Research Group Introduction

M.Sc./Ph.D. positions are available in the laboratory of Dr. Shuaiqi Guo at the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology (https://www.mcgill.ca/anatomy/) at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. Our research program focuses on the characterization of microbial surface protein complexes and nanomachines involved in biofilm formation using advanced techniques including cryo-focused-ion-beam milling and cryo-electron tomography. Outcomes of our research have potential for a wide range of applications, including the development of new antimicrobial agents for treating infectious diseases, novel strategies for carbon capture and utilization as well as antifouling agents for various industries.

Examples of our research can be found here: https://www.mcgill.ca/anatomy/shuaiqi-guo

Position qualifications

M.Sc. candidates should have a B.Sc. degree. Ph.D. candidates should either hold or be expected to soon graduate with a M.Sc. degree in relevant fields such as biology, biophysics, biochemistry, microbiology and chemistry. For Ph.D. candidates, a strong background in molecular biology is essential. Experience with computer programing is desirable but not required.

Research Environment

The Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology is also home to the Facility for Electron Microscopy Research (FEMR) at McGill University. FEMR boasts state-of-the-art facilities for structural biology, including a 300-kv Titan Krios equipped with phase plate, energy filter, and K3 detector. Our research program integrates cryo-EM, biochemical and biophysical approaches with microbial genetics fostering an excellent environment for international collaborations with other world-renowned research groups in relevant fields.
