麦吉尔大学（Mcgill University）刘谦课题组现全奖招收2025年入学博士生。麦吉尔大学是一所世界排名前30 的公立研究型大学 (2024 QS international university ranking: 30)。学校位于加拿大魁北克省的蒙特利尔, 蒙城历史悠久，生活环境舒适便捷。刘谦课题组利用自主搭建的基于单分子定位技术和结构光荧光显微技术的超分辨显微镜研究病毒感染细胞的过程及该过程中涉及的细胞先天免疫及防疫机制（https://www.mcgill.ca/parasitology/faculty/vivian-liu）。今次招收的研究生项目主要涉及利用超分辨显微镜技术和数学模型研究病毒在宿主细胞中的装配，释放，和传播。项目成果可在顶级专业期刊上发表。在读期间可获得可观的奖学金资助，有多次在国际会议上交流与展示的机会。在读期间也可获得与加拿大政府及业界交流合作的机会。毕业生的就业方向包括但不限于：各高校及科研院所，涉及传染病控制防疫的政府和非营利性机构，生物制剂及药物研发企业，显微镜成像中心。欢迎对跨学科研究具有浓厚兴趣的同学报名。
Dr. Liu is interested in understanding the interplay between viruses and the membrane bound organelles, cytoskeleton and physiological activities of the host cell, as it relates to the nature of virus infections, innate immune responses and the structure and function of a cell. Specifically, her research has been focusing on mapping out the spatial and temporal organizations, dynamics and stoichiometry of the virus-host interaction networks by using super-resolution microscopy and biomathematics approaches. Her research largely depends on custom-built super-resolution microscopes, including a single-molecule localization microscope with a 10 nm spatial resolution and a confocal structure

illuminated microscope (https://www.mcgill.ca/parasitology/faculty/vivian-liu). Successful candidates will work on projects that address questions in virus assembly and budding. Successful candidates will have access to 1) custom-made super-resolution microscopes that can be adapted to your own research purposes; 2) a dynamic, highly motivated team with diverse culture and knowledge backgrounds; 3) excellent core facilities equipped with cutting-edge commercial microscopes; 4) opportunities for attending international conferences and interactions with leaders in academia, government, and industry.
Applicants must have strong interest and motivation in interdisciplinary research.
Applicants must hold a B.Sc. or M.Sc. degree in cell biology, virology, microbiology, biophysics, biochemistry, molecular biology, immunology or related fields by the time of the appointment starts. Experience and skills in biology and imaging laboratory are highly appreciated. Applicants must show proficiency in English writing and speaking. Applicants who are not Canadian permanent residency or citizen are encouraged to apply for external funding. Please send your application in ONE .pdf file including curriculum vitae, a statement of research interest (one paragraph) and the contact information of two references to Dr. Liu (qian.liu3@mcgill.ca).
