A 2 year postdoctoral research position in bioinformatics/metagenomics
is immediately available at The Brinkman Laboratory at Simon Fraser
University (Greater Vancouver, B.C., Canada). The successful applicant
will join a dynamic, national group of interdisciplinary researchers aiming
to use metagenomics to identify improved markers of clean water that
improves upon the inaccurate fecal coliform test
(http://www.watersheddiscovery.ca/). Our goal is to change
the way we monitor water quality – identifying problems at the source
rather than at the tap. Metagenomics is being used in the project to
study how watershed microbiomes change over space and time in
human-impacted, agriculturally-impacted, and pristine watersheds.
Novel indicators of water pollution, and markers for attribution
of the source of pollution, will be identified through this large
Genome Canada-funded project.
The qualified applicant will have a Ph.D. in a relevant biological/
microbiological/bioinformatics discipline, plus demonstrated
experience in bioinformatics and/or metagenomics research.
The applicant will play a major role in prioritizing biomarkers
from the metagenomics data and will have the opportunity to
work with an exceptional, team-based group of interdisciplinary
researchers located at the BC Centre for Disease Control and
across Canada.
