PhD Scholarship in Mitochondria Biology Laboratory - Laval University

Overview

Applications are invited for the post of PhD student in the Mitochondria Biology Laboratory @ Laval University (Quebec City), one of the Top 10 Canadian universities. Our laboratory offers a stimulating research environment with excellent technical equipment in a recently completely renovated building that hosts world-class scientists working on a broad spectrum of disciplines related to neurosciences.

Our two main objectives are: 1) to understand the molecular mechanisms implicated in neurodegenerative diseases caused by mitochondrial dysfunctions, such as Parkinson's disease, optic nerve atrophy, and more; 2) to train quality students that want to pursue a successful career in science.

We seek to expand our lab by adding at least one new team member. We are interested in finding a highly motivated student with excellent education record and that is interested in joining us in continuing our world-renowned research on the role of proteolysis in the regulation of mitochondrial activities.

The candidate we are looking for must hold a MSc or equivalent diploma in a field related to genetics/cell biology/biochemistry and show in her/his cover letter that s/he is smart, knows our published work, and understands what it takes to succeed in science.

Starting salary will be $20,000 (CAD) per year, which is more than sufficient to cover standard living costs in Quebec City and PhD tuition fees at Laval University.
