Jobs

Dr. Kevin Petrecca’s Lab at the Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital, McGill University is recruiting Bioinformatics Research Assistants, Associates, and Analysts. We are applying state-of-the-art technologies to our highly valuable and unique human brain datasets to uncover fundamental biological mechanisms that govern brain cancer initiation, development, and evolution, as well as the biology of the human brain. We offer a competitive salary, in line with McGill’s salary range, and based on your skills and experience.

Under the direction of the Bioinformatics group lead, and based on your skills and interests, you will perform advanced bioinformatics analyses to interpret biological Omics data such as variant calling, annotations, single-cell transcriptomic, and spatial transcriptomics (large datasets by our platform), single-nucleus ATAC-seq and other Omics data on brain datasets, as well as managing datasets and benchmarking new Omics and bioinformatics tools.

The Bioinformatician is responsible for bioinformatics analysis and education/outreach provided by the Life Science Institute (LSI) Bioinformatics Core Facility. The successful applicant will provide bioinformatics advice to multidisciplinary research teams on appropriate research designs and corresponding analyses and provide computational and writing support on research projects. The successful candidate will be responsible for creating and leading bioinformatics workshops delivered to the LSI and UBC community. The ideal candidate is passionate about applied bioinformatics and enjoys building collaborative relationships with diverse groups with varied bioinformatics needs and levels of knowledge.

The Ontario Institute for Cancer Research (OICR) is seeking an experienced and highly motivated individual to act as Outreach Coordinator for the Reactome project.

Reactome (reactome.org) is an open access and open-source curated database of human biomolecular pathways. Pathways are assembled from the published literature by Masters- and PhD-level scientists and integrated into powerful bioinformatics analysis tools on the Reactome website. Our interdisciplinary and international team comprises biologists, software engineers, and user interface designers. 

As Reactome Outreach Coordinator, you will lead our community outreach activities, strengthening existing collaborations and developing initiatives to foster new ones. Working with the software and curatorial teams, you will coordinate Reactome communications, including conference presentations, workshops, scientific and lay papers, and social media. You will develop education and training materials for in person and online learning and will contribute to the documentation on the Reactome web site.
