Northwestern University -
We are looking for a highly motivated candidate specializing in Bioinformatics to join Dr. Rendong Yang’s laboratory at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine located in Chicago, IL. The Yang laboratory is interested in the integrative analysis of large-scale, multi-dimensional genomic data to understand the initiation and progression of diseases. The research projects involve in the development of highly accurate and sensitive computational methods for analyzing large-scale genomic data, especially in the area of detecting and analyzing genetic variations and somatic mutations. Example projects span from technique-driven research that aims developing algorithms for a wide range of applications (e.g. Yang et al., Bioinformatics 2010; Yang et al., BMC Genomics 2014; Yang et al., Genome Medicine 2015), to hypothesis-driven investigation of specific biological problems where the main goal is the discovery and advancement of biological knowledge (e.g. Asangani et al., Nature 2014; Henzler et al., Nature Communications 2016; Katerndahl et al., Nature Immunology 2017, Wang et al. Molecular Cell 2021). More information can be found by visiting the lab website: https://ylab-hi.github.io/

Princess Margaret Cancer Centre - UHN -
The Kridel lab is seeking a talented postdoctoral fellow to lead ongoing efforts to enhance our understanding of lymphoma pathogenesis by leveraging large datasets. The research will focus on either of the following topics: (i) dissection of immune correlates underlying both common and rare lymphoma types using single cell sequencing; (ii) development of liquid biopsy-based biomarkers for the accurate classification and monitoring of lymphoma. The post-doctoral fellow will design and carry out experiments to address key questions in the above topics and lead the writing of scientific manuscripts. The successful candidate will be embedded in a rich scientific environment that provides ample opportunities for development of technical, as well as leadership skills. Highly motivated individuals with a desire to make an impact in the field of cancer genomics are encouraged to apply.

University of Toronto -
The Yuzwa lab in the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathobiology (LMP) at the University of Toronto is seeking to hire a Post-doctoral Fellow to work on an exciting project that will unravel lineage and spatial relationships between cells of the mammalian brain and the impacts of disease on these relationships. The primary approaches that will be applied in these studies are single-cell (scRNA-seq) and spatially-resolved transcriptomics (available in-house), the generation of novel DNA constructs (using molecular cloning), primary neural culture and in vivo studies, along with computational biology/bioinformatics to develop and apply tools to analyze the data.

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.
