Position: Postdoctoral Fellow – Mouse Neurodevelopment and Rare Diseases
Location: CRCHUM, Université de Montréal, Montréal, QC, Canada
Start Date: Flexible (open until filled)
Duration: 2 years (renewable based on performance and funding)
Project Overview: We have identified a novel gene involved in neurodevelopmental disorders, in collaboration with clinicians and a patient association. You will lead the in vivo functional analysis of this gene using conditional KO mouse models, with a focus on brain development, neuronal differentiation, and seizure susceptibility. All models are already generated.
Required Qualifications PhD in neuroscience, developmental biology, or related field
- Strong expertise in mouse neurodevelopment (mandatory)
- Skilled in histology, immunofluorescence, and molecular analysis of mouse brains
- Comfortable with in vivo mouse handling and genotyping
- Experience in EEG, behavior, or transcriptomic analyses is a plus
Why Join Us:
Unique opportunity to study a gene with no known function (big impact papers)
- Access to modern facilities and 19+ technical platforms at CRCHUM
- Supportive, interdisciplinary, and inclusive lab culture
- Funding includes one international and one national conference per year
- Tax-exempt postdoctoral status in Quebec
