"Assistant Professor in Reproductive, Endocrine or Nervous System Physiology"

The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the Université de Montréal is the only French-language institution of its kind in North America. It stands out for the excellence of its research and training on its two campuses—one in Saint-Hyacinthe, at the heart of Quebec’s agri-food region, and the other in Rimouski, within a rich coastal environment. A driver of change, it prepares tomorrow’s leaders through a “One Health” approach that brings together innovation, biodiversity, and sustainability.

The Department of Veterinary Biomedicine provides a vibrant and forward-thinking environment for research and training. Our diverse areas of expertise include basic and experimental pharmacology, toxicology, molecular and integrative physiology, genomics, proteomics, animal modeling, and reproductive biology. These domains are closely connected to both translational and clinical research, ensuring relevance and real-world impact. We are committed to advancing knowledge and developing skills in veterinary and biomedical sciences, for future veterinarians (DMVs) as well as aspiring scientists (M.Sc. and Ph.D. students).
