Training & Expectations: Major areas of focus for the PDF candidates will include studying neurodegeneration, neuroprotection, neural repair, neural stem cells, glial cells, and neuroinflammation in MS and/or SCI. The candidate should have a solid understanding and demonstrated proficiency in some of the following:
- Cell culture methods involving both isolation and maintenance of rodent neuronal and primary cultures as well as human cell lines.
- Ability to perform and troubleshoot a wide variety of molecular and cellular biology techniques: Western blotting, qPCR, immunohisto/cytochemistry, experience with siRNA knockdown, RNA seq and associated data analyses/mining are a strong asset.
- Applicants with experience in pre-clinical models of neurodegenerative diseases including MS (particularly autoimmune and chemical demyelinating) and spinal cord injury are especially encouraged to apply.
- Behavioural analysis.
- Evidence of adequate writing skills.
- The expectation is high-quality research and a minimum of two publications in peer-reviewed international journals.University of Manitoba
