**Join the Canadian Food Inspection Agency**

We’re making a difference in the health and safety of all Canadians. Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) programs and services impact people’s daily lives. We need you to be part of this important and exciting work.

- **Branch/Division Name**: Science Branch, Ottawa Plant Laboratory
- **Location**: 3851 Fallowfield Road, Ottawa, ON
- **Tenure**: 2-3 years
- **Salary / Rate of Pay**: Master: $24.62 to $30.99 (Varies as per the level of education and experience.)

**Job description**

The Master’s student will conduct graduate research in-person at the CFIA Molecular Identification Research Lab under the supervision of Dr. Leonardo Galindo-González, while conducting academic studies at a University in the Ottawa area (other Universities outside this area could be explored and details would have to be worked out with the supervisor and the academic institution).

The student will work in a project using metabarcoding to increase capacity and efficiency of identification of noxious weed species. Weeds and invasive plants result in detrimental effects through competition with native or cultivated species, decreases in yield and production, changes in soil composition, reduction of local biodiversity, or introduction of pathogens. Among bottlenecks in the regulation enforcement, management and prevention of these weeds, are capacity and efficiency of detection when these weeds show up in commodities used as food and feed, or at different levels of the production chain. On the current project, we will use DNA metabarcoding to identify noxious weeds seeds from bulk seed and from the soil seed bank. The student is expected to use molecular biology and genomics techniques such as: nucleic acid extraction, PCR, high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics, among others. This project is part of a collaboration with Research Scientists from AAFC and CFIA across Ontario, Quebec and Alberta, and has already obtained funding for three years.
