Summary: Chagas disease (CD) is caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi and affects over 8 million people, mainly in South and Central America, but it has spread to several European countries, Japan, Australia, the United States, and Canada. CD became a global health threat with an economic burden of 7.19 billion USD/year resulting from reduced productivity, high mortality, and increased care costs associated with Chagas cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). CD acute stage initiates with flu-like symptoms and can develop into a chronic stage often manifested by gastrointestinal and cardiac diseases. Benznidazole and nifurtimox are the current lines of treatment; however, they fail to treat the chronic stage and are toxic, and vaccines are unavailable. We have developed a genome-wide library of T. cruzi for yeast surface display (YSD). We will use the YSD library to screen peptidomimetic drug-like molecules to identify their targets. We will perform structure-activity relationship analysis with drug-like molecules and targets for compound optimization and test in mutant parasites that overexpress or lack the target protein. Small molecules will be validated in an animal model of cardiovascular CD disease. There will be opportunities to travel to collaborating countries. Vaccine project information is provided under request.
Funding: International Development Research Centre (IDRC)/Canadian Institutes of Health Research.

- Coordinating collaborator input and contributions to the study;
- Planning and executing research activities, including literature reviews, the development of survey materials, data analysis, and assistance in the training and supervision of student researchers;
- Preparing academic publications and research reports; and
- Organizing meetings, training sessions, and public seminars.
Education and Experience:
The successful candidate must possess:
- PhD awarded in the past 5 years in urban planning or engineering or geography or a related discipline with a concentration in transport.
- Demonstrated experience in grant and report writing.
- Demonstrate experience in quantitative data analysis with a publication record.

Position Summary:
The experimental particle physics group at McGill University is looking for a postdoctoral fellow in experimental subatomic physics to join our local nEXO team. We are an energetic group with members at all academic stages. While every member has their own project, teamwork is a central aspect in our research. We consider diversity an asset and hope to increase it within our group.
nEXO is a next generation neutrinoless double beta decay experiment which is being developed by an international collaboration. nEXO will search for the latter beyond the Standard Model weak process in the isotope Xe-136 in a liquid-xenon time-projection chamber. In collaboration with other Canadian groups, the team at McGill is investigating photon emission and transport properties in liquid xenon. With the so-called Light-only Liquid Xenon (LoLX) experiment we aim to measure Cherenkov light emission in liquid xenon using arrays of silicon photomultipliers and investigate cross-talk between them.
LoLX is a small experiment with the potential of enhancing the background rejection capabilities of next generation experiments searching for neutrinoless double beta decay and dark matter interaction in liquid Xenon. Thanks to its small size, LoLX offers the opportunity to get involved in all aspects of an experiment, including taking a major leadership role. Besides LoLX, the group is developing methods to characterize integrated, large-area silicon photomultipliers.
Your tasks will be:
- Lead the operation of the liquid xenon system LoLX at McGill.
- Support the upgrade of LoLX.
- Analyze LoLX data and publish results.
- Support characterization of integrated SiPM modules in a cryogenic environment.
Please arrange to have three letters of reference sent electronically to Thomas Brunner. Applications will be reviewed starting April until the position is filled.
Please send inquiries if you have questions regarding this position to Prof. Thomas Brunner thomas.brunner@mcgill.ca.
