• Analyze data, interpret results, and contribute to scientific publications.

Required profile

• PhD in biology, molecular biology, or a related biomedical science.
• Post‑doctoral experience in regeneration biology with hands‑on expertise in single‑cell spatial transcriptomics and genetic mouse models.
• Ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary team environment.

Required skills

• Single‑cell spatial transcriptomics
• Genetic mouse model manipulation
• Advanced imaging techniques

What we offer

• Annual salary of $76,128 CAD.
• One‑year fixed‑term appointment starting January 1, 2027, with possible extension.
• Opportunity to work in a vibrant, collaborative research environment at UBC.
