Open positions

Postdoctoral Positions

We currently don’t have funding for additional postdoctoral positions. We can only welcome you if you have a fellowship. I’d be happy to help you develop a proposal if you are a good fit for the lab. Take a look at the Killam, Canada Postdoctoral Research Awards, or Dalhousie’s Donald Hill Fellowship

PhD Studentship

We currently don’t have open positions for PhD students without their own funding.

Masters Studentships

We currently don’t have open positions for Masters students without their own funding.

Research in Medicine or Residency Research Projects

If you are a medical student or resident that wishes to do a research project related to infectious diseases or medical microbiology (such as genomic/epidemiological/bioinformatics projects related to zoonotic viruses, antimicrobial resistance, or infection prevention and control) please send me an email and we can have a chat!

Undergraduate Project Students

If you are interested in pursuing a summer internship or honours project, please send me an email early in the academic year so we can apply for funding to pay you (e.g., NSERC USRA). State why you are interested, the sort of project you would like to do, and attach your CV. If you are applying to fulfill specific program requirements (e.g., honours), note this in your email!

Current projects that would be a good fit (although if you have your own idea please get in touch):

• Clinical use of genomics for antimicrobial resistance
• Genomically-informed outbreak detection
• Highly pathogenic avian influenza
• Wildlife-associated coronaviruses
