Join Our Group
We are always looking for researchers that are interested in the intersection of genomics, environmental microbiology, and biotechnology and engineering.
We are also keen to collaborate with industrial and academic partners, motivated students, post-doctoral researchers, as well as visiting researchers (if this is you, then please send Ryan Ziels an email).
If you are interested in joining as a graduate student:
1. Check that you meet CIVL’s program requirements for MASc or PhD
2. Ensure our research group’s focus aligns with your areas of interest.
