The postdoctoral fellow will work under the supervision of Dr. Ian Colman at the APEAL Lab, in an enriching, supportive, and inclusive environment. Applicants wishing to work from a remote location will be considered. The postdoctoral fellow will be expected to publish multiple first-author papers, and to become involved in grant preparation, data analysis, and knowledge translation activities. The fellow may have the opportunity to visit Pelotas for a research stay.
