The Lettre lab at the Université de Montréal and the Montreal Heart Institute is looking for a postdoctoral fellow (or research associate) to advance genetic research in the study of blood diseases. Our lab has access to some of the largest genetic datasets and is part of an international collaborative network that focuses on the identification of novel genetic associations, genes and pathways that control non-malignant hematological diseases. The candidate will contribute to one or more CIHR- or NIH/NHGRI-funded projects using whole-genome sequencing, single-cell RNA-Seq, and proteomics data. Analysis tasks include: (1) genetic association analysis in multi-ancestry samples for blood-cell phenotypes, (2) biomarker […]

We value equity, diversity and inclusion because the goal of the lab is to improve health for all individuals. We value persons of all identities, including dimensions such as age, culture, national origin, ability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, language, race, religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and others. Although science should be objective, we acknowledge that there are overt and covert biases. As human geneticists, we understand that diversity provides important new perspectives in solving scientific questions, and we embrace contributions from all. We promote the academic and professional development of students and staff from different backgrounds. We endeavor to actively engage in positive […]
