PhD students- The Guo lab- Cilia in the Brain – University of Calgary

Posted on | by Julie

The Guo Lab at the Hotchkiss Brain Institute and Alberta Children’s Hospital Research Institute, University of Calgary is seeking candidates for two PhD student positions. The long-term goal of the Guo lab is to define fundamental principles governing the functional wiring of the brain. Toward this goal, we are focused on primary cilia, signaling antennae of almost all cells in the brain. Long considered as evolutionary remnants of little significance, primary cilia in the past decade have sparked enormous interest, fueled by the discoveries that mutations in 150+ ciliary genes lead to 30+ human disorders collectively termed “ciliopathies”. The brain is particularly vulnerable to ciliary dysfunction as reflected by the prominent brain anomalies and neurological deficits associated with neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders found in ciliopathy patients. Nevertheless, due to the lack of mechanistic insights, how primary cilia can exert such a profound impact on the brain remains a long-standing mystery.

How do primary cilia, only a few um long protrusions from the cell soma, exert such a profound impact on the brain? The Guo lab is incorporating recent technical advances including single cell/nucleus RNAseq and ATACseq, human iPSCs, Serial Block face EM, mouse genetics, biochemistry, cell signaling control, in vivo 2-photon live imaging, and translational pharmacology to peel back the layers of this mystery from gene→cell→circuit→behavior→therapeutics (Guo et al., Developmental Cell 2017; Guo et al., Developmental Cell 2019; Wang et al., Nature Neuroscience 2024). The Guo lab has established a wide range of national and international collaborations. PhD students in the Guo lab have ample opportunities to learn cutting-edge technologies in molecular/cellular/system neuroscience and be co-supervised by Dr. Jeff Biernaskie (scRNAseq/ATACseq, U of C) and Dr. Grant Gordon (in vivo 2-photon imaging, U of C), Dr. Tomas Nowakowski (viral genomic technology to study the human brain, UCSF).

Project summary and responsibilities

  • Define the role of primary cilia in glial cells in development and disease, using both mouse models and human cells.
  • Analyze data from molecular, genetic, imaging, and behavioral experiments.
  • Collaborate with lab members and interdisciplinary teams at U of Calgary and internationally.

Qualifications:

  • MSc in neuroscience or a related field is highly desirable but not required.
  • Motivated, self-driven, and curious. Willing to learn many different techniques and analytical skills.
  • Excellent communication skills and interpersonal skills.
  • (highly desired but not necessary) Experience with molecular biology, scRNAseq/ATACseq, in vivo 2-photon live imaging, and mouse behavior
  • Experience with coding is an asset (e.g., R, Python, MATLAB).
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative team.

Individuals interested in this opportunity should submit the following components in a single PDF document to Dr. Jiami Guo (Jiami.guo@ucalgary.ca).

  • Letter of interest (research interests, experience, and goals (<2 pages)
  • Curriculum vitae
  • Recent publications (links)
  • Names and contact information of two or three referees (who will only be contacted if a candidate is shortlisted)

The position is located in Calgary, Alberta. Applications will be accepted until suitable candidates are identified.

Position Description

The McGill University Departments of Psychiatry in collaboration with the Douglas Research Centre (DRC) in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences is inviting applications for a full-time Contract Academic Staff position in computational genomics “omics” (i.e., genomics, epigenomics, and/or proteomics). This is a three year, renewable appointment at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor (Research) based at the Douglas Research Centre. The professorial rank will be determined according to the candidate’s qualifications and experience. This will be a Contract Academic Staff position and does not confer eligibility for tenure. The role includes establishing an independent research program and supervising students.

The McGill University Department of Psychiatry (https://www.mcgill.ca/psychiatry/) has a rich history of scientific innovation with sustained expertise in psychotherapy, substance abuse research, psychoneuroendocrinology, psychoimmunology, genetics, epigenetics, advanced brain imaging, and now single-cell neurobiology. It remains a global leader in integrating cutting-edge science with clinical practice to train future psychiatric researchers and clinicians.

With over 55 researchers spanning a full range of mental health research (i.e., neuroscience, clinical services, policy, and epidemiology/population health), the Douglas Research Centre (DRC) has been an international leader in mental health research for more than 40 years. The DRC has been at the forefront of pioneering innovative methods in the field of psychiatry, including single-cell neurobiology and is an integral member of the SCGBI research program focused on using single-cell approaches to gain insights into the brain and its related disorders. Together, with the recently acquired resources and the strong ties between the DRC, the Montreal Neurological Institute (The Neuro) and The Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research (LDI), this program is poised to maintain McGill’s global leadership in Neuroscience.

McGill is one of Canada’s leading research-intensive universities, with students from over 140 countries. The university is located in Montreal, a cosmopolitan city with great cultural and linguistic diversity. It has long been considered a leader in neuroscience and a strong innovator in methods that support a wide spectrum of basic and clinical research endeavours. The university’s strong training programs in Biological and Biomedical Engineering, Psychiatry, and Quantitative Life Sciences as well as the Integrated Program in Neuroscience favour the development of strong multidisciplinary research teams.
 

Job Duties

The successful candidate has a keen research interest in computational single-cell neurobiology; they possess expertise in bioinformatics, computer science, computational genomics, programming and/or mathematics. Scientists focusing on computational integration of large-scale functional and comparative multi-omic datasets, tool development and AI approaches are especially encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to the advancement of the recently funded Ludmer Centre’s Single-Cell Genomics Brain Initiative (SCGBI):

https://www.mcgill.ca/ludmercentre/our-research/scgbi)

The role includes establishing an independent research program, supervising students, contributing to formal classroom teaching at McGill, and the possibility of obtaining memberships in additional departments (if applicable). The successful candidate will also be expected to conduct rigorous cutting-edge research, therefore augmenting the existing efforts of the Douglas Research Center. The incumbent will develop a fundamental, disease-relevant research program in their own areas of expertise, aligned with the strategic priorities of the Research Centre and the McGill University Department of Psychiatry.

The successful candidate will be expected to independently acquire funds to support the training of graduate students at the M.Sc. and Ph.D. level. The incumbent will also be expected to disseminate research findings through peer-reviewed publications and other knowledge translation and exchange activities, participate and be actively involved in all aspects of the Research Centre and McGill’s academic mission, and demonstrate a strong commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion in all areas (i.e., research, teaching, supervision of students and residents, and involvement in academic and administrative committees).

McGill faculty members are expected to contribute to service activities within their units, the University, and the wider scholarly community. A demonstrated commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion is also expected.

Qualifications and Education Requirements

Candidates must:

  • Have a PhD in Computational genomics, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics or a related field;
