PhD Position in Bioinformatics / Spatial Omics – Québec City (Sept 2026)

Position Overview

We are seeking an outstanding and highly motivated PhD student in Computational Biology or Bioinformatics to join the Translational and Integrative Pathobiology Lab (LCTIP‑Lab) in Québec City. This position offers a unique opportunity to work at the forefront of spatial omics, tumor microenvironment (TME) biology, and multimodal data integration, under the co‑supervision of Dr. Philippe Joubert and Dr. Fabien Lamaze.

The PhD project focuses on Diffuse Idiopathic Pulmonary Neuroendocrine Cell Hyperplasia (DIPNECH) – a rare and poorly understood precursor lesion that can progress to pulmonary carcinoid tumors. This understudied disease context provides a rare opportunity to make first‑in‑field discoveries with strong translational relevance.

By leveraging spatial transcriptomics, deep genomic profiling, and TME‑focused analyses, the successful candidate will investigate clonal evolution and molecular mechanisms driving disease progression...
