About this position

The Department of Cell & Systems Biology at the University of Toronto is seeking a Research Associate for a two-year limited-term appointment in the Moses Lab, led by Professor Alan Moses.

The position is centered on computational biology and the study of how genetic regulatory networks are encoded in genome sequences and how they evolve. A major focus of the lab’s work is intrinsically disordered protein regions (IDRs), including their role in protein regulation and sequence-to-function relationships.

The successful candidate will contribute to ongoing projects in the lab and take a leadership role in research activities. The work described includes the development and execution of high-throughput assays for IDR function, analysis of biological datasets, and support for research directions that connect protein sequence with function.

The Moses Lab has recently developed a systematic functional map of human IDRs, applied protein language models to segment functional regions in the human proteome, and created IDR design software called FAIDR-Desi. The role is embedded in this active research environment in the Department of Cell & Systems Biology at the St. George campus in downtown Toronto.

The Research Associate will also contribute to supervising students and to research writing activities within the lab.

Funding details

Full-time grant-term Research Associate position; salary listed at $55,661 - $104,364.

What's required

Candidate must have a Ph.D. in Systems Biology or a related field. Minimum of 3 years of experience is required in developing high-throughput assays for disordered protein region function, including postdoctoral training. Applicants should have experience studying protein function, genetic regulatory networks and/or intrinsically disordered protein regions (IDRs), analyzing biological datasets, supervising undergraduate and graduate students, preparing research reports, grant applications, and funding proposals, presenting at international research conferences, and demonstrating a record of publications in prestigious international journals. Additional preferred skills include knowledge of high-throughput assay design, collection of high-throughput data, advanced data analysis using established computational approaches, ability to contribute to custom statistical methods, and professional scientific writing and communication.

How to apply

Apply online using the job link provided. Include a covering letter, curriculum vitae, and three reference names with their contact addresses and phone numbers. Direct any questions about the position to Prof. Alan Moses by email.
