Title: Postdoctoral Fellow Position at the University of Alberta

Barakat's research group at the University of Alberta is hiring a Postdoctoral Fellow (PDF) with a strong background in cell-based functional assays and biochemical binding assays (specifically BLI/SPR or similar techniques). The role involves several key responsibilities: leading the experimental validation of small-molecule modulators designing and optimizing a variety of cell-based assays related to viability, proliferation, and signaling conducting protein-ligand interaction studies collaborating with computational scientists and medicinal chemists. The ideal candidate will have a PhD in a relevant field such as Cell Biology, Immunology, Biochemistry, or Pharmacology, completed within the last three years. Applicants should have a proven track record in both cell-based and binding assays and possess excellent teamwork and communication skills. To apply, candidates must submit a single PDF document to kbarakat@ualberta.ca. The application package should include a cover letter, a CV, two first-author publications demonstrating relevant expertise, and contact information for three professional references. This position offers a great opportunity for a talented researcher to contribute to significant scientific work in a collaborative environment.
