Hi, Potentially of interest to some on the list. I am not involved in hiring for this position, but Fredericton is a lovely small city (did my undergrad at UNB). I would be happy to provide info on life in this area if you are interested.
Cheers, Julia http://www.unb.ca/hr/_resources/php/print-academic-posting.php?theid=aKCf The University of New Brunswick (UNB) Biology Department is seeking a Bioinformatician at the Instructor level to support departmental research and to teach courses at the graduate and undergraduate levels. The position involves developing bioinformatic tools and designing strategies to facilitate handling and analysis of large datasets generated by NGS platforms (DNA-seq, RNA-seq), in addition to proteomic, metabolomic, and other high-throughput analyses. It is expected that the successful candidate will participate in projects with UNB Biology researchers that are focused on functional, evolutionary and environmental genomics. The selected candidate will provide support by generating and curating sequence databases, administrating bioinformatics software, and consulting with individual researchers to develop novel analytical approaches. The incumbent will offer bioinformatics courses and training workshops at undergraduate and graduate levels focused on programming, database management, processing of NGS datasets (e.g., sequence quality control, assembly) and downstream analysis (e.g., gene annotation, SNPs analysis, phylogenetic analysis). Opportunities are available to create synergies within the Department, the University, and the broader region (e.g., accessing ACEnet or other high performance computer resources). This tenure track position is available beginning July 1, 2015. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in computational biology, life sciences, or a related discipline, and should have demonstrated, or the potential for, excellence in teaching. The candidate is expected to have experience handling large NGS datasets (e.g., gene expression data, complete genomic sequences) and knowledge of computer languages common to bioinformatics. This position is subject to budgetary approval. Applicants should send, in hard copy, a curriculum vitae, a teaching dossier (including teaching philosophy and prior teaching experience), a statement of research interests, and the names of three referees willing to provide letters of reference, to: C/o Melanie Lawson Department of Biology University of New Brunswick P. O. Box 4400 Fredericton, NB E3B 5A3 The deadline for applications is May 29, 2015. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority. Applicants should indicate current citizenship status. THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW BRUNSWICK IS COMMITTED TO THE PRINCIPLE OF EMPLOYMENT EQUITY
