McGill University -
BRAINCODE, the bioinformatics team at the Neuro – McGill University, Dr. Kevin Petrecca’s Lab, is recruiting Bioinformatics Research Assistant, Associate. We are applying state-of-the-art technologies, including our single cell spatial transcriptomics platform, to our highly valuable and unique human brain datasets, enabling us to uncover fundamental biological mechanisms that govern brain cancer initiation, development and evolution, as well as the biology of human brain. We offer a competitive salary, in line with McGill’s salary range, and based on your skills and experience.
Under the direction and supervision of BRAINCODE lead (Javad Nadaf, PhD), you will perform advanced bioinformatics analyses to interpret biological Omics data such as variant calling, annotations, single-nucleus ATAC-seq, single cell transcriptomic, spatial transcriptomics, and other Omics data on brain datasets. The job is a Hybrid of dry lab and wet lab. Most of the responsibilities are bioinformatics with some wet lab work related to upstream and potentially downstream of the data analysis.

Dalhousie University -
The Canadian Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (CB2) Platform is a CIHR-funded
initiative designed to establish a pan-Canadian network of training and community sites in six
provincial regions with the aim to increase bioinformatics, computational biology, and data
science capacity among researchers. Led by Bioinformatics.ca which is currently hosted by the
Ontario Institute for Cancer Research (OICR), the CB2 Platform will consist of a centralized
platform for the management of bioinformatics, computational biology and health data science
training opportunities. The platform will also coordinate the management of CB2 career
supporting activities including mentorship, professional skill development, awards, and
community-building activities. The CB2 Platform aims to grow CB2 capacity among all health
and life-science researchers, especially Early Career Researchers and equity-deserving
professionals.
Dalhousie University is seeking a Regional Coordinator to take on coordination of the CB2
Platform’s bioinformatics, computational biology and data science training and community
building activities across the Atlantic Provinces. As a national initiative, this high-profile position
will help realize the CB2 Platform’s goals to create an innovative training platform and thriving
bioinformatics, computational biology and data-science community. The role involves identifying
and championing the training needs of the Atlantic region, and bringing innovative training
programs to your entire region and its diversity of audiences, as well as coordinating these
offerings with the platform’s other regions. Training offerings may be from the Canadian
Bioinformatics Workshops, Carpentries or other providers who meet the core requirements of
the CB2 Platform. The role also involves developing and promoting career and community
building activities that extend and support the learning experience beyond the classroom and
engages diverse and underrepresented audiences.
