Jobs

The Schwartz lab is interested in developing new methods and algorithms to understand the role of cellular heterogeneity in cancer. We will use these integrative tools to improve diagnosis and treatment of cancer through precision medicine. As such, we are hiring a Software Developer to create interactive computational tools and web portals for the analysis of high-throughput multi-omic data. You will also be working with trainees in the lab to support and oversee the development of these tools and analyses while communicating our findings to the scientific community.

By joining our lab, you will have the opportunity to work with and integrate data from cutting-edge technologies such as single-cell assays to create new tools to help scientists and clinicians understand, diagnose, and treat cancer. For more information on the types of tools we will develop, please visit https://schwartzlab-methods.github.io/.

JOB ID: PCD_E00375_Clinical_2021_08_11

If you are a computational scientist with clinical laboratory experience, who has designed and performed computational experiments that generate clinically relevant results, who understands and can improve upon process development and programming workflows, and is motivated to contribute towards scientific endeavours with real benefits to improve the lives of cancer patients—then join us!

As a Process Development Coordinator within the Clinical Bioinformatics Analysis team at the GSC, reporting to the Bioinformatics Group Leader, you will be responsible for leading the development, testing and validation of clinical bioinformatics processes. The PDC will develop new clinical procedures and bioinformatic workflows, monitor and review performance within the clinical production process, and where applicable, improve existing analyses; monitor results and compare them to best-practice standards; and always strives to streamline efficiency, maximize quality and balance cost. The PDC collaborates closely with key stakeholders for the clinical processes including the clinical director, bioinformatics groups and quality assurance group. You will need to be prepared to take initiative, to think critically and solve complex problems, to build and nurture collaborative relationships across departments, and to learn continuously.

The position is anchored within a team of exceptional scientists, computational biologists and programmers, which collaborate directly on the development of robust, cost efficient, and competitive processes for new targeted and precision medicine analytical pipelines. By working within the GSCs bioinformatics facility, you will develop close relationships with world-renown computational and genome science technologists, cancer researchers and medical scientists; have access to one of the most robust computational and next generation genome sequencing technology facilities in Canada, all while living in one of the most beautiful, diverse and eclectic cities in the world. Your work will help to save lives and contribute to a world free from the fear of cancer.

This is an opportunity to work with highly motivated colleagues in a science-oriented, creative and dynamic environment. We offer a competitive salary, excellent benefits and significant career development opportunities.
