Job Board > Postdoctoral Position - Laboratory of Dr. Naglaa Shoukry, CRCHUM
A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Naglaa Shoukry at Centre de Recherche du CHUM, Montreal, Canada to work on a CIHR-funded project to study transcriptomics of the immune response against hepatitis C virus. The goal of this project is to define signatures of the protective immune response against hepatitis C virus in a set of unique and rare samples from humans during primary infection and reinfection using single cell approaches. The successful candidate is expected to lead the development of this new research area.
Ph.D. in Immunology, Virology or a related field
Experience in tissue culture and multicolor flowcytometry
Experience in bioinformatics, transcriptomics and coding in R are major assets
