Career opportunities in viral metabolism research and therapeutics
Be part of transformative research addressing global health challenges
Work across two continents with researchers from diverse backgrounds
Access to world-class facilities and interdisciplinary training
Strong mentorship and career development support
Join our international team advancing viral metabolism research
We are seeking a postdoctoral fellow to investigate how viruses reprogram host cell metabolism. The successful candidate will use metabolomics, cell biology, and biochemical approaches to study viral-host interactions.
Join our computational team at Politecnico di Torino to develop and apply AI/ML methods for antiviral drug discovery. Focus on structure-based drug design and molecular dynamics simulations.
We seek a postdoc to lead studies on the metabolic basis of Long COVID and ME/CFS. The position involves patient-derived sample analysis and translational research.

Research experience opportunities for undergraduate students
Full-time summer research positions (May-August) for students interested in intensive research experience. Funded positions available through NSERC USRA and institutional awards.
Year-long research projects for students completing honours degrees. Projects are tailored to student interests and program requirements.
Research credit courses allowing students to participate in ongoing research projects during the academic year.
Note: Competition for summer positions is high. Apply early (January-February for summer positions).
Sabbatical visits and research exchanges at IVMT
IVMT welcomes visiting scientists and scholars for sabbaticals, research exchanges, and collaborative visits at our Edmonton and Turin hubs.
Faculty members on sabbatical leave are welcome to spend extended periods (3-12 months) at IVMT to pursue collaborative research, learn new techniques, or explore new research directions.
Researchers can visit for 2-8 weeks for focused collaborative projects, technique training, or to establish new collaborations.
Researchers from partner institutions may arrange exchanges between our Edmonton and Turin hubs to facilitate international collaboration.
