Research Associate in Transcriptomic Analysis of Brain Repair . The Michael Smith Laboratories at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, invites applications for a full-time Research Associate term position in neural stem cell biology and brain repair to work under the supervision of Dr. Freda Miller. The successful candidate will use single cell multiomic approaches, including spatial transcriptomics, to analyze murine brain repair models, with a particular focus on neural stem cells and microglia. Project : While the mammalian brain does not normally repair well, under some circumstances there is a limited repair capacity. For this project, the Research Associate will work with other researchers in the Miller laboratory to define the cellular and molecular mechanisms that allow this somewhat limited repair, and will define the relevant cell type responses, with a particular focus on neural stem cells and microglia.
