The L’Abbé Lab provides an excellent environment for postdoctoral fellows to further develop their nutrition research, leadership, and policy skills, particularly in the areas of public health nutrition, population health, and nutrition policy.

Postdoctoral fellows may develop their own research project or contribute to ongoing projects in the lab. Fellows are encouraged to be innovative, demonstrate independence, and broaden an area of nutrition research that aligns with their expertise and the lab’s resources.

Fellows also have opportunities to gain experience in grant writing, manuscript development, teaching, and mentoring graduate students and undergraduate trainees. Candidates should have strong writing and quantitative analysis skills, as well as the ability to work independently with minimal supervision.

Please see the School of Graduate Studies website for additional information relevant to prospective postdoctoral fellows at UofT.
