2. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The ME Lab investigates the cognitive and neural mechanisms that support our ability to retrieve memories for naturalistic events, including autobiographical experiences from our personal past. We are particularly interested in understanding the constructive processes that enable us to edit memories—updating, enhancing, and sometimes distorting our memories. The ME Lab combines behavioral, patient-based and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) approaches in young and older adults, and uses novel paradigms, virtual reality, and wearable camera technologies that allow for investigations of memory in real-world environments- thus, maintaining the ecological validity of memories while exerting control over their properties.

5. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Postdoctoral fellowship position will work within a team of faculty and students across international networks (the Indigenous Peoples Observatory Network (IPON)), as it relates to environmental science, climatology, public health, Indigenous ways of knowing, and food security. IPON is a consortium of researchers from across 17 countries, including Canada, the USA, the UK, Argentina, Peru, Bolivia, and Uganda. This Post-Doctoral position is with Dr. Sherilee Harper in the School of Public Health at the University of Alberta, and the international IPON team. The research focuses on working with Indigenous Peoples globally to understand how the Indigenous climate- food-health nexus is affected by climate change, and further the design and implementation of co-produced adaptation and mitigation strategies.

6. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
We use human islets, cell culture and animal models and human donor pancreas samples to understand the impact of the islet/pancreas “neighbourhood” on islet endocrine cell function and survival. Current projects include (i) investigating interactions between cells of the exocrine pancreas (duct and acinar) and islets, (ii) building the first comprehensive atlas of the pancreas in cystic fibrosis and (iii) studying the impact of islet microvascular destabilization on islet function and survival.

7. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The research of the Intercultural Communication Lab broadly concerns the social and psychological dynamics that take place when people from different ethnolinguistic backgrounds interact. Programs of research include language learning and use across diverse social and cultural contexts, including educational contexts; the interrelations between language development and the psychological acculturation of ethnolinguistic identity; and the role of gender in language education engagement and achievement. Our research informs both educational and immigration programming and policy.

8. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Foundations of Robust and Trustworthy Machine Learning (FORT) lab led by Prof Nidhi Hegde has an immediate opening for a postdoctoral researcher. The FORT lab focuses on a fundamental approach to developing robust and trustworthy algorithms for machine learning. This largely applies to notions of privacy and fairness, but also to more general concepts of robustness and stability. Applications range from supervised learning to bandits to language models to image segmentation. The current open position is for a project on Distributionally Robust Optimization as applied to these themes.
Application Deadline: Open Until Filled
9. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher for a collaborative project jointly led by Prof Nidhi Hegde (University of Alberta, Amii) and Prof Dhanya Sridhar (Université de Montréal, MILA) and funded through the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR). The focus of the project is on strategic classification and causal models. In particular, we aim to study long-term fairness and develop robust learning algorithms in a strategic classification framework.
