Post-Doctoral Scientist
POSITION: The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the University of British Columbia, in partnership with the BCCDC Public Health Microbiology and Reference Laboratory, is seeking a post-doctoral scientist with experience in microbial genomics or bioinformatics. The successful applicant will perform metagenomics on environmental water samples in order to identify novel indicators for water quality and microbial source tracking. These genetic targets will be validated and developed into commercializable molecular assays in the latter half of the project. The successful applicant will generate and analyze metagenomic data from environmental water samples in order to identify novel indicators for water quality and microbial source tracking. Duties may include field sampling, wet-bench work, and computational and statistical analysis of next-generation sequencing data. more...
