Jobs

Dr. Aly Karsan and the Karsan Lab team are seeking a Research Programmer to join a Marathon of Hope Cancer Centre research project.

The successful applicant will be working with other research programmers in the Karsan lab to develop data analysis pipelines for various next-generation sequencing (NGS) data such as—but not limited to—scRNA-Seq, targeted sequencing, ATAC-Seq, and BS-Seq. We seek candidates with strong analytical and programming skills to research, develop, and improve our research pipelines for studying cancer evolution. The role is ideally suited to detail-oriented individuals with a strong interest in data analysis, research, and scientific programming within a high throughput academic setting.

By working within the Karasn Lab at the GSC, you will develop close relationships with world-renown specialists in bioinformatics and have access to one of the most robust computational and next generation genome sequencing technology facilities in Canada. The Karsan lab has a history of strong publications and a diverse computational biology core for knowledge sharing, collaboration, and support.

This is a non-union position funded by a BC Cancer Foundation Grant. We offer a competitive salary, excellent benefits and significant career development opportunities. Remote applicants are encouraged to apply.

Dr. Pingzhao Hu at The Department of Biochemistry at Western University has funded graduate student (MSc or Ph.D.) positions in Bioinformatics/Statistical Genetics. More information can be found at http://www.hu-bioinformaticslab.org/positions.html. Please be noted that my lab will be moving to Western University on September 1, 2022.

This full-time fixed term position is for approximately 12 months (based on length of grant funding), with the possibility of extension. The Biostatistician will report directly to Arnaud Droit, principal investigator and director of the computational biology laboratory. The successful applicant will join an interdisciplinary team focused on developing and applying computational methods in various other bioinformatics projects. The team uses state-of-the-art methods to analyse high throughput sequencing to analyze patient cohorts and identify biomarker signatures that could potentially serve as diagnostic markers. These methods include standard bioinformatics protocols, but also more advanced approaches relying on machine learning and deep learning. The applicant will be involved in several projects where biostatistics are needed. The position will start as soon as possible. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
