McGill University -

The Department of Psychiatry at McGill University and the Douglas Research Centre are currently inviting applications for a full-time Contract Academic Staff position in the field of computational genomics, epigenomics, proteomics (“omics”). This will be a three-year, renewable appointment at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor and does not confer eligibility for tenure. Applicants with expertise in any relevant areas in bioinformatics, computer science, computational genomics, programming, mathematics will be considered, with priority to those with a strong track record in single-cell data analysis. Scientists focusing on computational integration of large-scale functional and comparative multiomic datasets are especially encouraged to apply. McGill is one of Canada’s leading research-intensive universities with students from over 140 countries. The university is located in Montreal, a cosmopolitan city with great cultural and linguistic diversity. It has long been considered a leader in neuroscience and a strong innovator in methods that support a wide spectrum of basic and clinical research endeavours. The university’s strong training programs in Biological and Biomedical Engineering, Psychiatry, and Quantitative Life Sciences as well as the Integrated Program in Neuroscience favour the development of strong multidisciplinary research teams. With over 55 researchers spanning a full range of mental health research (neuroscience, clinical services, policy, and epidemiology/population health), the Douglas Research Centre (DRC) has been an international leader in mental health research for more than 30 years. The DRC has been at the forefront of pioneering innovative methods in the field of psychiatry, including single-cell neurobiology and has recently secured significant funding for a research program focused on using single-cell approaches to gain insights into the brain and its related disorders.

The University of British Columbia -

The School of Biomedical Engineering (SBME) at The University of British Columbia (UBC), Vancouver campus, invites applications for a full-time Lecturer position for a one-year term to lead the development of courses for a new program entitled: “MUlti-Scale multi-modal Image Computing for health (MUSIC)”.

The School of Biomedical Engineering is a partnership between the Faculties of Medicine and Applied Science, acting as a nucleus for education and training, research, and innovation in biomedical engineering, creating new knowledge, new academic and training programs, and fostering translation and innovation. Its vision is to transform health care outcomes through unconstrained exploration of the best possible integrative solutions across engineering, medicine, and biology. Through collaborative, innovative, and interdisciplinary approach and building on UBC academic and research excellence, the School of Biomedical Engineering is emerging as a global leader in biomedical engineering research, education and translation. For more information about the School of Biomedical Engineering, please visit https://www.bme.ubc.ca/.

The MUSIC program is funded by the Natural Sciences & Engineering Research Council of Canada’s (NSERC) CREATE program. Building on the established Biomedical Imaging and Artificial Intelligence (BMIAI) research cluster at UBC (https://bmiai.ubc.ca/) and its extensive connections with Canada’s burgeoning biotech industry, MUSIC responds to an acute need for a multi-faceted, data-driven approach to understanding the biological processes that lead to disease. With MUSIC training, over 100 highly qualified personnel (HQP) will be able to measure, manipulate, and analyze biomedical data at a wide range of physical scales, using advanced signal processing and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques. Through this program, we intend to create two graduate-level courses as follows, the development of which would be led by the Lecturer.
