Dr. Qian (Vivian) Liu’s laboratory at the Institute of Parasitology at McGill
University is looking for highly motivated graduate students to work on virus
biogenesis and super-resolution microscopy.

Dr. Liu is an assistant professor starting in August, 2020. She 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. 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.

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 knowledge in mathematical modeling and
computer programming is highly appreciated. Candidates 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).
