| Job Description: Post-doctoral positions are immediately available in the group of Dr. Gary Bader at the University of Toronto (http://baderlab.org) to study the organization and evolution of biological systems using computational biology and bioinformatics techniques. We seek to accurately predict links, such as specific molecular interactions, in eukaryotic cell signaling systems using comprehensive genomics data. We are interested to find how these links are rewired by mutations to cause disease. This work is supported through the development of open-source biological pathway and network databases and visualization and analysis software. |
Are you a PhD biologist who has experience analyzing genomics data and is a computer power user? We’re looking for you! |

| Successful applicants should have strong interest and/or experience in: * Predicting biologically relevant protein interactions * Cellular network evolution * Detection of cell type and stage active biological processes using molecular profiles * Biological pathway and network databases and analysis tools |
Genome-scale experiments, such as gene expression microarrays or SNP genotyping, typically lead to the identification of large lists of genes. The interpretation of results and the formulation of consistent biological hypotheses from these large lists are challenging. Bioinformatics approaches can aid interpretation by relating the gene lists to knowledge about the biological system, such as known pathways. This analysis can be used to generate hypotheses that can be experimentally tested. |
