Position: Program Manager Site: MaRS Centre, Toronto Department: Genome Informatics and Computational Biology Reports To: Director of Genome Informatics and Computational Biology Salary: Commensurate with level of experience Hours: 35 hours/week Status: Full-time, Permanent The Ontario Institute for Cancer Research (OICR) is seeking an experienced Program Manager to support the management of a broad range of research and operational activities within the Genome Informatics and Computational Biology Programs. Major responsibilities include coordinating with other internal and externally based OICR Programs, managing research deliverables and milestones, and assisting in the development of tactical and strategic plans.

The Program Manager is expected to take a leadership role in the identification of new program level efficiencies, community building activities, research opportunities and the development of new collaborative projects. Within the Genome Informatics and Computational Biology Programs, the Program Manager will interact mainly with the Directors, Principal Investigators, as well as scientific, engineering and administrative staff. This role will also interact frequently with the Head of Research Operations, other Program Managers at OICR and across the province, and OICR personnel in administrative functions such as finance, human resources, facilities, sponsored awards, grants and awards, procurement, and communications.

The MaRS Centre has a mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policy in place that requires proof of full COVID-19 vaccination or proof of a medical exemption issued pursuant to the Government of Ontario guidelines. Accordingly, as a condition of employment, new employees who may be required to work on-site are required to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 subject to the duty to accommodate on the basis of protected grounds pursuant to the Ontario Human Rights Code.

Fully vaccinated is defined as having received all of the required doses of a Health Canada approved vaccine and having received the final dose at least 14 days before your employment start date.

As described above, the requirement to be fully vaccinated is subject to the Ontario Human Rights Code. If the candidate is unable to receive the COVID-19 vaccine for a reason protected by the Code, requests for accommodation from the vaccine policy will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

The Dean’s Office in the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine invites applications for a Bioinformatician/Data Scientist. This Full-time Fixed Term position is for approximately 2 years (based on length of grant funding), with the possibility of extension.

The Bioinformatician/ Data Scientist reports to and receives directions from the Associate Dean, Research. This position exists to provide expert bioinformatic support and training to Faculty members and their research teams in the University of Calgary Faculty of Veterinary Medicine (UCVM). The Bioinformatician/Data Scientist will be involved in a variety of projects across the faculty, however will have significant impact across the university.

This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated candidate interested in applying their bioinformatics skills to support a wide range of basic and applied research projects. The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine encompasses a diversity of research programs requiring bioinformatic support that includes research in stem cell biology, regenerative medicine, microbiomes, infectious disease and immunology, and clinical applications.

Work on cutting-edge research projects in Oncology Bioinformatics at Genentech. We develop/apply novel computational concepts to molecular data to understand cancer biology and develop new drugs.

The candidate for this role will have a strong background in computational biology and -omics data analysis, an excitement to contribute to early-stage drug programs, and at least some experience leveraging advanced computational models or machine learning / deep learning frameworks. In this role, you will contribute to basic research in Oncology Bioinformatics, applying these approaches to improve our understanding of molecular dependencies in cancer. Specifically, the successful candidate will be proficient in (or able to learn and adapt to) data analysis, integration, and visualization across diverse -omics platform types (including cutting-edge technologies, such as single-cell and long-read RNA sequencing), and have a strong track-record of contributing to and driving relevant genomic research as evidenced by high-impact publications.

The position is full-time and the candidate is expected to work remotely, but must be located in Canada. Specifically the position can be setup as either fixed-term contract (with renewal) or potentially a permanent FTE position depending on the candidate’s background and preference.
