Assistant Professor (Research), Department of Microbiology & Immunology

The McGill University Department of Microbiology and Immunology and the Mark Wainberg Centre for Viral Diseases in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences is inviting applications for a full-time Contract Academic Staff position at the rank of Assistant Professor (Research) in the general area of fundamental immunology. The position is based at the Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research (LDI), Jewish General Hospital (JGH). This is a Contract Academic Staff position and does not confer eligibility for tenure.

The Department of Microbiology and Immunology is part of the School of Biomedical Sciences within the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at Canada’s renowned McGill University, located in the vibrant and multicultural city of Montreal, in the province of Quebec.

The LDI is the research arm of the Jewish General Hospital (JGH) which is affiliated with the CIUSSS du Centre-Ouest-de-l'Île-de-Montréal (CCOMTL) and is part of the McGill Integrated University Health Network. Over the years, the LDI has been remarkably successful in attracting outstanding investigators with recognized excellence in areas such as Cancer Therapeutics, Molecular Oncology, Cell and Gene Therapy, AIDS/HIV, Aging, Hypertension and Cardiovascular Disease, Clinical Epidemiology, and Psychosocial Aspects of Disease.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity of collaborating with members of the Mark Wainberg Centre for Viral Diseases, the McGill Interdisciplinary Institutes of Infection and Immunity (MI4), the Department of Microbiology and Immunology, the research institute at the McGill University Health Network, and the broad McGill research community.

Job Duties

The successful applicant is expected to establish and maintain a productive independent research program that aims to understand and discover mitigating strategies of viral diseases through elucidating the complex host responses to viral infections, which may include but not be limited to:

  1. Emerging and pandemic viruses;
  2. Antibody responses;
  3. Metabolic responses;
  4. Genomic/proteomic aspects of host response;
  5. Host-microbe interactions.

The successful candidate will be appointed for a three-year renewable term within the Department of Microbiology and Immunology. In addition to lab and office space at the Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research, the individual will have access to all the resources of the LDI and the McGill University downtown campus—including animal facilities, core facilities, and collaborative support. They will also be provided a competitive startup package and structured mentorship to support the launching of their research program.

The ideal candidates will be emerging research leaders launching independent research programs focused on fundamental immunology and the host response to viruses.

The successful applicant will be expected to establish and carry out an innovative and externally funded research program that integrates with existing strengths within the LDI and the Department of Microbiology and Immunology.

The successful candidate will also be expected to be actively involved in all aspects of McGill’s academic mission (i.e., research, teaching, supervision of students, residents, post-doctoral fellows, and involvement in academic and administrative committees). They will also be expected to contribute to undergraduate and graduate classroom-based teaching.

McGill faculty members are expected to contribute to service activities within their units, the University, and the wider scholarly community. A demonstrated commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion is also expected.

Qualifications and Education Requirements
  1. Have completed a PhD in a related field within the last 5 years;
  2. Possess post-doctoral training in immunology, virology, host-pathogen interactions, or a related discipline;
  3. Have evidence of strong research productivity and a publication record of primary research articles;
  4. Be poised to launch an independent research program in the fields of immunology, virology, host-pathogen interactions;
  5. Fluency in English is essential; a working knowledge of French, or a commitment to acquiring it within a few years of appointment is preferred.
