The Department of Bioengineering at McGill University seeks a Postdoctoral Researcher to work on a four-year CIHR Funded project in the area of identifying the effects of long COVID on the autonomic nervous system using high-field (7T magnetic resonance imaging) and physiological monitoring. The Researcher will be joining a multidisciplinary team of researchers mainly based at McGill University, led by Dr. Georgios Mitsis (Department of Bioengineering), Dr. Richard Hoge (Department of Neurology) and Dr. Marie-Helene Boudrias (School of Occupational and Physical Therapy). They will have the unique opportunity to access and use a state-of-the-art 7T MR scanner, one of the only two currently available in Canada.
Responsibilities:
- Oversee and participate in data collection (high-field neuroimaging and physiological monitoring, including transcranial Doppler ultrasound) to take place at the Department of Bioengineering and Montreal Neurological Institute
- Supervise graduate and undergraduate students working in the project
- Analysis of neuroimaging and physiological data
- Preparation of manuscripts and conference presentations
Qualifications:
- Ph.D. in biomedical engineering, neuroscience or related field
- Previous experience with functional magnetic resonance imaging and/or transcranial Doppler ultrasound data collection and analysis (e.g., FSL, SPM or equivalent)
- Strong background in biomedical signal processing
- Excellent knowledge of statistics and related software packages (e.g., R, SPSS or equivalent)
- Accuracy and attention to detail
- High level organizational skills
- Leadership skills, ability to work in a multidisciplinary team
- Sense of motivation and ability to work independently
Expected start date: June 1, 2023
Duration: 1 year renewable
Salary: CAD45,000 - commensurate with qualifications and experience.
Qualified applicants should submit a single application package online which includes the following:

The Synthetic Biology group (Prof. Codruta Ignea) in the Bioengineering department at the McGill University invites highly motivated candidates to apply for a Postdoctoral Researcher position to study terpenoid biosynthesis.
Ignea group (https://mcgill.ca/bioengineering/codruta-ignea) focuses on the biosynthesis of bioactive compounds and their production in engineered yeast targeting the largest class of natural products, the terpenoids. These compounds have found various applications as pharmaceuticals, food supplements, flavors and fragrances, biopesticides or even biofuels.
By reconstructing and optimizing target pathways and enzymes involved in terpenoid biosynthesis, we aim to achieve high yields of known compounds and produce new-to-nature molecules with potential interesting activities.
Project description:
An interdisciplinary project for the production of bioactive terpenoids in yeast cells. The project is part of an integrative program aiming to AI-driven discovery of small molecules for drug development and combines computational studies with synthetic biology, metabolic engineering and bioactivity evaluation.
The project involves gene discovery and pathway elucidation, synthetic biology, metabolic engineering and genome editing approaches for the reconstruction and optimization of target biosynthetic pathways in yeast cells, gene mining and screening of library candidates, enzyme engineering, production and characterization of target compounds.
Qualifications:
-Applicants must hold a Ph.D. with background in bioinformatics/computational biology, system, structural or synthetic biology.
- Strong expertise in genomics/transcriptomics, protein engineering, modelling, genetic/protein networks.
- Knowledge about yeast/plant genomics, specialized metabolism, or natural products is desirable but not essential.
This is a one year contract renewable.
Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
