Small and large animal stroke models are used along with molecular biology, immunohistochemistry, confocal imaging and electrophysiology to study vascular biology and brain dysfunction after stroke and subarachnoid hemorrhage. The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. in neuroscience or a related field. Experience with animal models of stroke and electrophysiology are desirable. The postdoctoral scholar will have access to the University of Toronto research
environment, as well as to extensive facilities at St. Michael’s Hospital and the MaRS discovery district centre in Toronto. Starting date is flexible.
