Joining the lab
Grad student positions
Applications to join the lab at the master's or Ph.D. level are always welcome. We study plant disease resistance mechanisms with an emphasis on anti-viral defense responses and plant-bacteria interactions. Projects focus on the receptor-like proteins that recognize pathogens and their interplay with RNAi-related mechanisms in anti-viral defenses, as well as studying the underlying mechanisms of gene regulation. Students will employ a variety of genetic, NGS, biochemical and cell biology techniques.
Specific potential projects include: analysis of anti-viral resistance including NLR, RNAi and other anti-viral mechanisms; effector-mediated susceptibility in plant-bacteria interactions; investigation of how bacteria induce microenvironments to their benefit in infected plants.
Undergraduate researchers
Applications to join the lab are always welcome either for research credits or for summer or co-op internships. Undergrads are usually given their own project within the framework of a larger project paired with either a graduate student or postdoc. See below for links to funding agencies for Canadian and International students.
Postdoctoral Positions
Postdoc projects (as outlined above) are available at most times. However, although funds are available to cover research costs, for salary support postdoc candidates should have fellowships (or a strong chance of obtaining one). See below for links to funding agencies.
To apply:
Please send the following:
-A cover letter outlining your career and research goals
