5 days ago


Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada UBC Full time
Job Overview

The University of British Columbia (UBC) is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join our team in the Department of Zoology. As a key member of our research group, you will contribute to the development and implementation of a research project focused on the dynamics of parasite infection in intertidal marine invertebrates.

Research Project

The Sentinels of Change Alliance project aims to explore the role of environmental variation in shaping the dynamics of parasite infection in intertidal marine invertebrates. This project will involve field observations, manipulations, and laboratory experiments to investigate the impact of environmental change on parasite-host interactions. You will work closely with our team of scientists, postdocs, and field technicians to design and implement experiments, collect and analyze data, and publish research findings in peer-reviewed journals.

Responsibilities
  • Design and implement experiments to test hypotheses about invertebrate-parasite ecological and/or evolutionary dynamics
  • Apply expert knowledge of host-parasite interactions to hypothesis development and result interpretation
  • Collaborate with the Sentinels team to develop and implement research projects
  • Publish research findings in peer-reviewed journals in a timely fashion
  • Communicate research results to colleagues, collaborators, and mentors
Requirements
  • Ph.D. in a relevant field (e.g., parasitology, evolutionary ecology, biodiversity research)
  • Expert knowledge of host-parasite interactions and ecological dynamics
  • Experience with experimental design, data analysis, and publication of research findings
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team
Working Environment

The position is based at the Vancouver campus of the University of British Columbia, which lies on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Musqueam people. You will have access to state-of-the-art research facilities and equipment, as well as opportunities for professional development and collaboration with a diverse team of researchers.

Benefits

The expected salary is $70,000 per year, with benefits as per the UBC postdoctoral fellow benefits package. The offer is for two years, ideally starting fall 2024, with a performance review after one year.
