Job Description:
The successful candidate is expected to lead his/her own original, externally funded research program in the computational aspects of bioinformatics as it relates to genomics, other “omics” datasets and human health. The candidate should have a strong track record of productivity and innovation and a demonstrated ability to obtain external funding. This individual is also expected to lead a bioinformatics team that collaborates extensively with existing interdisciplinary teams within the Discipline of Genetics, the Department of Computer Science and the broader university community. He/she will play a pivotal role in bringing together research teams and knowledge users, and should have the ability to attract outstanding graduate students and to mentor future researchers in the field. The successful candidate will contribute to the Faculty of Medicine’s graduate program in Human Genetics (including teaching and student supervision) as well as to programs offered in Computer Science.
Closing date for applications is May 1st, 2016 or until the position is filled. The appointment is expected to commence September 1st, 2016.
The Discipline of Genetics has nine core faculty in addition to joint/cross appointees in the areas of Medicine, Clinical Epidemiology, Mathematics and Computer Science. In 2015, the academic unit moved into Faculty of Medicine’s newly constructed Craig L. Dobbin Research Centre, a unique multidisciplinary setting designed to facilitate rapid progress in genomic and clinical epidemiological research across the province. The Centre was funded by the Canadian Foundation for Innovation (CFI) and the NL provincial government, with a $50 million investment from IBM as a private sector partner. The Centre houses the largest amount of computational power and storage of any computer facility in the province, and the Chair has a unique opportunity to lead the Centre’s informatic team in a way that maximizes the research output of the existing high performance computing platforms.
The Department of Computer Science currently has 22 tenure/tenure-track and 1 regular-term faculty member and supports B.Sc., BA, M.Sc., and PhD programs in Computer Science and collaborative graduate programs with other faculties. For further details, visit www.mun.ca/computerscience
Memorial University is the largest university in Atlantic Canada. As the province’s only university, Memorial plays an integral role in the education and cultural life of Newfoundland and Labrador. Offering diverse undergraduate and graduate programs to almost 18,000 students, Memorial provides a distinctive and stimulating environment for learning. St. John’s is a safe, friendly city with great historic charm, a vibrant cultural life, and easy access to a wide range of outdoor activities.
Memorial University is committed to employment equity and encourages applications from qualified women and men, visible minorities, aboriginal people, and persons with disabilities. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadian citizens and permanent residents will be given priority.
