• Description:
• The Strong Laboratory at Robarts Research Institute at Western University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellowship focused on the molecular bases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. This position offers an opportunity to engage in innovative research in the human non-coding transcriptome in neurodegenerative diseases. The initial appointment is for up to two years, with a competitive salary based on experience. The successful candidate will employ advanced single-cell multiomics approaches to investigate the role of non-coding RNAs in the death and survival of motor neurons, in silico and in vitro. Experimental techniques will include single-cell RNA sequencing, proteomics, smFISH and immunofluorescence, in postmortem human samples and cellular models. Applicants must have a PhD in Molecular Biology, Neuroscience or related discipline. Candidates with a strong background in bioinformatics, single-cell sequencing and transcriptomics will be given preference. A robust publication record in peer-reviewed journals is essential. The ideal candidate will be independent, team-oriented, and possess strong analytical and organizational skills. Applications will be reviewed until the position is filled. Western University is recognized as one of Canada’s premier research- intensive institutions, with particular strengths in biomedical science and neuroscience. Robarts Research provides a vibrant collaborative and multidisciplinary environment for studying human diseases. The university is dedicated to fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion, and encourages applications of all backgrounds, including those from underrepresented groups.
