctoral ($25,000 a year for 3 years) and postdoctoral fellowships ($35,000+ for one year) are available. Furthermore, internships are available for a visit at our laboratory ($3,000 CDN/month, up to 4 months) during their undergraduate or graduate studies in another laboratory. Pre-selection by the host university and our laboratory is mandatory.
Candidates from all over the world are invited to apply. Additionally, specific fellowships are available for candidates from Mexico, Brazil, China and Wallonie.
Our laboratory studies the evolution of gene and protein networks using the budding yeasts as models. Potential projects include the study of gene duplication and divergence, the evolution of phenotypic divergence among species and the study of reproductive isolation. We are also interested in the quantitative genetics of noise and response dynamics of signalling networks. We are using proteomics tools such as mass spectrometry, fluorescence microscopy, and mutant library screening using robotics and protein-protein interaction technologies such as PCA. We also have access to next-generation sequencing technologies for gene expression studies and genotyping.
We are in the Department of Biology at Laval University, located in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. Our laboratory is part of the Institute of Integrative and Systems Biology (IBIS).
Laval University is one of the ten main Canadian universities. Quebec City is dynamic with all the advantages of a large city while still allowing for very easy access to wilderness and very reasonable cost of living. The chosen candidates who are successful at obtaining a fellowship will be part of the Institute of Integrative and Systems Biology. They will have access to core genomics and molecular biology facilities, lab meetings and Institute-wide group meetings, journal clubs and weekly seminars at the Institute and in the Biology Department. Several ecological genomics laboratories are part of the Institute and the Biology department, allowing for enriched interactions with members of the other laboratories working in this field.
DEADLINES: Our laboratory must receive applications before July 23, 2010. We will then proceed to select candidates that will be able to apply to the University pre-selection committee with a deadline of August 9th 2010. Candidates selected by the university will then be allowed to apply to the general competition in Fall 2010, with results given in April 2011.
