The Department of Cellular & Physiological Sciences at the University of British Columbia invites applications for a Research Associate at 0.8 FTE to join the laboratory of Dr. Chris West.

The Department of Cellular and Physiological Sciences performs world-class research aimed at understanding the fundamental workings of cells and organisms in an effort to identify the underlying causes of human diseases. The Department's research is diverse, with Investigators working in a wide range of the leading invertebrate and vertebrate model systems and using biochemical, molecular genetic, cellular and physiological approaches. The Department has particular strengths in neuroscience, endocrinology, development and cancer. The robust collaborative spirit between the Department's Investigators drives increasingly multidisciplinary research programs in each laboratory. This includes the incorporation of the latest technologies in molecular biology, genetics, next-generation genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, and genetically-engineered animal models to complement our expertise in cell biological and physiology. The research in the Department is also strengthened by our use of advanced imaging capabilities that includes EM, super-resolution, 2-photon, live-cell and high-throughput microscopy. Research in the Department of Cellular and Physiological Sciences is providing insight into the fundamental biological processes and pathologies that lie behind many diseases, including cancer, Alzheimer's, diabetes, heart disease, and stroke, to name just a few.

Key tasks of the candidate will include the following:

The responsibilities of the candidate will include conducting research with a primary focus on the development and application of cutting-edge approaches to assess in vivo cardiovascular physiology in small and large animal models. This involves application of telemetry systems, cardiac pressure-volume loops, sympathetic nerve recordings, and perivascular flow probes. Additionally, the incumbent will be expected to supervise both graduate and undergraduate students. The role also requires active participation in writing papers in scientific journals, attending scientific meetings, and assisting in the development and instruction of new professional courses in small animal cardiovascular physiology. All duties and responsibilities shall be carried out under the direction of the supervisor, Dr. Chris West. Performance of assigned duties and responsibilities shall be subject to evaluation by the supervisor.

Education/Work Experience:

The successful candidate will hold a Ph.D. degree in physiology or a related discipline, with demonstrated hands-on surgical expertise in assessing in vivo cardiovascular physiology in rodents and other mammals. Applicants will have a minimum of two years of post-doctoral training with a demonstrated track record of publication in the field of cardiovascular physiology or in a related discipline.

Skills:

Invasive assessment of cardiovascular function in small animals. Neurophysiological recordings of sympathetic nerve activity. Experimental design and statistics. Excellent oral and written communication. Project management and team building. Ability to work in a fast-paced and demanding team environment.

Location:

This is an in-person job, located at the Centre for Chronic Disease Prevention and Management at the UBC-Okanagan campus in Kelowna.

Candidates interested must apply via the UBC Careers website.
