Postdoctoral Fellowship within an integrated research program on cannabinoids
Cannabis has been consumed globally for centuries. It’s often said to have various effects, but cannabis is not a single entity—it’s a complex mix of organic compounds with diverse biochemical properties, making it a rich polypharmacological product. Understanding its mechanisms and health effects requires rigorous clinical studies.
The Didier Jutras-Aswad lab seeks a postdoctoral fellow to explore the complex effects of cannabis on humans. You’ll be involved in clinical studies assessing physiological and psychological effects of non-therapeutic cannabis use across different forms, usage modalities, and constituents, in both general and at-risk populations.
Responsibilities
- Analyze data from human administration studies involving various cannabis products (e.g., inhaled CBD)
- Participate in the design and development of new studies
Environment & Support
You’ll work in a dynamic scientific and professional context with a highly qualified team from diverse fields. Teamwork is essential for high-quality integrative research. You’ll be supported in publishing peer-reviewed articles, presenting at high-level conferences, and developing international collaborations. Financial support and guidance for scholarship applications are provided.
