Graduate Student Positions
We are currently accepting applications for graduate student positions. The ideal candidates will be self-motivated team players with a solid background in immunology and a desire to pursue a fruitful career in science. Applications (university transcripts and a detailed curriculum vitae) should be submitted via e-mail. Only shortlisted applicants will be contacted for an interview.
Postdoctoral Position in Innate-like T Cell Immunology
A postdoctoral position is available in our laboratory at Western University, London, Ontario, Canada. The projects to be undertaken are supported by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the Canadian Cancer Society, and will explore the roles of mouse and human innate-like T lymphocytes in host responses to viral pathogens (e.g., influenza A viruses and SARS-CoV-2) and in regulation of antitumor immune surveillance. The ideal candidate has received their PhD in the last 5 years, and is well versed in immunological techniques, including flow cytometry. Additional background in RNA sequencing analyses and experience in mouse models of malignant and infectious diseases are preferred. The candidate should be able to work both independently and as an effective member of a collaborative and growing team. Research stipend will be competitive and commensurate with experience and sought expertise. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted. Applicants should submit (preferably by e-mail) their curriculum vitae, a brief statement of research interests, and names and contact information of three references to:
