I am currently recruiting graduate students to join a dynamic and growing research team. If you are interested in joining my team please read and respond to the opportunities. 

(N03.2023) Graduate Students (MSc/PhD) – to take on genomic and biomarker centric research on endometriosis. Optimal candidates will have experience with PCR-based methods, sequencing, next-generation sequencing, and/or IHC. Candidates should have a working knowledge of female anatomy and physiology, especially around uterine and ovarian biology. Experience with histopathology and recognizing different cell types under a microscope is highly beneficial. Candidates should have strong grades in statistics. Candidates must have a strong work ethic, and be able to work independently (problem solve) and be effective in a dynamic team environment.

(PA01.2023) Graduate Students (MSc) – to take on a novel project examining molecular changes associated with uterine aging. The candidate should have experience with PCR-based methods, sequencing, and next-generation sequencing. Knowledge of female reproductive biology is an asset as is familiarity with medical/pathology nomenclature and terminology. In addition to molecular analysis, the candidate will work with other groups to analyze health care records and health services utilization. Candidates should have strong grades in statistics. Candidates must have a strong work ethic, and be able to work independently (problem solve) and be effective in a dynamic team environment.

Applications that are not relevant to our research group, and applicants that do not apply for the advertised positions, may not receive a reply.

For graduate trainee applicants please keep in mind application deadlines are many months in advance of study start dates. See more information at the Women+ and Children’s Health Sciences (WACH) program website https://wach.med.ubc.ca/ 

Prospective students and postdocs should send their applications along with their research interests, CV and transcript with at least their last three years of academic performance. Please only send an application if your research interests align to current projects in the lab. Please do not send applications for projects unrelated to listed laboratory projects.
