This is a very competitive call so we are looking for relevant experience in immunology wet lab research, strong GPA and/or academic history, and excellent publication/presentation record.The Impact+ postdoctoral call is a 1-time government investment to recruit international post docs, or Canadians who trained outside Canada and want to return.

You must have completed your PhD in immunology or a related discipline (eg genetics, biochemistry, physiology, microbiology) in 2024 or 2025. Outside this period will not be considered.
Our lab website gives an overview of our work in type III IFNs with other updates on my profile.
An application would consist of a CV, detailed cover letter outlining why the University of Manitoba and why my lab for a post doc and description of type III IFN research interests based on a literature review of gaps in the field. We have funding for both antiviral immunity and inflammatory bowel diseases immunoregulation. The project needs to have a health focus for the final application.

Please email me directly your application package and they will be reviewed as received. Only those selected for an interview will be contacted and the interview would need to be completed next week. If successful in the competition, the candidate would need to move to Canada in early 2027 at the latest. If not chosen by our university to go forward, I will still consider a future position in my lab. Thanks!
