The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the Université de Montréal is the only French-language institution of its kind in North America. It stands out for the excellence of its research and training on its two campuses one in Saint-Hyacinthe, at the heart of Quebec’s agri-food region, and the other in Rimouski, within a rich coastal environment. A driver of change, it prepares tomorrow’s leaders through a “One Health” approach that brings together innovation, biodiversity, and sustainability.
The Department of Veterinary Biomedical Sciences, recognized for its leadership in multiomics research, brings together expertise in pharmacology, toxicology, physiology, genomics, proteomics, animal modeling, and reproductive biology, in synergy with clinical and translational research. Building on this expertise, the Department is inviting applications for a faculty position whose research program will focus on the analysis of genomic, transcriptomic (including spatial transcriptomics), proteomic, or metabolomic data. Applications that combine advanced biological models and artificial intelligence, with tangible impacts on veterinary medicine and translational medicine, will be particularly welcomed.
