**The opportunity**:
The COVID-19 pandemic revealed significant gaps in Canada's capacity to produce vaccines. The project team is a multidisciplinary prairie-wide team representing Universities of Manitoba (UM), Alberta (UA), Calgary and VIDO to support Canada's pandemic readiness. The team will establish a Viral Vaccine Research and Development cluster centered around the PRAIRIE Hub. The cluster will develop a collection of virus-vectored and protein vaccine platforms that fulfill distinct outcomes such as efficacy, side effects minimization, ease of manufacturing and public perception. The project team, collaborators, partners, and advisors bring vast expertise in virology, immunology, infectious disease pathologies, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and bioprocessing to deliver several virus vector platforms, recombinant protein vaccine platforms, a one-of-a kind comparative vaccine analysis pipeline, and a manufacturing process development pipeline. To further strengthen Canada’s vaccine production capacity, infrastructure is requested to establish a new biosecure Prairie Biologics Accelerator facility and a CL3 lab (UM) for vaccine development, pre-clinical testing, bioprocess development, diagnostics research, and training.

The Project Administration Lead will work closely with the principal investigators, and the entire project team to provide leadership and use their experience to guide the team in meeting and exceeding project goals. This is an in-person position located at the Fort Garry campus.
