ABOUT US

The NML represents Canada's main infectious disease public health lab with responsibility for reference lab-based surveillance for infectious diseases, emergency outbreak preparedness and response, training, and research and development. The NML is Canada's only Level 4 Biosafety Laboratory in Canada, and only one of a handful around the world. In modernizing Canada's surveillance and response framework, the NML has and made heavy commitments to transition Canada's public health system to incorporate genomics technologies across all of its science programs. These investments include over $10 million in high performance computing, and nearly two dozen high throughput sequencing instruments, including short-read and long-read technologies, making it one of the largest generators of microbial genomics data in the world. The Van Domselaar Lab for Bioinformatics at the NML is regarded as one of the top public health bioinformatics labs in the world.

HOW TO APPLY

To apply, please submit a CV, a research statement describing accomplishments and current interests, and a list of three references to gary.vandomselaar[at]canada.ca.
