Job Title

Posting Title: Advertisement For Assistant or Associate Professor Position number: 37564 Type: Assistant or Associate Professor Department: Human Anatomy & Cell Science Faculty: Rady Faculty of Health Sciences For more information please contact: Jacki Armstrong The Department Human Anatomy & Cell Science invites applications for a full-time tenured or probationary (tenuretrack) position at the Assistant or Associate Professor rank, commencing September 1, 2026, or on a date mutually agreed upon. Salary and rank will be commensurate with experience and qualifications. The Department of Human Anatomy and Cell Science, in collaboration with the Manitoba Centre for Proteomics and Systems Biology, is seeking to expand translational cancer research through innovative approaches to interrogate functional protein states in clinically relevant cell and tissue specimens. This includes emerging spatially resolved and imagingbased proteomic strategies, analysis of posttranslational modifications, and integration with complementary multiomic datasets to define signaling networks and cellular interactions in situ across cellbased and in vivo model systems. The department seeks to expand existing preclinical and translational cancer research and specifically invites researchers with the potential to build multidisciplinary and translational research teams. This position will intersect with and support the departments research strengths in brain tumors (primary and metastatic) and cell stress mechanisms. Candidates with a research interest in the interactions between tumor cells and resident brain cells are especially encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will contribute to the departments teaching activities at the undergraduate and/or graduate level. It is expected that the candidate will participate in service activities for the department, the university and the community. The successful candidate will develop a strong, externally funded and nationally recognised research program that integrates with and expands upon the departments research strengths. Preference will be given to applicants with a research program suitable for both health (CIHR) and fundamental science (NSERC) funding. Candidates demonstrating innovative tissuebased and spatial proteomic methodologies, including applications in preclinical cancer models, are encouraged to apply. The candidate is expected to take a collaborative teambased approach to building a successful research program that will attract and retain talented trainees. The successful candidate will apply to local and provincial funding opportunities and will receive startup funds to setup their research lab. The successful candidate is expected to apply to the Canada Foundation for Innovation John R. Evans Leaders Fund (CFIJELF) to complement existing infrastructure and equipment in the department. The department houses the electron microscopy core platform and the histology service facility of the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences, as well as the departmental microscopy imaging suite and the brain tumor cell and tissue resource in support of translational brain tumour research. The candidate will have access to 3D imaging, superresolution and confocal imaging, transmission electron microscopy, histomorphology facilities, a recently expanded zebrafish facility, and an established mammalian animal facility with animal imaging capabilities (PETMRI, microCT, IVIS bioluminescence and ultrasound). They have access to the proteomics & systems biology core platform and other core platforms at the RFHS, such as flow cytometry, livecell imaging, central animal core and transgenic facilities, and statistical genomics and bioinformatics Strong collaborations exist with the Paul Albrechtsen Research Institute CancerCare Manitoba The Department of Human Anatomy and Cell Science has fourteen fulltime tenured and tenuretrack faculty members and two instructors and has a strong track record of teaching excellence to different educational programmes in the health professions at the undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate level. This position will strengthen current and planned translational and proteomic cancer research programmes in the newly formed School of Biomedical Sciences, Max Rady College of Medicine. The candidate will be expected to contribute to the academic mission of the Department and the School through excellence in teaching, development of a strong and externally funded programme of research and engage in service contributions to the University and broader academic/professional community. Qualifications Assistant Professor: The successful candidate will have a PhD or MD/PhD degree or equivalent, a minimal postdoctoral experience of 23 years, have demonstrated consistent research productivity, and employ innovative approaches in functional proteomic analysis of patient biospecimens and/or preclinical animal tissues. The department offers mentorship for the candidates research programme and teaching activities. Associate Professor: The successful candidate will have a PhD or MD/PhD degree or equivalent, previous experience as principal investigator supervising graduate students and facilitating a successfully funded research programme. They will have demonstrated excellent research productivity and employ innovative approaches in functional proteomic analysis of patient biospecimens and/or preclinical animal tissues. Evidence for leadership in teambased interdisciplinary research contributions is an asset.
