BACKGROUND

The laboratories of Drs. Joerg Gsponer and Thibault Mayor are looking for an outstanding candidate for a postdoc position. The position is funded by both the CIHR and NSERC and is integrated in the Michael Smith Laboratories of the University of British Columbia (UBC), a well-equipped research facility providing stimulating grounds for scientific progress in an international, multidisciplinary research environment. Dr. Mayor's laboratory develops and applies cutting-edge proteomics approaches, in order to probe changes in proteostasis and get new insights into protein quality control. Dr Gsponer's interest are complementary in that his laboratory develops computational tools that, guided by fundamental principals of biochemistry and biophysics, exploit genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic data to understand deficits in proteostasis and how they link to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Develop new pipelines for the analysis of proteomics data
Integrate and mine data from the public domain
Analyze data with appropriate statistical methods
Use supervised learning methods for predictive modeling
Collaborate closely with experimentally working group members to optimize experiments and analysis pipelines.
Participate in regular group meetings and contribute as first author to scientific publication output

REQUIREMENTS

We are looking for a highly motivated person with excellent academic record, including first author publications in peer-reviewed journals. The candidate is expected to be a motivated team player who fits into a multidisciplinary research environment. Interested individuals must have or be close to obtaining a Ph.D. in bioinformatics, computational biology, computer or information sciences, mathematical modeling or a related field. The ideal candidate should have proficiency in programming and machine learning. Applicants are expected to have excellent oral and written communication skills.

LOCALE

UBC Vancouver, Canada

HOW TO APPLY
