Background: Dr. Muni is currently a post-doctoral associate at Department of Computer Science, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, Canada. His main focus is on building blockchain based solutions for Internet of Things (IoT) particularly for smart homes or smart communities (for e.g., smart health care). The primary goal of his work is to enable access control and management in the communities using smart contracts (combining edge-computing). He is an active member of Postdoc Representative Committee at the University of Calgary representing faculties of computer science, math and stats. Agenda: As the Vice-Chair of Operations, his plays an active role in CAPS being responsible for coordinating all CAPS/ACSP meetings and the keeping of official CAPS/ACSP records. This position requires attending all meetings, take meeting minutes and place all relevant notes within, such as completed and planned actions by the exec, online and within meeting votes; receive and note (in the minutes) all regrets from members; distribute meeting minutes from previous meeting. Maintaining accurate logs of CAPS activities is necessary for the smooth running of the organization and pass on this knowledge to future CAPS execs. This will ensure that CAPS continue to work towards changing the lives of Canadian postdocs for the better. Email: operations@caps-acsp.ca

Background: Dr. Willemieke Kouwenhoven, born in Gouda the city of cheese, did her PhD in the lab of Prof. Marten Smidt at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Here she investigated the molecular programming of embryonic dopamine neurons. In the end of 2016, she started her post-doctoral career in the laboratory of Prof. Louis-Eric Trudeau at the University of Montreal (UdeM), to deepen her understanding of the physiology of DA neurons and of in vivo mouse models of Parkinson’s Disease. In November of 2020 she joined the brand-new lab of dr. Janelle Drouin-Ouellet at University of Montreal to use human stem cell biology and direct fibroblast reprogramming to develop better in vitro models of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s. Dr. Willemieke Kouwenhoven has had a long track record in student and post-doc representation and advocacy. During her grad studies she was an elected representative in the student council at the University of Amsterdam and she became the elected post-doc representative at the research employee’s union in 2017 at the UdeM. In that role she participated in the negotiations between the union and UdeM to improve the collective agreement for post-docs, focusing specifically on the instalment of medical insurance. Agenda: Dr. Willemieke Kouwenhoven will be representing the francophone post-doc community and will be focussing on creating resources for PDA’s that are establishing or aiming to improve their collective agreement.

Background: Jennifer Major is currently a CIHR postdoctoral fellow conducting research on the epigenetic regulation of heart failure at the University of Colorado Anschutz medical campus (Department of Medicine, Division of Cardiology). The goal of her research is to identify new druggable targets and pathways for heart failure and fibrosis which currently have no cures and have poor clinical outcomes. Prior to this she completed her BSc (Biology), MSc (Cellular and Molecular Medicine) and PhD (Cellular and Molecular Medicine) at the University of Ottawa. Jenn is highly involved in postdoc community building and advocacy in Colorado as the President of her local Postdoctoral Association. She is also largely interested and involved in working with international scholars to improve cultural exchange and networking between domestic and international postdocs. Agenda: Jennifer is very interested in postdoctoral training beyond the bench. During our PhDs we have all learned project management, budgeting, communication, etc. but we often have a hard time translating our CV’s into resumes. Further, we often are so focused on our research that we forget about the “soft skills”, certifications, and other professional development activities that we may need to develop to be successful in our future career paths. During her time as the VP of communications for CAPs Jennifer hopes to help postdocs identify the skills that they already have (and how to makrket them) and how to cultivate new skills that will better prepare them for the job market.

Background: Dr. Sarah Grasedieck is a postdoctoral fellow at the Epigenomics Lab headed by Dr. Martin Hirst (Michael Smith Laboratories, UBC Vancouver campus). Her research is focused on finding new treatment approaches for acute myeloid leukemia patients and involves the manipulation of DNA methylation and gene expression as well as the reactivation of normal cell maturation, which is invariably blocked in this disease. She completed her doctoral training in Germany at Ulm University Hospital. Agenda: In both my functions as VP External of the UBC Post-Doctoral Association and as At-Large Member of CAPS/ACSP, I advocate on behalf of postdoc's rights who often fall through the cracks in University policies and regulations, e.g. concerning eligibility for funding, subsidized living- or daycare space. I am a proactive person who likes to network and organize knowledge translation events and I thrive on connecting people, on developing new concepts and ideas and on getting things done.
