Description

A 2 year postdoctoral research position in bioinformatics/systems biology is now available at the Department of Microbiology and Immunology, UBC, Vancouver, Canada. The successful applicant will join a dynamic, international group of researchers including experimental biologists, immunologists, bioinformaticians, database and software developers and systems biologists.

The position involves working as part of this multi-disciplinary team to use large-scale genomics and system biology approaches to investigate the regulation and functionality of the human immune response to infectious agents, and learning how to exploit this knowledge to develop novel antimicrobial therapies and adjuvants. The position will involve leading the analysis of large in-house and public gene-expression datasets together with
protein-protein and protein-DNA interaction network information from our manually-curated, in-house developed, database – InnateDB.

This project has very significant funding through two Grand Challenges in Global Health grants (http://www.innateregulators.com/) and a Genome Canada grant “The Pathogenomics of Innate Immunity” (http://www.pathogenomics.ca/) and provides the opportunity for the successful candidate to work with world-class researchers based at several different Canadian institutes, in the UK, Ireland and Singapore.

The qualified applicant will have a Ph.D. in a relevant biological discipline or in computer science plus demonstrated experience in bioinformatics research. Familiarity with working in a Linux/Unix environment, plus experience with relational databases (e.g. MySQL) and programming in Perl or C, C++ are required. Previous experience with large scale genomic analyses, particularly gene expression analysis or network analysis would be an asset.
