German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) -
The prime goal of the work will be to elucidate microbial processes on the Greenland Ice Sheet in the framework of the European Research Council (ERC) Synergy grant “Deep Purple”. The post holder will become part of a multidisciplinary team in the Interface Geochemistry section at the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) in Potsdam , Germany and closely interface with members of the Cryo-Microbiology group at Aarhus University in Denmark.
She/he/they will join the international and diverse team of researchers led by Liane G. Benning, who is very committed to fostering a fully inclusive research environment. Non-discrimination and equal treatment are integral parts of our group policy.
We are seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic bioinformatic focussed scientist who wants to develop her/his/their skills in a complementary research environment, where different disciplines work closely together to obtain a holistic understanding of cryogenic microbial processes and interactions in snow and ice environments.
The focus will be on eukaryotes and bioinformatic analyses of sequencing data from various ‘omic’ approaches that target the interactions between algae and other cryophillic microbes.

University of Montreal -
We are recruiting a determined individual to join our highly collaborative and multi-disciplinary research environment. The incumbent will champion impactful research projects pertaining to the study of the immune dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination. In particular, we seek to comprehend why certain individuals respond well to vaccination and infection, why others do not and how can we predict these outcomes? This well-funded project will involve generating, integrating and analyzing rich datasets of Oxford nanopore and single-cell RNA sequencing data derived from biospecimens longitudinally acquired from a unique cohort of over 500 healthcare employees. The incumbent will have the opportunity to learn unique techniques (both experimental and computational) and develop their own research program in a modern, multi-cultural research environment with established collaborative networks and cutting-edge infrastructure.

Barcelona Supercomputing Center -
The Life Sciences Department at the BSC integrates the independent research of senior scientists that work on various aspects of Computer Science applied to Life Sciences, ranging from healthcare applications of machine learning and AI to the use of High Performance Computing (HPC) for biomedical research. The Computational Biology group (http://life.bsc.es/compbio) is involved in multiple projects covering a wide range of topics, including computational systems biology, network science, digital medicine, structural biology.
The candidate will work in collaboration with senior researchers in the Computational Biology Group of the Life Sciences Department as well as other research groups at the BSC. The work is in the framework of the research lines of the group that are focused on applications of AI in Personalized Medicine, which include synthetic data generation, complex systems modelling, agent-based simulations, among others.
The Researcher will work in a highly sophisticated HPC environment, will have access to state-of-the-art systems and computational infrastructures, and will establish collaborations with experts in different areas both at international and local levels as well as from the public and private sector. The Researcher’s tasks will involve developing and deploying systems for the generation of synthetic datasets to be used for further tasks, such as training and evaluation. The Researcher is expected to be familiar with the analysis of a wide range of biomedical data and deep learning and, preferably, concepts of privacy-preserving AI (federated learning) and explainable AI (XAI).

Canada's Michael Smith Genome Sciences Centre (GSC) -
The successful incumbent will work with the project team to lead the activities on the development, application and validation of novel approaches and workflows in the area of integrated de novo genome assembly over multiple sequencing technologies. They will develop automated bioinformatics workflow as well as assembly submission. They will also work closely together with Earth BioGenome Project (EBP) consortium on the sequencing and assembly standards. They will work with Project Leaders to ensure all scientific milestones are achieved and contribute to progress reporting as required. There will be expectations to represent the project within the global EBP consortium and the development of outreach materials and website information. Opportunities will exist for further research on the genomic information developed and for scholarly publication.

Western University -
My collaborators and I have a posdoctoral and research associate positions open related to a project in cancer genomics and informatics, specifically breast ductal in situ carcinoma (DCIS). The project is led by a multidisciplinary team comprised of Dr E Rakovitch at Sunnybrook Hospital (Toronto), Vanessa Dumeaux (Western), myself (Western) and collaborators at the OICR (Toronto), UBC (Vancouver) and MD Anderson (Texas), providing an excellent training environment. This is a CIHR funded project and involves the analysis of a large collection of profiles of DCIS tumors towards specific clinical end-points.
