About the job
This postdoctoral researcher works on organ-on-a-chip models of radiation injury and recovery at CNL's Chalk River Laboratories. The research links radiobiology, bioengineering and biodosimetry, with the aim of finding biomarkers that could support rapid screening after a mass radiation event.
The role is in the CRPEG bargaining unit. You work 37.5 hours a week, five 7.5-hour days, in offices and labs on site, with some remote work possible and travel to Western University in London, Ontario. You must be eligible for Reliability Status with Site Access clearance, which needs 3 to 5 years of verifiable history in Canada, the US, the UK, Australia or New Zealand.
What you’ll do
- Develop 3D co-culture methods for realistic in vitro models
- Identify and validate biomarkers of radiation exposure and tissue injury
- Build diagnostic models from proteomic data
- Test and refine microfluidic chips with engineering partners
- Run imaging, viability and molecular assays
- Apply statistical methods to find trends in the data
What we’re looking for
- PhD in radiation biology, bioengineering, cell biology or a related field
- Two to three years in cell or molecular biology with a record of reports and publications
- Experience mentoring students, junior researchers or technicians
- Hands-on work with mammalian cell culture and radiation biology assays
- Organ-on-a-chip, microfluidics or grant writing experience is an asset
- Eligible for Reliability Status with Site Access security clearance
