JOIN OUR LAB
We are always considering applications for postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, undergraduate students and high school students. We especially welcome and encourage applications from historically underrepresented, and systemically excluded groups such as Indigenous peoples, racialized and visible minorities, persons with disabilities, and all genders and sexual identities. You are encouraged to apply if you are a highly motivated and hard-working individual interested in pursuing research in the extracellular vesicle and mitochondrial biogenesis fields. We can teach all the skills you need to succeed - you just need to bring motivation, excellent work ethics, discipline and passion!
For more information please email Dr. Ayesha Saleem at ayesha.saleem@umanitoba.ca to discuss currently available opportunities.
Please include the following in your email:
• A cover letter describing why you want to work in the Saleem Lab.
• Your CV.
• A copy of your transcript (unofficial is fine) that includes the cGPA.
• Details of any previous lab or research experience.
• An example of output from previous research experience (a poster or a paper).
• A one-page document with 3 aims for prospective projects in the lab. Please include the rationale for each aim and a few lines on methodology. It shouldn't be more than one page, maximum. It has to relate to — and fit within — our research goals.
Selected participants will be invited to interview with Dr. Saleem. Decisions will be based on performance in the initial interview, past training, fit with the lab, and space/funding availability. Prospective graduate and postdoctoral applicants will also be invited to meet with current members of the Saleem Lab and present their previous research at our lab meeting.
