About the role
Our research focuses on delineating molecular mechanisms that regulate neural stem cell reprogramming and differentiation, with the ultimate goal of the development of stem cell- based therapy to promote neural repair in the context of various neurological disorders. The individual filling this position is particularly involved in the ongoing project focusing on ischemia-induced neural reprogramming and its underlying mechanisms, supported by Heart and Stroke Foundation Grant. A variety of molecular, cellular, and behavioral techniques are used in the laboratory, including transgenic mouse models, primary cell culture, stereotaxic surgery, and transcriptomic analysis, etc.
Basic Requirements (Education/Experience):
- PhD
- Experience in rodent stroke models, stereotaxic surgery, Cell Biology (cell line or primary cell culture, immunohistochemistry and immunocytochemistry) and in vivo animal study.
- Excellence in research with strong publication records
- Excellent written and oral communication skills
- Self-motivated and strong desire to learn
Preferred Qualifications:
- Primary rodent/human cell culture experience is an asset
Contract Details:
This is a 1-year full-time contract with the possibility of renewal.
Salary: PDF (0-2 years post-PhD) Minimum Annual Stipend – $49,621
Salary: PDF (more than 2 years post-PhD) Minimum Annual Stipend – $52,787

The Ottawa Hospital Research Institute is committed to building and sustaining a welcoming and supportive culture that promotes equity, diversity and inclusion for trainees, researchers, and staff. We are devoted to identifying and removing barriers that limit equitable access to opportunities within our organization. The Ottawa Hospital Research Institute strongly supports initiatives that encourage the participation of all groups, in particular the four groups defined in the Employment Equity Act (women, Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities and members of visible minorities).
We thank all applicants for their interest. However, only those invited for an interview will be contacted. The Ottawa Hospital Research Institute is an equal-opportunity employer. Upon request, accommodations due to a disability are available throughout the selection process.
About The Ottawa Hospital
The Ottawa Hospital is one of Canada’s largest learning and research hospitals, with more than 1,100 beds, approximately 12,000 staff members and an annual budget of about $1.2 billion.
Our focus on learning and research helps us develop new and innovative ways to treat patients and improve care. As a multi-campus hospital affiliated with the University of Ottawa, we deliver specialized care to the Eastern Ontario region, but our techniques and research discoveries are adopted around the world. We engage the community at all levels to support our vision for better patient care.
From the compassion of our people to the relentless pursuit of new discoveries, The Ottawa Hospital never stops seeking solutions to the most complex health-care challenges.
L’Hôpital d’Ottawa Inspiré par la recherche. Guidé par la compassion.
L’Hôpital d’Ottawa est l’un des plus importants hôpitaux d’enseignement et de recherche au Canada. Il est doté de plus de 1 100 lits, d’un effectif de quelque 12 000 personnes et d’un budget annuel d’environ 1,2 milliard de dollars.
L’enseignement et la recherche étant au cœur de nos activités, nous possédons les outils qui nous permettent d’innover et d’améliorer les soins aux patients. Affilié à l’Université d’Ottawa, l’Hôpital fournit sur plusieurs campus des soins spécialisés à la population de l’Est de l’Ontario. Cela dit, nos techniques de pointe et les fruits de nos recherches sont adoptés partout dans le monde. Notre vision consiste à améliorer la qualité des soins et nous mobilisons l’appui de toute la collectivité pour mieux y parvenir.
Par la compassion de son personnel et la quête perpétuelle de nouvelles découvertes, L’Hôpital d’Ottawa cherche sans relâche des solutions aux défis les plus complexes en santé.
