Job Title

The Monnier Lab in Toronto, Canada, is recruiting highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Fellows for exciting projects dealing with CNS regeneration or angiogenesis. Our collaborative and multidisciplinary team is located in the Krembil Brain Institute at the University Health Network (UHN).Our research focuses on understanding (i) the role of inflammation in CNS regeneration and discovering mechanisms whereby inflammation promotes axonal growth, and (ii) the role of blood-borne factors on CNS angiogenesis. To explore these areas, we develop and apply a range of tools and approaches, including:Single-cell sequencing of injured/diseased neuronal tissues.Explant culture experiments to study pathways involved in regeneration or angiogenesis.In vivo vertebrate animal models to study axonal regeneration or vascularization.Advanced imaging techniques such as light sheet and confocal microscopy for investigating axonal growth or blood vessel formation.The postdoctoral researcher will work as part of a dynamic, interdisciplinary team within a world-class research environment, fostering innovation and translational science. The Krembil Brain Institute (KBI) at UHN is home to one of the world's largest and most comprehensive teams of scientists and clinicians dedicated to neurological research and treatment. KBI's research spans acute and chronic conditions, including movement disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, stroke, mental illness, pain, epilepsy, concussion, and spinal cord injury. The Institute has over 120 principal investigators specializing in fundamental, translational, and clinical research.As part of UHN and affiliated with the University of Toronto, the Monnier Lab offers excellent postdoctoral support and access to state-of-the-art research infrastructure in a vibrant city.The ideal candidate holds a PhD in biomedical sciences with a strong background in neuroscience. Experience with single-cell sequencing and injury models of the CNS is highly desirable. Additional skills in neuroimaging, molecular biology, and biochemistry are considered assets.Please contact Dr. Monnier () for inquiries. To apply, submit a detailed CV and cover letter explaining your interest and how your skills align with our research goals. The initial appointment is for two years with a competitive salary based on experience. Recruitment is ongoing, and the start date is flexible. #J-18808-Ljbffr
