Research associate position in Bioinformatics / Computational biology

AdLab, a bioinformatics laboratory in the Research Center of the CHU de Québec – Université Laval is deeply involved in data integration, machine learning, deep learning, and the application of large language models to analyse biological big data. Its multidisciplinary team consists of bioinformaticians, data scientists, and biostatisticians working together to push the boundaries of computational biology.

The rapid advancements in ‘omics’ technologies—such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics—are revolutionizing our understanding of biological mechanisms. These technologies, however, generate vast amounts of heterogeneous data that require sophisticated computational approaches. AdLab  is dedicated to developing cutting-edge tools and pipelines to efficiently process and integrate multi-omics data, particularly those obtained from next-generation sequencing platforms and including single-cell and proteomics data. To support this mission, we are seeking a skilled bioinformatician to join our team.
