The candidate will be exposed to multiple teams with complementary skillsets working across a range of labs and campuses. This position will utilize our existing research capacity in field sampling to follow with molecular detection using nucleic acid sequencing (amplicon and/or shotgun) based approaches. Applying or developing bioinformatics analysis pipelines is an essential part of this work. This postdoc will play a key role in our team¿s efforts to disseminate information, and there will be abundant opportunities to contribute to peer-reviewed publications and presentations. Accordingly, contributing to the preparation of manuscripts will be a high-priority objective for this position. Additional responsibilities will include participating in and supporting the team described above and some supervision of junior colleagues. Qualifications • PhD in bioinformatics, molecular biology, microbiology, or a related field • Strong experience in (meta)genomics or bioinformatics, preferably antimicrobial resistance or wastewater environment • Experience in scripting in Python and/or R, use of software for genomic or metagenomic analysis, and data visualization • Experience with biostatistical approaches is desirable • Understanding of analytical methods, particularly in molecular microbiology • Must be able to work in a team environment and interact with a diverse range of colleagues and collaborators • Strong communication skills as well as good organizational, time management, and problem-solving skills • Ability to work independently and resourcefully, while interacting effectively with internal and external stakeholders at all levels of the organization • Able to work within a collaborative setting with others to set clear priorities while managing multiple timelines and objectives • Evidence of good research productivity • Strong academic writing potential How To Apply Candidates applications should include the following: • A brief cover letter outlining interest in this project, detailing qualifications and/or related experience as well as career goals • A detailed resumé • Name and contact information of three references • An example of your peer-reviewed publications. • The terms and conditions of employment are covered under the UCalgary and PDAC Collective Agreement.
