The CCAC Seeks Post-doctoral Fellow
The Canadian Council on Animal Care (CCAC) is currently looking for a post-doctoral fellow specializing in impact analysis to study how compliance with the CCAC’s standards improves the ethical care and use of animals and helps institutions progress in the implementation of the Three Rs. This two-year project will be jointly supervised by an external academic partner at a Canadian institution and require a successful application to the Mitacs program.
The CCAC works to improve the ethical treatment of animals used in Canadian science. Since 1968, we have provided national oversight of animal-based research, teaching, and testing in Canada through a collaborative process of assessment, certification, training, and standards development. It is an independent, non-profit organization acting in the interests of the Canadian people, and has over 2,000 volunteer experts serving on more than 190 local animal care committees to help fulfill its mandate and deliver its program in institutions across Canada.
Interested candidates can contact , Director of Standards at the CCAC for more information.
