Training Opportunities
Karwi Lab Training Opportunity
The Karwi Lab is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral scholar to join our cell energy metabolism research group within the Division of BioMedical Sciences at Memorial University of Newfoundland (St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada).
The lab has numerous projects centred on mitochondrial energy metabolism and its role in cardiometabolic diseases. These projects employ discovery-based approaches to identify novel genes and mitochondrial processes that drive heart failure and metabolic stress (obesity, diabetes, metabolic syndrome). We employ numerous techniques spanning cell and molecular biology through whole-animal physiology and metabolic flux tracing, from in vitro cell work to generating mutant mice and surgical disease models.
If you are interested in this opportunity, please reach out to Dr. Qutuba Karwi with a copy of your CV.
The Karwi Lab is excited to welcome graduate students who are interested in studying how modulating energy metabolism in the heart and immune cells can impact the occurrence and severity of cardiometabolic diseases. Our research program utilizes cutting-edge techniques in clinical translational settings to delve into this important research. If you're interested in learning more, please contact Dr. Qutuba Karwi.
Professor Guangju Zhai at Memorial University of Newfoundland has an opening for an enthusiastic postdoctoral genetic epidemiologist to work on multi-omics study of osteoarthritis and other common disorders. If interested in more information, please see the following postdoctoral researcher position document.
The Esseltine Lab has open positions for graduate students interested in studying rare genetic diseases using patient-derived stem cells. PhD students preferred, but exceptional MSc candidates will also be considered. If interested please contact Dr. Jessica Esseltine.
The Stachniak Lab is currently seeking an M.Sc/Ph.D. Student to help design and test optogenetic tools for neuroscience. Previous electrophysiology experience is an asset but not required. For further information, please contact tstachniak@mun.ca
