Programmer for antimicrobial resistance prediction tools
McGill University
Canada-Quebec
Our team of diverse, collaborative computational biologists is seeking a programmer/web developer to implement and deploy web-based tools for the prediction of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) based on bacterial genome sequence data. Our team is led by Drs. Maxwell Libbrecht and Leonid Chindelevitch, professors of Computing Science at Simon Fraser University, and Dr. Jesse Shapiro at the McGill University Genome Centre. The successful candidate will be based at the McGill Genome Centre, but will work closely (remotely) with collaborators at Simon Fraser University, BC.
Qualifications
The successful applicant will have significant experience with programming in languages such as Python, R and Java, and with web development, including JavaScript and various frameworks. Familiarity with bioinformatics (in particular, Bioconda), next-generation sequencing data, and microbiology is also an asset. The ability to work collaboratively is also essential. The candidate will gain experience with deep learning and other artificial intelligence methods, and co-author scientific papers.
