Single Cell Multiomics Research Associate

Apply single cell multiomics and spatial transcriptomics to mammalian brain repair research at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada.

This full-time Research Associate term position is based at UBC’s Michael Smith Laboratories under Dr. Freda Miller. The work examines how limited repair occurs in the mammalian brain. You will define relevant cellular and molecular responses, focusing on neural stem cells and microglia in murine models. Collaboration with Miller laboratory researchers is central to the project.

• Use mouse models to study mammalian brain repair
• Perform single cell multiomic analysis of repair models
• Employ spatial transcriptomics in neural stem cell research
• Characterize microglia and neural stem cell responses
• Define cellular and molecular repair mechanisms

• PhD in biology, molecular biology, or related biomedical sciences
• Molecular cellular biology and neuroscience experience
• Postdoctoral experience with single cell spatial transcriptomics
• Postdoctoral experience with genetic mouse models
• Strong ability to work well within a team

Use multiomic analysis, genetic mouse models, and neuroscience expertise to study cellular mechanisms of brain repair at UBC.
