| == Summer Students == * Undergraduate students seeking a Computational Biology/Bioinformatics research position for the summer are encouraged to contact [:GaryBader:Gary Bader] by e-mail, ideally between January-April of that year, to find out about available summer positions. Select students from the [http://www.mshri.on.ca/summer.html Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute at Mount Sinai Hospital summer program] may also be hired. Also, the Molecular Genetics Department has a [http://www.utoronto.ca/medicalgenetics/undergradresearch.htm summer program that you can apply to]. Computer programming ability and a strong interest in biology is required. * {{{ Want to write open source code? Want to make money? Want to do both? In 2007 alone, Google Summer of Code brought together 900 students and nearly 1500 mentors across 90 countries to contribute to over 130 different open source software projects. We¹re looking for mentors and students to join us in making 2008 the best Summer of Code yet! We¹ll be offering successful student contributors a 4500 USD stipend, enabling them to focus on their coding projects for three months. Google will accept student applications from 24 - 31 March. We are pleased to announce that GenMAPP is planning to participate again this year as one of the mentoring organizations. We will be serving as an umbrella organization for Cytoscape, GenMAPP-CS, and WikiPathways projects. These projects are at the intersection of Biology and Computer Science, enabling discovery through visualization and analysis of biological data in the context of pathways and networks. Check out our Google Summer of Code "Ideas Page" to learn more about our projects and how to apply: http://conklinwolf.ucsf.edu/genmappwiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2008 }}} == Undergraduate Project Courses == * If you plan to take an undergraduate project course and are interested in Computational Biology or Bioinformatics, please contact [:GaryBader:Gary Bader] by e-mail to explore the possibilities of completing a research project in the Bader group. These courses are available in most departments, for instance in [http://www.utoronto.ca/medicalgenetics/undergradresearch.htm Molecular Genetics] |

{{{ Job Title: Postdoctoral positions in computational biology/bioinformatics of cellular networks Required Skills: Strong background in molecular biology or biochemistry, bioinformatics, statistics, computer programming. 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. 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 The Bader group is situated in the newly built Donnelly Centre for Cellular and Biomolecular Research, a major international centre of genomics, proteomics and systems biology research, in the heart of the exciting cosmopolitan city of Toronto. Please send your CV, research interests and the names of 3 references to gary.bader@utoronto.ca }}} = Bioinformatics Software Developers = No openings at this time. Please check back in the future. = Project Manager, Training and Outreach Coordinator = Are you a biologist turned manager interested in computational biology? We are looking for a motivated and highly organized individual to help manage a bioinformatics and genomics software development project and coordinate community outreach and training. Helping to lead a small bioinformatics team, the incumbent will provide project management, community outreach and training for the GeneMANIA gene function prediction system targeted at biologist and computational biologist users. The candidate will be responsible for project management (recruiting; reporting; prioritizing software features; user testing of software; organizing and chairing meetings), training (creating education material; organizing online and in-person tutorials and workshops), and community outreach (presenting at conferences; identifying and reaching out to scientist users; soliciting, responding to and tracking user feedback, advertising the project by writing website content, tracking usage statistics, working with relevant organizations like biological standards organizations and model organism database groups) to coordinate development). The GeneMANIA research project is situated in the newly built Donnelly Centre for Cellular and Biomolecular Research, a major international centre of excellence in genomics, proteomics and systems biology research, in the heart of the exciting cosmopolitan city of Toronto. Minimum Qualifications: Education: M.Sc. in a biology (or a related field), preferably in genomics or bioinformatics, and teaching experience or an M.Sc in education with experience in genomics or bioinformatics. Skills: an organizational genius, a go-getter personality, excellent communication skills, public speaking, project management, writing, leadership, problem solving Email resume and details of three references to: ccbr.software.jobs at gmail.com '''Note: Unfortunately, due to email overload, I can only reply selectively, but don't let this discourage you from emailing me.
