lab members
We are building a diverse team of scientists. Research in the lab bridges spatial genomics, cell & developmental biology, computational biology, biochemistry & systems biology.
OPEN POSITIONS:
A) Post-doc: Ideal for a candidate with substantial computational biology skills demonstrated by publication record. The postdoc will lead an HFSP-funded project on ‘spatial translatomics during development’ in collaboration with two other labs (France & UK). Start date: January 2026.
B) PhD students: Ideal for curious and motivated students interested in studying the functional roles of genome organization during embryonic development. Graduate students in our lab have the option to enrich their Biochemistry degree by joining the Collaborative Specialization in Developmental Biology or the Collaborative Specialization in Genome Biology and Bioinformatics. Start date: September annually
All positions will be full-time, in-person at our lab in MaRS (downtown Toronto, Ontario).
If you are interested in the Postdoc position, please reach out to ahilya.sawh@utoronto.ca directly by email including:
- Statement of interest (Why are you interested in our lab? Why are you an ideal candidate?).
- Detailed CV.
- Names and contact information for 3 (preferably academic) referees, indicating how long you have known each referee and in what capacity.
If you are interested in graduate studies with us, you must first apply to and be accepted into the rotation-based Biochemistry program at the University of Toronto.
