Research Program
Post Doctoral Fellowships
Project Title
The placement of Post Doctoral Fellows within six swine health research institutions across Canada.
Project Summary
The CSHB is providing three years of funding support to six different swine health research organizations across Canada. Each site will appoint a Post Doctoral Fellow to these positions. Post Doctoral Fellows are typically young scientists who have completed their PhD programs and are available to join established research teams to work on specific projects and programs. Their goals are to complete research tasks, gain experience and publish scientific papers.
The locations and general research areas are outlined below:
- University of Alberta - Genomics and disease resistance using Swine Influenza as a model
- University of Saskatchewan - Joining emerging disease research team
- Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization - Vaccine technology development using immune stimulators with PCV2, PRRS and SIV
- University of Guelph - Infectious disease spread modeling based on PCV2 and PRRS
- University of Montreal - Supporting work in GREMIP Team
- University of Prince Edward Island - PRRS disease spread, traceablility and modeling
The CSHB believes this initiative will significantly increase the science capacity in Canada as well as jump start a new generation of young scientists.
Start Date
Each Fellowship is for a three year term which will start once the scientist is appointed to the position by the University College of Graduate Studies.
