Postdoctoral Positions

Two postdoctoral positions are available in the laboratory of Dr. Mansour Haeryfar in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at Western University in 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 sepsis-causing microbes, and in regulation of antitumor immune surveillance.

The ideal candidate has a PhD, MD, DVM (or equivalent), 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. Western University is one of Canada’s top research-intensive universities and ranked frequently among Canada’s Top 100 Employers. Located midway between Toronto and Detroit and within short driving distances from the Great Lakes, London is known as the "Forest City" and home to “Canada’s most beautiful university campus”. It is also considered Southwestern Ontario’s cultural and educational hub (please also refer to https://www.startlondoncanada.com and https://www.londontourism.ca)
