Saskatoon, Canada University of Saskatchewan Full time

**Postdoctoral Fellow - Mucosal Vaccines**:
The Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization (VIDO), Canada’s Centre for Pandemic Research, is a world leader in

infectious disease research and vaccine development for humans and animals. Located at the University of Saskatchewan

in Saskatoon, Canada, VIDO is home to one of the largest and most advanced containment level 3 facilities in the world.

To strengthen the preparedness for emerging infectious diseases we are currently expanding our infrastructure to

include containment level 4 capacity, a GMP vaccine manufacturing facility, and a new animal housing facility. Our vision

includes having the capacity to study any emerging disease in any animal model embracing a One Health approach to

prevent emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases in humans and animals.

**Position Summary**

Dr. Aneesh Thakur, Principal Investigator, Laboratory of Vaccine Engineering, and Immunology (LVEI) is seeking an

outstanding Postdoctoral Fellow focusing on subunit mucosal vaccine formulation and delivery to join his team.

The ability to induce airway mucosal immunity is an essential property of future subunit vaccines because several

pathogens, e.g., respiratory viruses and Mycobacterium tuberculosis enter the human body via the airways. It is well

known that protection against these pathogens requires activation of the mucosal immune system, which can only be

primed via mucosal vaccine administration. However, little is known about how to design safe nanoparticle-based

subunit vaccines optimal for the induction of airway mucosal immunity. The purpose of this project is to elucidate the

essential design criteria for protective immunity by inhalable subunit vaccines intended for safe pulmonary

administration. The project will combine approaches in formulation, pharmaceutical nanotechnology, imaging, and

immunology to achieve the objectives.

**Qualifications**
- ** **Completion of PhD (in the past three years) in Pharmacy, Biochemistry, Immunology, or another related
- discipline
- Strong background in drug delivery, formulation, immunology, and/or vaccinology
- Hands-on experience with nanoparticle formulation, cell culture, and animal experiments
- Team player with excellent oral and written communication skills
- Effective organizational and time management skills
- Experience working with biosafety level 3 pathogens is an asset.

**Department**: VIDO
**Status**: Term
**Employment Group**: Post-Doctoral Fellows - PSAC
**Full Time Equivalent (FTE)**: 1
