Job description: Offer Description

The Michael Smith Laboratories in the Faculty of Science at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver seeks candidates for a tenure-stream position in Computational Cell Biology. It is expected that the successful applicant will be appointed at the rank of Assistant Professor, tenure track, although a higher rank might be possible for an outstanding candidate of exceptional qualifications who also meets the eligibility requirement to apply for a CRC Tier 2. The expected start date is July 1, 2024, or as soon as possible thereafter.

This is a search for candidates in the area of computational and quantitative cell biology. The position requires a minimum of a Ph.D. and will be expected to lead an independent computation-based research program focused on developing and applying innovative approaches for single-cell data analysis. We are defining “single-cell analysis” as broadly encompassing a range of modalities such as cell-level genomics, proteomics or imaging, in any application area(s) ranging from molecular mechanisms of cell development and differentiation, cell-centered pathophysiology to the modeling and engineering of in vitro cell systems. We seek candidates who can contribute to collaborative and transformative research projects with other scientists within the MSL, the Faculty of Science, and indeed the broader campus using cutting edge quantitative methods. The candidate will be expected to contribute excellence in undergraduate and graduate teaching in appropriate partner departments, effectively supervise graduate students, provide service within the MSL and the University, and be prepared to integrate their expertise with other innovative researchers at the University’s Vancouver and Okanagan campuses. The successful candidate will have a strong commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion, to create a welcoming community for all, particularly those who are historically, persistently or systemically marginalized.

The Michael Smith Laboratories (MSL; ) is a dynamic hub for groundbreaking research and education excellence. Our highly interdisciplinary and collaborative research environment supports faculty with focus in genomics, molecular biology, engineering, and biotechnology. More than 350 faculty, postdocs, students, and research personnel make the MSL their home with appointments across the Faculties of Science, Medicine, Applied Science, Forestry, Land and Food Systems, and Pharmaceutical Science. The MSL has a proven record of accomplishment in fundamental and applied research that has led to transformative impacts for Canada and the world.
