UPDATE: All job posters (old and new) will need to create/recreate an account, as this is a new website. Detailed instructions are below.
Posting your jobs on bioinformatics.ca will increase the visibility of your opportunity and attract top talent within the bioinformatics field. Once your job is approved, not only is it added to our Job Postings section, but it’s also mailed out to our jobs mailing list and tweeted on our jobs Twitter feed. Best of all, there is no charge for posting your job!
To qualify as a bioinformatics.ca job, we simply require two things:
- The Position must be bioinformatics related.
- Canadians must be eligible to apply for the position. For full-time positions outside of Canada, we will include the statement: “Applications from Canadian citizens are welcome”.
How to Set Up a Job Posting Account
Set up your 2-factor authenticator (2FA) app
If you don’t already have a 2FA application, such as Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator, download and set up an account following the app instructions. When you are ready, open the app and get ready to add a new 2FA account.
Set up the account for bioinformatics.ca
Use the app to scan the QR code that popped up on your screen after you filled out the Job Posting Account. (Note: If you are using a web interface, you can type the code manually.) Your 2FA app should now have a code for bioinformatics.ca with your username. When finished, click the I’m Ready button in the pop-up on your screen.
Authenticate your account
Look in your 2FA app to find the code associated with your bioinformatics.ca account. The number should change periodically. Type this number into the new pop-up box on your screen and click Validate & Save Configuration.
View your job posting dashboard
After a successful 2FA login, you should be taken to your Jobs Dashboard. Click Add new Job to post your first job.
