Hours: 37.5 hours per week
Status: Temporary Full-time (3 year term)
University Health Network (UHN) is looking for an experienced professional to fill the key role of Postdoctoral Fellow in our Gehring Lab department.
Transforming lives and communities through excellence in care, discovery and learning.
More than 290 million people are chronically infected with Hepatitis B virus (HBV) with no effective cure. My lab is part of the Toronto Centre for Liver Disease, one of the largest liver clinics in North America, with an active clinical trial research program testing novel hepatitis B therapies in Phase 2 studies. New studies are incorporating longitudinal liver sampling with single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) to better understand the intrahepatic immune response to novel treatments in the context of viral control and liver inflammation.
We are looking for a bioinformatician with demonstrated experience single-cell RNA sequencing analysis. The anticipation is that this qualified person will be able to work with scRNAseq datasets with cell numbers
500,000 cells and be able to incorporate the latest analysis tools.
This is an opportunity to work with state-of-the-art data in the context of novel drugs in early-stage clinical trials. The position will involve industry collaboration with the expectation of academic publication. There will also be internal opportunities for collaboration in our basic research projects focused HBV pathogenesis using similar samples.
The successful applicant will be expected to bring novel ideas and approaches to the research program and contribute to the scientific development of the analysis plan and manuscript preparation.
A competitive compensation package will be offered based on demonstrated experience.
