Tenure-track position in Parasitology: Canada Research Chair (Tier II)
The Institute of Parasitology at McGill University (http://www.mcgill.ca/parasitology/) seeks to
appoint a tenure-track Assistant/Associate Professor with expertise in the area of Parasite
Immunology. The appointee will hold a PhD or equivalent with postdoctoral experience, a
demonstrated record of success in research and potential for excellence in teaching in the broad
area of immunology of parasitic infections commensurate with earning the award of a Tier II
Canada Research Chair (http://www.chairs-chaires.gc.ca/home-accueil-eng.aspx). We seek
applicants with a history of excellent publications and a record of grant success in
immunoparasitology. Applications are encouraged from scientists working on parasites of
veterinary importance, especially those related to food safety and/or security, but applications
from researchers in other areas of immunoparasitology will be considered. The appointee will
develop a research program supported by external funds and will participate in undergraduate
and graduate teaching in the Faculty. The appointee will become a member of the FQRNT
Centre for Host-Parasite Interactions (http://www.mcgill.ca/chpi/). McGill has a large and
dynamic community of researchers focused on parasitic infections, including genomics,
proteomics, imaging, drug research and clinical applications in which to establish collaborative
projects. The Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences at McGill
(http://www.mcgill.ca/macdonald/) has robust research programs in relevant areas of research
and is building new programs in food safety and food security. McGill University is an English
language institution functioning in a bilingual environment. Candidates should forward a CV, a
