1. Postdoctoral fellow: Physics of Cell Biology
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowships:
Aidan Brown is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at Toronto Metropolitan University in Toronto, Canada. The Physics of Cellular Systems research group, led by Dr. Brown, focuses on understanding the physical limits and mechanisms for processes inside living cells. The group’s work combines quantitative modeling of cell biology with simulations and analytical theory, as well as close collaboration with experimental researchers. More information about the research group, including a list of recent publications, is available on the group website.
2. Postdoctoral Positions
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowships:
This is a very exciting opportunity to collaborate in a highly interdisciplinary group while working on innovative aircraft concepts. In collaboration with Environment and Climate Change Canada, the Ryerson Applied Aerodynamics Laboratory of Flight is studying the feasibility of surveying wildlife habitats using a small airborne system. Such a system will provide data for informed and balanced policy decisions related to wildlife management. Our focus will be on the design, fabrication and testing of the aircraft. The surveying platform is based on an existing solar-powered aircraft, external link that weighs about 15 kg, has a 6.3-m wingspan and has successfully completed several long-duration flights exceeding ten hours.
3. Postdoctoral Positions
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowships:
Applications are invited for a one-year, full-time Post-Doctoral Fellow (PDF) position to work with Principal Investigator (PI) Dr. Ian Young in the School of Occupational and Public Health, Ryerson University. The position will involve conducting epidemiological modelling research to investigate the impact of extreme weather events on the burden of gastrointestinal illness in Ontario. The PDF will work closely with the PI, research assistants, and collaborators to conduct a time-series analysis of the association between extreme weather events and related factors (e.g., power outages) on the incidence of gastrointestinal illness. The PDF will also be involved in other ongoing research activities in this area. The PDF will have an opportunity to develop conference presentations and scientific manuscripts, as well as supervise student research assistants.
4. Postdoctoral Positions
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowships:
Applications are invited for a one-year, full-time Post-Doctoral Fellow (PDF) position to work with Principal Investigators (PIs) Drs. Sekercioglu, Young, and Meldrum in the School of Occupational and Public Health, Ryerson University. The project title is “Examining the Multidimensional Aspects of Quality of Work for Public Health Professionals in Canada”. The position will involve conducting mixed-methods research (surveys, interviews, focus groups) to explore the issues that need to be considered regarding ‘quality of work’ (Q of W) in Canada focusing on environmental public health professionals. The project will formulate a general holistic framework for envisioning an integrated future of work.
