About this position
Research Associate in Mammalian Regeneration at the University of British Columbia (UBC), Vancouver, Canada.
This opening is for a Research Associate position in the Michael Smith Laboratories working under Dr. Freda Miller. The project focuses on mammalian regeneration, specifically defining the cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate digit tip regeneration.
The successful candidate will use single cell spatial transcriptomics, genetic mouse models, and cutting-edge imaging technologies to study how the digit tip acquires its unique regenerative capacity. The role is embedded in a collaborative environment at UBC and connects with broader research in stem cells and regenerative biology.
Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold a PhD in biology, molecular biology, or a related biomedical sciences field. Prior experience in regeneration biology is required, along with postdoctoral experience using single-cell spatial transcriptomics and genetic mouse models in mammalian tissue regeneration. Strong teamwork skills are emphasized.
Funding and appointment: the expected salary is $76,128 per year. The appointment begins on January 1, 2027, is initially for one year, and may be extended depending on satisfactory performance and funding.
Application deadline: November 15, 2026 (applications accepted until 11:59 PM on the posting end date).
How to apply: submit a CV, publication list, and cover letter through the UBC Careers portal. Canadian citizens and permanent residents are given priority, and the posting also notes UBC’s equity and diversity commitment.
