Job Description:
The Radiobiology and Health Branch at the Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) invites applications for a permanent position in Bioinformatics. The Radiobiology and Health Branch performs Research & Development activities in support of the Government of Canada Science & Technology priorities, CANDU Owners Group, commercial and internal research activities investigating the biological effects of ionizing radiation as it relates to radiological protection of human and nuclear medicine. The incumbent will develop and maintain Bioinformatics expertise within a vibrant team of radiobiologists to support various research areas, such as cell biology, mutagenesis, carcinogenesis, epigenetics, immunology and stem cell biology. The incumbent will be working at a premier research site in Canada located in Chalk River, next to the Ottawa River and close to Algonquin Park. CNL harbors unique expertise and facilities in radiation research and has a legacy of contributing to world's leading research and scientific discoveries in the field of nuclear sciences DUTIES: The incumbent has overall responsibility for the day-to-day supervision and management of research activities that have been assigned to him/her by the Branch manager. This includes, but is not limited to the following: -Working closely with biologists to provide customized bioinformatics, computational, technological and scientific expertise and support. -Setting up and/or maintaining next generation sequencing data analysis pipelines that perform standard and customized bioinformatics methods. -Establishing standard operating procedures, documentation and scripts to generate custom reports. -Developing materials for Bioinformatics tutorials for training stuff on related methods and analyses. -Proposing and managing R&D work packages and conducting bioinformatics research in areas relevant to radiation effects and risk assessment. -Managing research projects by proposing and leading work packages, coordinating research activities, and interacting with staff and management. -Providing technical guidance on-the-job training, leadership and supervision for technical staff, including performing yearly Performance Assessments. May also supervise large groups of scientific and technical support staff (including students, graduate students, post-doctoral trainees and visiting scientists) or a smaller group engaged in highly technical applications.. Submitting budgets for research proposals and overseeing budgets and expenditures. The incumbent has the responsibility to manage staff effort in an efficient and cost effective manner. Seeking opportunities for external funding of research. -Analysing the results of the team's scientific research, and preparing research reports for publication in peer reviewed scientific literature, as well as research reports for internal and external customers. Delivering oral presentations at technical meetings and attend appropriate technical workshops. Producing a variety of documentation including operations reports working and QA/QC instructions, scientific reports and papers etc -Providing novel solutions to problems -Leading R&D activities for commercial applications -Resolving complex multi-disciplinary problems Influencing company's strategic technical direction -Producing routine administrative, progress and technical reports. -Approving working procedures, including quality verification activities. -Ensuring that all activities are carried out with due diligence relative to established Quality Assurance/Quality Control requirements, applicable environmental and safety regulations and requirements (industrial and radiological), and company policies and procedures (including relevant labour contracts). -Providing assistance to the Branch Manager when requested. QUALIFICATIONS -PhD in Bioinformatics or in a relevant scientific area from a university of recognized standing with a minimum of 7-10 years of relevant postdoctoral experience. -A minimum of 7 years of supervisory experience in a research environment is desirable (adequacy to be determined by Branch Manager) -Knowledge and experience in bioinformatics, biostatistics, computational biology, genomics and molecular biology -Experience in scripting using common programming languages including Python, Java, R -Solid knowledge of Next Generation Sequencing analysis tools; knowledge of Mass-Spec/Proteomics analyses is desirable -Good understanding of signalling molecular pathways and networks, epigenomics, micro-RNA and relevant data mining and prediction algorithms for hypothesis generation and biological interpretation -Demonstrated ability to publish as lead or senior author in areas relevant to Bioinformatics as described above -Demonstrated ability to effectively communicate within multidisciplinary environment and audiences, including shareholders (non-expert) -Good oral and written English communication skills are essential to the performance of the duties of the post. The incumbent must be able to effectively interact with staff at various levels (technical, management and customer) to meet operational objectives.
