University of Calgary -
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.

Washington University in St. Louis -
The NeuroGenomics and Informatics (NGI) Center lead by Dr. Carlos Cruchaga at Washington University School of Medicine is recruiting a Bioinformatics Scientist to work on Whole Genome and Whole Exome Sequencing. We are seeking an experienced, self-motivated, self-driven scientist to work as a part of vibrant group in a fast-paced environment. The NGI generates and analyzes Whole-Genome and high-throughput multi-dimensional omic data to study neurodegenerative diseases of the central nervous system with emphasis on Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. The goal of our research is to use genomic and multi-omic approaches to understand the biology of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson diseases. Our labs have pioneered the use of new biomarkers as endophenotypes for genetic studies.

Genentech Inc (through Roche in Canada) -
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.

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory -
In this exciting role, you will support a researcher developing cutting edge approaches to environmental genomics and modeling used together to optimize prediction of the critical genetic factors and their variations that contribute to the fitness and activity of microbes in an environmental context.
In this role, you will participate in a computational and experimental research programs to (1) create ultra-high quality metagenomic analyses of environmental samples, (2) the taxonomic and functional composition and capabilities of complex communities, (3) infer the molecular mechanisms by which microbes thrive in diverse environments, and/or develop approaches to identify and dissect the selective advantages of micro diversity and mobile elements in differentiating the survival of specific microbes and mediating their interactions.
