Clinical Bioinformatic and Software Developer (Lab Scientist III)

The provincial Molecular Pathology Program of Alberta Precision Laboratories (APL) is seeking a Clinical Bioinformatics Lab Scientist with full-stack Software and/or Web Development skills and expertise in Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) to participate in our expanding cancer genomics program. In particular, the program has several NGS-based assays to identify genetic changes in clinical samples derived from cancer patients seen by the Alberta-wide cancer clinics and major centers. The Scientist will work with pathologists, wet lab scientists, and operational and support staff in APL and Information Technology staff of Alberta Health Services (AHS). As a Laboratory Scientist III you will be a highly skilled individual working as part of a multi-disciplinary team supporting procedural development and modification, documentation and implementation of research activities into the operation of a clinically oriented molecular laboratory. This position exercises independence in method development and new approaches to patient testing. In addition, the Laboratory Scientist III may perform routine and complex patient testing and data analysis/interpretation using a wide array of molecular methods, analytical platforms, and bioinformatic software programs.
