A position is open in the Logue Lab, Unverisity for Manitoba for an enthusiastic MSc/PhD student interested in cellular stress and the role that cell stress response pathways play in helping to maintain cell health. This project will extend our recently published findings https://www.nature.com/articles/s41419-024-06663-0 by investigating the signaling mechanisms that control the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR), understanding how communication between UPR mediators help to maintain cell health and when dysregulated contributes to the progression of diseases such as cancer.
The successful applicant will be offered training in a wide range of cell biology techniques including tissue culture, western blotting, qPCR, Crispr/Cas9, tetracycline inducible cell line generation and live cell imaging. The Logue Lab offers a supportive, welcoming and stimulating research environment. Applicants with a background (BSc) in cell biology, biochemistry, immunology or a related discipline are encouraged to apply. Strong communication skills and a good work ethic are essential. Preference will be given to applicants who are eligible to apply for NSERC and CIHR graduate fellowships.
To apply please send a cover letter detailing your interest in the position, transcripts and CV to Susan.Logue@umanitoba.ca
