05 Postdoctoral Fellowship at University of Toronto, Ontario, Canada

The Department of Molecular Genetics in the Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto invites applications for the position of Research Associate (Limited Term) to design and lead research projects in the area of microbiology, functional genomics, chemical genomics, and antimicrobial drug resistance. Specifically, the program will focus on the molecular mechanisms by which metabolic flexibility controls virulence traits in fungal pathogens.

We are seeking an experienced Materials Chemist with advanced scientific and technical expertise at both the graduate and post-graduate levels. The ideal candidate will possess a strong background in the design, synthesis, modeling, fabrication, multi-technique analysis, and testing of photocatalyst and photoreactor architectures. This role involves optimizing the capture of incident light while minimizing parasitic light losses in the photocatalyst and photoreactor to drive gas-phase heterogeneous conversion of hydrogen carriers into hydrogen and valuable co-products.

Key responsibilities include ensuring high energy, carbon, and environmental efficiency, while prioritizing long-term stability and scalability of the photocatalysts and photoreactor systems. The successful candidate will lead the research project, conduct research, collect and analyze data and produce reports/papers.

A Research Associate position is available at the Department of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry, University of Toronto in the area of biomaterial hydrogels and therapeutic delivery as related to overcoming stroke and/or spinal cord injury, in conjunction with developing the regulatory strategy and manufacturing approach for relevant advanced products with external advisors. This position is a part of collaborative research project within the Shoichet research lab.

U of T Mississauga—the second largest campus of Canada’s top-ranked university and the only research university in Ontario’s booming Peel Region—is one of the world’s great catalysts of human potential.

Our employee community hums with the energy of 3,400 faculty, librarians and staff, who power our campus with curiosity, connection and care. We work together to spark life-changing research and innovation, make an indelible mark on the world by building equitable cities and societies, enable healthy lives, create a sustainable future and ignite entrepreneurship. Above all, we prioritize student success, and seek to give our 16,500 students the lift of a lifetime through learning and discovery. We love to open opportunities available nowhere else for our community to achieve their ambitions and make their unique contributions to Canada and the world. 

This work all comes together on a spectacularly green campus, alongside the Missinihe-ziibi (Trusting Creek or Credit River), where we seek to honour truth, reciprocity and reconciliation on the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, Seneca and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. We’re thrilled to welcome those who want to learn more about us and to be part of what we do.

The Microscopy Imaging Lab in the Temerty Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto invites applications for the position of Research Associate to oversee the daily operations of a state-of-the-art Cryo-Electron Microscopy (cryo-EM) facility, as well as design and lead groundbreaking research projects in the area of structural biology, cryo-EM imaging and computational data processing.
