Postdoctoral Fellowship in Human Environmental Physiology

We are seeking a postdoctoral fellow to lead projects assessing heat stress on cardiovascular and thermoregulatory function in older adults and individuals with common chronic disease, under the mentorship of Glen P. Kenny, Ph.D. and Robert Meade, Ph.D.

  • Candidates should have a doctorate in human environmental physiology, exercise science or closely related discipline and previous research experience working with various population groups in a physiology research environment.
  • Priorexperienceassessingwhole-bodyheatexchangeaswellasseveralother physiological measures (body temperatures, heat loss, cardiovascular function, hydration status, inflammatory response, heat cytotoxicity and others) will be a major asset. Proficiency in statistical analysis required.
  • The candidate will play a lead role in all aspects of the project, including subject recruitment, testing and data analysis, presentations of the research at national and international scientific meetings and the development of scientific manuscripts for publication.
  • Participation in other on-going studies and the development of new research projects is welcomed and encouraged.
  • Anticipated start date is September 2022. Funding support is for 2-years with the possibility of a 1-year extension.
    Candidates should submit a letter of intent (2-page maximum) outlining their qualifications and career objectives, an unofficial transcript of academic record, complete list of publications and awards, and the names of 3 referees.

PhD Student Opportunities in Human Environmental Physiology

HEPRU is seeking doctoral candidates interested in completing a full-time four-year studentship as part of research in exercise and environmental physiology with a focus on human thermoregulation during heat stress.  Research activities will take place within the Faculty of Health Sciences, on the main downtown campus of the University of Ottawa in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.  Positions are open for September 2022 and January 2023. Funding is available. International students welcomed. 


Candidates should have obtained a relevant Master’s degree and/or experience working with human volunteers in a physiology research environment.  Prior experience with indirect calorimetry, measurement of core and skin temperatures, skin blood flow and sweat rate, cardiovascular responses (e.g., cardiac output, mean arterial pressure, limb blood flow, and others), and others will be an asset.  Although all outstanding candidates will be considered, candidates with a strong publication record and interest in exercise and human thermoregulation will be given special consideration.  Additional training will be provided to ensure that the successful applicants have the skills required to meet their research objectives.


Interested candidates should submit a letter of intent (≤2 pages) outlining their qualifications and career objectives, an unofficial transcript of academic record, complete list of publications and awards, along with names of 2 referees who have agreed to be contacted.
