About the role

  • A computational postdoctoral researcher position is available in the laboratory of Dr.
  • Gregory Schwartz to study cellular diversity in response to anti-cancer therapies.
  • The Schwartz Lab is located within the heart of the Discovery District, at the intersection of the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, the University of Toronto, and MaRS, the centre of a rich network of scientists and clinicians.

Responsibilities

  • Develop novel computational methods to identify cellular populations using multiomic integration
  • Develop reproducible pipelines for high-throughput data analysis
  • Towards this goal, the laboratory develops novel multi-omic and single-cell computational methods to improve cancer diagnosis and treatment through precision medicine.
  • For more information on the types of tools we will develop, please visit https://schwartzlab.ca/.

Requirements

  • Awarded a PhD within the previous 5 years, with a degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Bioinformatics, or Computational Biology, or related field.
  • Experience with version control, specifically Git and GitHub

Nice to have

  • Experience with Next generation sequencing data formats such as FASTQ, BAM, Matrix Market, and HDF5 is a plus
  • Experience with Haskell, R, and LaTeX is a plus

Skills

  • Enhance writing skills by contributing to grant applications
  • Excellent writing and verbal communication skills

Compensation

  • $54,902 - $93,333 Annually

Benefits

  • As Canada's top research hospital, the scope of biomedical research and complexity of cases at UHN have made it a national and international source for discovery, education and patient care.
  • UHN's vision is to build A Healthier World and it's only because of the talented and dedicated people who work here that we are continually bringing that vision closer to reality.
  • Track cancer-cell evolution across treatments using deep-learning architectures
