Coastal Mangroves in Eastern and Western Africa offer coastal communities much-needed ecosystem services and protection against key climate change risks, including risks to low-lying coastal-ecological systems, risks to terrestrial and ocean ecosystems, and as a result, risks to food security. Coastal communities are particularly vulnerable to climate change impacts because of (1) their location being highly exposed to sea level rise and erosion, (2) poor socio-economic conditions, and (3) their high dependence on mangrove ecosystems. Coastal Mangroves however are highly threatened both by anthropogenic and climate change pressures. The main objective of the project (CoastMan) is co-production and uptake of a Multi-Criteria Decision Support System (DSS) that provides vulnerable communities and decision-makers a knowledge-based decision-making capacity for the restoration and conservation of socio-ecological systems. An interdisciplinary and trans sectoral team is established from researchers and stakeholders from across three continents (North America, Europe, and Africa), in partnership with vulnerable groups to co-develop and uptake a DSS to promote mitigation and strategies that enhance the adaptive capacities of the mangrove socio-ecological systems in Eastern and Western Africa.

You’ll also evaluate system performance in both simulated and real surgical environments. Working closely with a diverse team of engineers, researchers, and surgeons, your contributions can seamlessly integrate into an existing commercial product. Furthermore, your research findings will be submitted for publication in peer-reviewed journals.

At MéridaLabs, we are recruiting a motivated and solution-oriented postdoctoral fellow (PDF). Our group focuses on integrated energy systems research that encompasses breakthrough technologies, policy, energy conversion, new business models, techno-economic and life cycle analyses, machine learning, optimization, AI, intelligent networks, among others.

The PDF will join an ongoing project studying production of green hydrogen via high temperature and pressure (HTP) water electrolysis being investigated through a custom-built HTP reactor. This work departs from traditional water electrolysis conditions, and seeks to assess component behaviour and system performance under HTP conditions. Part of this work will be carried out in collaboration with the University of Quebec at Trois Rivieres (UQTR). The scope for this role also includes work on reference electrode development for electrolysis cells, including long-term accelerated stress tests.

The ideal candidate is expected to i) have strong hands-on experience in electrochemical device applications and characterization techniques; ii) have practical experience in electrochemical cell and cell stack design, especially for water electrolysis; iii) have the ability to conduct electrochemical characterizations on the HTP setup; iv) be able to analyze and interpret experimental data using various data analysis software (e.g., Excel, Python and Origin); vi) develop new testing procedures and identify/implement process improvements; vii) report and troubleshoot issues related to instrumentation and testing.

We are seeking postdocs to lead and participate in projects that are associated with:

• The capture and conversion of reactive carbon solutions (bicarbonate-rich feedstocks) to useful carbon-containing products; and/or 
• Electrochemical mineralization and CO2 storage. 

These roles provide an opportunity to conduct innovative research, mentor trainees, and collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of scientists and engineers. Many projects within the Berlinguette Group also involve industrial partnerships. These positions will enable successful candidates to further hone important skills for a successful career in academia or industry.

The Fellow will be expected to design and implement studies under the supervision of the Principal Investigator, while also contributing to existing studies. Focus will be on primarily quantitative research projects, including: (1) an administrative-linked cohort study evaluating injectable opioid agonist therapies in Vancouver, and (2) an evaluation of a health incentives intervention. This post will suit recent PhD graduates with strong research skills who are seeking to advance an academic career in public health and health services research. The Fellow will be responsible for preparing grant and fellowship applications, and analysing and writing up existing data, working under the direction of the Principal Investigator. The Fellow will play a role as needed in coordinating program activities, maintaining research records, and contributing to the management and analysis of data.

Fluid biomarkers can provide a detailed picture of neurological health and disease using relatively low-cost, accessible, objective, and scalable tools. There has been a rapid expanse of research into candidate blood-based biomarkers that show utility for the diagnosis and prognosis of neurological conditions. This position will focus on the statistical analysis for multiple projects involving large scale databases from various cohorts, including but not limited to traumatic or hypoxic brain injury, spinal cord injury, Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, Multiple Sclerosis and healthy aging. The postdoctoral fellow will oversee their own individual project, to be developed in collaboration between the supervisor and a successful candidate. They will also provide guidance to lab members for other projects.

A position is open for a postdoctoral fellow with a PhD in neuroscience, biomedical engineering, or a related discipline, and a strong interest in neuroscience, cardiovascular and vascular biology. Interested candidates must be self-motivated and have at least two first-authored papers in peer-reviewed journals. Experience in spinal cord/peripheral nerve stimulation, bladder & bowel dysfunction, experimental animal research, immunocytochemistry, and/or histology is an asset. The postdoctoral fellow will be expected to perform experiments to determine the neuronal and molecular mechanisms underlying cardiovascular and autonomic (i.e., bladder, bowel, sexual, and cardiovascular) dysfunction following spinal cord injury. This involves in vivo, ex vivo, and in vitro experiments along with extensive work involving rodent models of spinal cord injury. The fellow will also be expected to write scientific publications, apply for research funding, and present their work at institutional journal clubs and international conferences.

The two postdoctoral fellows (PDF1 and PDF2) will closely interact and integrate within the UBC team, that includes already an existing PDF member specialized in complex electro-mechano-acoustic simulations. They should be both very motivated, open to learn and adapt to interdisciplinary interactions and challenges, and their complementary expertise will enable the development of a successful project, with wide future perspectives.

PDF1 is required to have a strong background in microfabrication , MEMS technology, microtransducers design, simulation and fabrication and testing. His role is to develop a custom polyCMUT array for spinal cord imaging. Experience with cleanroom microfabrication and polymer-based microdevices would give a strong starting point.

PDF2 needs a good expertise in sensor interfaces, circuit design, general analog and digital electronic systems and signal processing. His role is to integrate the ultrasound transducer array with custom electronics and to ensure the interface with a backend ultrasound imaging system. Their activity will be supported by other researchers and graduate students in the team. It is expected that the candidate will have practical experience with circuit design, simulation, and implementation, up to the PCB level design and assembly.
