Original job description

Date Posted: 11/12/2026
Req ID: 50984
Faculty/Division: Faculty of Pharmacy
Department: Faculty of Pharmacy
Campus: St. George (Downtown Toronto)
Existing Vacancy: No

Your Opportunity:

The Research Associate will serve as a senior scientific leader within the lab and will work in close partnership with Dr. Bowen Li (Principal Investigator) to oversee and advance the lab’s nucleic acid therapeutics and non-viral delivery research portfolio. This role is designed for an experienced investigator capable of independently managing major components of the research enterprise, including scientific direction, personnel supervision, grant development, and experimental oversight. The Li Laboratory conducts multidisciplinary research focused on engineering lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) and biomaterial delivery platforms for mRNA, circular RNA, suppressor tRNA, and genome-editing systems to address genetic pulmonary conditions (such as cystic fibrosis), mucosal vaccines, and cancer immunotherapy. The team works at the intersection of molecular bioengineering, pharmaceutical sciences, biochemistry, and data-driven formulation screening.

The Research Associate will play a central leadership role in ensuring the scientific excellence, technical rigor, and translational advancement of the lab. The successful candidate will be expected to operate with a high degree of autonomy and will oversee complex project milestones across molecular biology, gene editing, and pulmonary delivery models. This position is intended for a highly motivated and experienced investigator capable of operating with substantial independence. The Research Associate will be entrusted with significant responsibility for the scientific research functions of the lab and will be expected to contribute meaningfully to its high-impact publication output and grant portfolio growth.

Key Responsibilities:

Conduct advanced academic research to achieve the research goals of the PI and lab, focusing on non-viral nucleic acid delivery, CRISPR-mediated gene targeting, and therapeutic mRNA/tRNA applications
Independently conceptualize, design, and lead experimental studies in CRISPR/Cas9 site-specific gene integration, homology-directed repair optimization, and functional phenotypic rescue
Formulate, optimize, and characterize lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) and delivery vectors, establishing analytical and quality control assays for RNA encapsulation, biophysical properties, and stability
Oversee and execute translational disease model pipelines, including air-liquid interface (ALI) cultures of primary airway epithelial cells, organoids, and preclinical rodent models
Lead the interpretation and dissemination of research findings through high-impact, peer-reviewed scientific publications
Lead preparation and submission of competitive grant applications (as Co-Investigator or lead contributor) to institutional, provincial, and federal agencies (e.g., CIHR, NSERC), and liaise on post-award scientific reporting
Execute research projects and report on their progress through comprehensive oral presentations, written progress reports, and patent/intellectual property disclosures
Maintain and strengthen collaborative relationships with academic, clinical, and institutional research cores and external partners
Present lab research and represent the group at institutional, national, and international scientific conferences and symposia
Supervise and mentor graduate students (PhD and Master's), undergraduate research assistants, and technical trainees in laboratory techniques, experimental design, and data analysis

Qualifications:

Ph.D. in Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology, Molecular Genetics, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Biomedical Engineering, Biochemistry, or a closely related biomedical discipline
Minimum 2-4 years of postdoctoral research and/or research core experience in molecular biology, gene therapy, or nucleic acid therapeutics
Demonstrated track record of leading multidisciplinary research projects and developing experimental platforms
Evidence of active participation in grant writing and research proposal preparation, including institutional or federal funding
Strong record of peer-reviewed publications in high-impact, field-relevant journals covering genome editing, viral/non-viral delivery, or respiratory/mucosal diseases
Demonstrated experience supervising, mentoring, and training graduate students and laboratory researchers
In-depth technical expertise in CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing, DNA repair pathway modulation, vector design, and primary airway epithelial cell/ALI culture models
Practical experience in lipid nanoparticle formulation, RNA encapsulation assays, biophysical characterization, or preclinical animal disease models
Strong leadership, organizational, and project management skills with the proven ability to deliver on parallel research milestones within tight timelines
Excellent scientific communication skills with proven ability to author peer-reviewed manuscripts and technical reports

Note: This is a term position for two (2) years.
