Join the Team!

Laboratory staff: MitoMetabLab is currently recruiting a research assistant or research associate! Candidates for research assistant must have completed their undergraduate training (completion of college in a biotechnology or other suitable field will be considered), and an MSc would be an asset. Candidates for research associate must have completed relevant MSc training (PhD graduates not seeking a postdoctoral career path are also encouraged to apply). Interested parties should submit a cover letter, CV, and statement of research interests (for research associates only). Click here to apply and please specify assistant versus associate.

 

Postdoctoral Fellows: MitoMetabLab is not formally recruiting postdocs at this time. However, interested parties are encouraged to reach out to Dr. Dunham-Snary directly outlining research interests and training expectations. Dr. Dunham-Snary reviews every inquiry/application received!

 

PhD Students: MitoMetabLab is actively recruiting PhD students! We are seeking at least two positions in either Translational or Experimental Medicine. Queen's also has a proud tradition of promoting MSc students who demonstrate excellence in research to PhD studies and prospective students can consider enrolling in MSc studies prior to promoting to PhD studies. Interested students should apply to either Translational or Experimental Medicine, and email Dr. Dunham-Snary.

 

MSc Students: MitoMetabLab is not recruiting MSc students at this time. Watch this space for updates in the autumn regarding 2027-2028 recruitment!

 

Undergraduate Students: MitoMetabLab is currently at capacity and thus not recruiting undergraduate scholars at this time. Future recruiting will target undergraduate students interested in cellular and/or molecular biology, life sciences, and other medical and health-related fields to join the MitoMetabLab team. Molecular biology, cell culture, and/or animal research experience are assets, but not required. Please note that recruitment for these positions occurs Jan-Feb each year and the lab does not take unpaid volunteers.

​

For all positions: Dr. Dunham-Snary welcomes applications from qualified candidates regardless of citizenship status. However, Canadian citizens and permanent residents will normally be prioritized in recruitment decisions, consistent with institutional practices and funding considerations.
