The role

Help bring research to life and drive your career forward with the National Research Council of Canada (NRC), Canada’s largest research and technology organization.

We are looking for a Bioinformatics Support Specialist to join the Aquatic and Crop Resource Development (ACRD) Research Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia. This is an opportunity to apply your bioinformatics expertise to meaningful research in environmental genomics, toxicogenomics, bioprospecting, and algal biotechnology, while working with multidisciplinary teams across government, academia, and industry. The incumbent would be someone who shares our core values of Integrity, Excellence, Respect and Creativity.

The successful candidate will develop, implement, and maintain reproducible bioinformatics workflows and computational tools to process, analyze, and interpret high-throughput sequencing data, including genomics, transcriptomics, metabarcoding, and metagenomics datasets.

Working under the direction of a Team Lead, the Bioinformatics Support Specialist will contribute to the development and validation of genomic platforms, including zebrafish transcriptomics models for toxicological risk assessment, and its relevance to human-specific outcomes. Their role will also support research that advances our understanding of biological responses to environmental change, pollutants, climate change, and other stressors in aquatic and marine ecosystems, with a particular focus on the analysis of microbial and algal communities.

The Bioinformatics Support Specialist will:

Provide bioinformatics support for the analysis and interpretation of functional genomics data, with an emphasis on RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq).
Provide bioinformatics support for the analysis of genomic, metagenomic, metabarcoding, and other high-throughput DNA sequencing datasets.
Develop, implement, maintain, and document reproducible bioinformatics workflows and computational pipelines for omics data analysis.
Maintain accurate documentation of analytical workflows, methods, and results, and communicate findings effectively through written reports and oral presentations.
Prepare and contribute to scientific publications, technical reports, conference presentations, and other knowledge dissemination activities.
Conceive and initiate computational biology projects, contribute to grant and funding proposals, and collaborate with a broad range of internal and external partners.
Contribute to ACRD's multidisciplinary research environment by providing technical expertise, supporting collaborative research projects, and mentoring researchers and trainees as appropriate.

Significant* experience developing, implementing, and maintaining reproducible bioinformatics workflows for DNA sequence (genomic and metagenomics), including quality control and processing, assembly, taxonomic classification and bioprospecting to identify novel genes, metabolic pathways, and bioactive compounds.
Significant* experience developing, implementing and maintaining complete RNAseq workflow from sequencing data to downstream analysis.
Experience** using bioinformatics software and tools for DNA/RNA sequence analysis and manipulation in Linux/Unix environments.
Experience** programming and scripting for bioinformatics applications using one or more languages such as Python, R, Bash (Unix shell), Perl, Java, or C/C++.
