Working together toward a common goal!
The Berg Lab welcomes applications from postdoctoral fellows and students (4th year undergraduate and graduate) interested in pursuing research on understanding the determinants of treatment response in acute myeloid leukemia towards developing novel treatment options.
As part of our application process, we accept applications from prospective graduate students who have already applied to either the department of Biochemistry and Biomedical Sciences or the Medical Sciences program. If you are seeking either a MSc, PhD, or MD/PhD, you will gain considerable knowledge about student expectations and admissions criteria by visiting the following McMaster websites: McMaster’s School of Graduate Studies, Biochemistry Graduate program, and the Medical Sciences Graduate program.
Prospective graduate students who have applied and received conditional acceptance from their graduate program will receive priority consideration.
Undergraduate students and postdoctoral fellows can apply directly to our program. Undergraduate students should indicate in their cover letter, details of the thesis course they are interested in taking. Postdoctoral fellows should possess strong leadership skills, previous experience with in vivo model systems, and be independent, creative thinkers.
We continually accept applications in the event a position becomes available in our lab. If you are seeking one of the following trainee positions, be confident expressing your interest in becoming a member of the Berg team:
- 4th Year Undergraduate Thesis
- Master’s Candidates
- PhD Candidates
Please email your CV, statement of research interest, and transcripts to berglab@mcmaster.ca. Applications with missing elements will be considered incomplete and not reviewed.
Applicants will only be contacted and invited to participate in an introductory interview if:
- a position is available within the lab
- qualifications are considered exceptional and appropriate for the lab’s research activities
Shortlisted candidates will be invited to participate in a second interview where they will meet team members and be expected to present their recent work to the lab.
