Job Title: Research Associate in 3D Human Tissue Bioprinting for Modeling Neurodegenerative Disorders

The University of British Columbia is seeking a highly skilled Research Associate to join our team in the Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health. The successful candidate will work under the supervision of Professor Haakon Nygaard in the department of Neurology in the Faculty of Medicine.

Job Summary

The position involves developing and implementing research studies related to the cellular processes associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia. The candidate will maintain and advance a robust protocol for 3D bioprinting of iPSC-derived neurons, astrocytes, and microglia to study the pathophysiology of AD and FTD in a 3D environment.

Responsibilities
  • Design and implement research studies and related programs, including planning, managing, producing, and analyzing data.
  • Communicate with wet lab scientists in the day-to-day activities, including data collection, quality control, data cleaning, data analysis, and presentation.

  • Maintain safe and clean lab spaces.
  • Mentor and teach graduate, undergraduate, and Co-op students.
Requirements

The successful candidate will have a PhD in the field of neuroscience or a related field, and at least 2 years of post-doctoral training in hiPSC 3D extrusion-based bioprinting. Proven skills using hiPSCs studying the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative or other CNS disorders are required. Strong analysis skills, ability to work professionally with colleagues, donors, and staff, and compliance with approved procedures and ethics regulations are essential.

What We Offer

The University of British Columbia offers a competitive salary and benefits package, as well as opportunities for professional development and growth. The successful candidate will work in a dynamic and collaborative environment with a team of experienced researchers and scientists.
