About this position

The University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver, Canada, invites applications for a full-time Research Associate position in neural stem cell biology and brain repair.

Working under the supervision of Dr. Freda Miller in the Michael Smith Laboratories, the successful researcher will investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms that enable limited mammalian brain repair. The project focuses on neural stem cells and microglia in mouse models of brain repair.

The researcher will apply single-cell multiomics, including spatial transcriptomics, to define relevant cell-type responses and molecular mechanisms. The role is suited to candidates with strong expertise in neuroscience, molecular and cellular biology, neural stem cells, regenerative biology, transcriptomic analysis, and genetic mouse models.

Applicants should hold a PhD in biology, molecular biology, or a related biomedical sciences discipline. Postdoctoral experience with single-cell spatial transcriptomics and genetic mouse models applied to mammalian brain repair is required, along with effective teamwork and English communication skills.

The position offers an expected salary of $79,872 per annum and a comprehensive benefits package. The initial one-year appointment is expected to begin January 2, 2027, with possible extension subject to performance and funding. Applications, including a CV, publication list, and tailored cover letter, must be submitted through the UBC Workday portal by December 1, 2026.
