Matthew Macauley

Postdoctoral Fellow opportunity at the University of Alberta in the Macauley Lab , working in the general areas of glycobiology and glycomics . The lab studies the role of the Siglec family of immunomodulatory glycan-binding receptors in human health and disease, with a strong focus on understanding how Siglecs influence cancer immunity . The successful candidate will join a highly interdisciplinary environment at the Gunning/Lemieux Chemistry Centre and will work on projects related to discovering roles for Siglec in cancer. The research includes understanding biological ligands of Siglecs on cancer cells and applying innovative glycomics approaches such as proximity labelling and mass spectrometry . The position is also connected to GlycoNet Integrated Services to help advance technologies for the broader research community. Eligibility highlights: applicants must hold a Ph.D. in chemical biology , biochemistry , or a related field. Prior experience with cell culture , glycomics , microscopy (including immunohistochemical techniques), and biochemical techniques is highly desirable. The ideal candidate should demonstrate excellent laboratory skills, independence, resourcefulness, strong communication and organizational skills, and a proven publication record. The appointment is for one year with the possibility of renewal. The post mentions that funding through multiple sources is in place to advance the research program. Applications are accepted until May 15 . To apply, email your CV , a brief cover letter , and the names of 3 potential references to Dr. Macauley.

Postdoctoral Fellow opportunity in the Macauley Lab at the University of Alberta (Canada) in the areas of glycobiology , glycomics , chemical biology , and biochemistry . The lab studies the role of the Siglec family of immunomodulatory glycan-binding receptors in human health and disease, with a particular focus on cancer-related biology and glycan-mediated mechanisms. The successful fellow will work in a highly interdisciplinary environment and lead projects on discovering roles for Siglecs in cancer, understanding biological ligands of Siglecs on cancer cells, and coupling these questions with innovative glycomics approaches such as proximity labelling and mass spectrometry. The position is connected to GlycoNet Integrated Services and benefits from collaborations across the University of Alberta, the Department of Chemistry, and the broader Canadian glycoscience community. Eligibility highlights: a Ph.D. in chemical biology, biochemistry, or a related field; completed graduate research relevant to the project; prior experience with cell culture, glycomics/mass spectrometry, microscopy, immunohistochemistry, and biochemical techniques; strong laboratory, communication, and organizational skills; independence and resourcefulness; and a strong publication record. Funding: funding from multiple sources is already in place. The appointment is for one year with the possibility of renewal. No stipend amount is listed. Application deadline: May 15.
