Postdoctoral Position

The Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization, a research institute at the University of Saskatchewan, is seeking Post Doctoral Fellows to work in a variety of projects focused on mechanisms of pathogenesis, immunomodulation, genomics, vaccine development and vaccine formulation and delivery. VIDO's research activities are focused on multidisciplinary approaches to the control of infectious diseases in animals and humans through the development of novel vaccines and therapeutics plus methods for their use. The Organization provides a stimulating collaborative environment in a variety of disciplines, including molecular microbiology, immunology, genomics and proteomics, cell biology and clinical research.

A postdoctoral position is available immediately to work on an international collaborative project between VIDO and other organizations in Canada, USA and South Korea. The broad objective of the project is to capitalize on the link between innate and adaptive immunity to develop effective strategies for neonatal immunization. We are looking for a highly motivated candidate to strengthen our vaccine formulation and delivery program.

The preferred candidate should have a Ph.D in Pharmaceutical/immunological sciences or related areas. Training and/or experience in novel vaccine delivery technologies will be an asset. He/she is expected to be able to work independently but also as part of a team.

Interested candidates should direct applications, including a curriculum vitae and three names of references to:
