We are actively recruiting creative and motivated researchers to join our group! Wisnovsky lab trainees can expect to receive training in basic molecular biology and immunology techniques as well in cutting-edge areas like high-throughput functional genomics and next-generation sequencing. We aim to equip trainees with the scientific, communication and leadership skills needed to achieve all their goals.

Prospective graduate students should send a copy of their CV and undergraduate transcripts to Simon. Depending on interest, they should also consult the UBC Pharmaceutical Sciences Masters and/or PhD program application timeline and requirements.

Prospective postdoctoral researchers interested in joining the group should send Simon a CV, cover letter and contact information for three references. We especially welcome applications from researchers with prior experience in genetic screening and/or immunology.

We are also happy to consider research assistant positions (e.g., co-op work terms or summer research projects through the UBC Pharm Sci SSRP) for senior undergraduates interested in an intensive, full-time research experience prior to applying to graduate or medical school. Candidates for these positions must have prior research experience in a biomedical setting and be competitive for external scholarships such as the NSERC USRA.

Finally, we welcome applications from motivated junior undergraduate students looking to gain lab experience through part-time WorkLearn positions and/or Directed Studies projects. We typically do not take on students for unpaid volunteer positions. Please email Simon directly to learn about any upcoming possible opportunities.

The Wisnovsky lab is committed to maintaining a diverse, inclusive and collegial working environment. We welcome researchers of all races, ethnicities, sexual orientations and gender identities.
