Job Summary The Edwin S. H. Leong Centre for Healthy Aging (ELCHA) is seeking a highly motivated and ambitious Data Analyst for the Canadian Microbiome Mapping Initiative (CMMI). The primary goal of the CMMI is to develop an integrated multi ‘omics platform to investigate the biological mechanisms and pathways by which the microbiome influences health and disease. This will include investigations into healthy aging as well as validation of the platform in clinical contexts, beginning with Parkinson’s disease. The successful candidate will serve as a data manager to liaise between the project’s different data generating and database development teams and facilitate the integration, analysis, and interpretation of datasets. Organizational Status The CMMI is a large, collaborative initiative involving investigators in the ELCHA, other UBC research centres, and external collaborators. The position works under the scientific and technical guidance of the CMMI Data Integration and Analysis Committee (Dr. Raymond Ng, Dr. Emilia Lim, and Dr. Keegan Korthauer), and reports to the CMMI Project Manager for day-to-day operations, prioritization, and project delivery. The position also works in close collaboration with CMMI investigators, bioinformaticians, laboratory personnel, and research staff. The position will provide technical supervision and mentorship to computational biology trainees, technicians, and graduate students, as appropriate.  

The Edwin S. H. Leong Centre for Healthy Aging (ELCHA) is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Fellow for the Canadian Microbiome Mapping Initiative (CMMI).  This will be a 100% FTE (full-time) position for a one-year term with the possibility of renewal. Work will be performed on-site at the Edwin S. H. Leong Centre for Healthy Aging at the UBC Vancouver campus with the possibility of a hybrid work agreement. The salary range for this position is $65,000 – $75,000 per annum, plus benefits. The primary goal of the CMMI is to develop an integrated multi ‘omics platform to investigate the biological mechanisms and pathways by which the microbiome influences health and disease.

The Yang Zhang Lab at the National University of Singapore (NUS) is recruiting two postdoctoral fellows in artificial intelligence and computational biology. The lab is jointly based in the School of Computing, the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, and the Cancer Science Institute of Singapore, working at the interface of computer science, structural biology, and biomedical research. The positions focus on developing next-generation AI methods for biomolecular modeling and AI-driven drug discovery, including protein/RNA folding, structure prediction, and sequence design. The research is method-driven, emphasizing original algorithm/model development (foundation-model architectures integrating sequence, structure, and physical information) rather than applying existing pipelines to standard benchmarks. Fellows will work in a computationally intensive environment with access to large-scale HPC (hybrid NVIDIA GPU/CPU clusters) and are expected to lead projects from conception through large-scale training and rigorous evaluation.
