Jobs

We are extending our bioinformatics team and are seeking an enthusiastic bioinformatician who would like to build and advance their career in translational cancer genomics and spearhead the implementation of next generation sequencing and different multi-omics methodologies in routine cancer diagnostics and precision medicine.

As a bioinformatician, you will conduct analyses of genomics data from childhood /adult cancers, hereditary diseases and cancer predisposition syndromes in close collaboration with molecular biologists, geneticists, pediatric oncologists and other bioinformaticians. Examples of recent projects include the development of bioinformatic algorithms based on long-read panel sequencing technology for diagnostic approaches as well as genomic, transcriptomic and epigenomic analyses of pediatric leukemia and solid tumors on primary tumors and liquid biopsies, and the analysis of experimental model systems (e.g. Shahin T et al Science Immunology 2021; Halbritter et al Cancer Discovery 2019; Peneder P*, Stütz AM* et al Nature Communications 2021; Popitsch et al Bioinformatics 2021 and Schinnerl et al Haematologica 2019). The research institute CCRI is also involved in several large-scale national and international research collaborations and serves as a national reference center for several clinical trials.

The position is focused on acting as an active member of the bioinformatics core unit and as service provider for the different research groups at the CCRI but also offers opportunities for independent and applied research of novel bioinformatics methodologies related to the CCRI research programs.

The Centre for Applied Genomics (TCAG; www.tcag.ca) and the Strug Lab is seeking bioinformaticians or computer scientist to develop research software that integrates large-scale analyses of high-throughput omics data, for a variety of research projects led by investigators at The Hospital for Sick Children and around the world.

CHEO Research Institute  has an immediate requirement for a PhD Data Scientist/ Biostatistician/ Methodologist

As a member of the Clinical Research Unit (CRU), the methodologist/biostatistician will work to ensure rigour and reproducibility in clinical research studies to answer important questions about child health.

The successful candidate will assist and contribute to:

• Study design
• Statistical analysis plan design
• Data analysis in R
• Overseeing and mentoring other team members
• Scientific manuscripts
• Grants

Under the direction of the Bioinformatics Manager, the Bioinformatics Analyst will be a member of the services team at Canadian Centre for Computational Genomics (C3G), a bioinformatics platform hosted at the McGill Genome Centre (MGC). The chosen candidate will perform advanced bioinformatics analyses that enable the interpretation of data generated by various biological assays, in addition to supporting the development of analysis pipelines at the platform. Working closely with other members of the McGill Genome Centre, the chosen candidate will be exposed to a wide variety of novel sequencing technologies, bioinformatics approaches and state-of-the-art computing resources in a facility dedicated to high-throughput sequencing and large-scale genomic studies.
