Below is a list of all positions available to graduate and post-doctoral students at the Lady Davis Institute presently:
Postdoctoral/PhD Student Position in Computational Genomics Laboratory
|
Start: Immediate
|
Department:
|
The postdoctoral fellow or PhD student will be based in Montreal, with affiliations with both McGill University and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute/Broad Institute and frequent remote and in-person interactions with both laboratories.
|
Supervisors:
|
Claudia Kleinman, PhD, Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research and Rameen Beroukhim, PhD, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
|
Project description:
|
The successful applicant will join an international and interdisciplinary team of scientists that use computational genomics to investigate pathological mechanisms of gene expression. This postdoctoral fellow/PhD student will gain deep experience in both cancer genetics and epigenetics, with a focus on the regulation of chromatin structure of a variety of aggressive pediatric brain tumors, and how this interacts with genetic alterations in these tumors. Projects will include analyses of large genome-wide, multidimensional datasets and the development of new computational methods to perform such integrative genomic analyses. We anticipate that the postdoctoral fellow/PhD student will gain expertise in the analysis of a variety of cutting-edge technologies, including Hi-C and scMethyl-seq, and large multimodal datasets generated from clinical samples, mouse and cell culture models.

Postdoctoral/Graduate Position in Data Analysis with Liquid Biopsy in Pediatric Cancer Program
|
Start: Immediate
|
Department:
|
The successful candidate will be working with the team of investigators at the Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research (LDI) and the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre (RIMUHC) in Montreal, QC.
|
Supervisors:
|
Claudia Kleinman, PhD, Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research, and Dr. Janusz Rak, McGill University Health Centre Research Institute.
|
Project description:
|
Studies will include development of analytical pipelines aiming at the discovery of new cancer biomarkers through profiling of extracellular vesicles (EV), and soluble aspects of biofluids, targeting proteome and circulating nucleic acids. The project seeks actionable liquid biopsy signals reflective of salient properties of cancer cells, stroma, and systemic responses.
