Tier II Canada Research Chair in Computational Oncology Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Cumming School of Medicine @ University of Calgary The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in partnership with the Arnie Charbonneau Cancer Institute in the Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary, invite applications for a tenure-track appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor in the area of computational oncology. The selected candidate will also be nominated for a Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR) Tier II Canada Research Chair (CRC) in Computational Oncology. With a deeper understanding of the molecular profiles, clinical characteristics, and patient factors that influence cancer risk, progression, prognosis, and outcomes, we can develop more precise and effective approaches to cancer diagnosis and treatment. This approach to delivering precision cancer medicine relies on the use of computational and data science approaches to make sense of large and highly complex, multiscale datasets. The successful applicant will be expected to leverage advanced computing, artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), in silico modeling, software and tool development, and/or data engineering to integrate and interpret large and complex datasets, enabling more precise classification of tumours, prediction and monitoring of response to treatment, prediction of disease recurrence,



and/or modeling of tumour behaviour in individual patients. These approaches will also generate new biological insights into the pathways and mechanisms that drive cancer development. Applicants will require evidence or promise of original high-quality research and scholarship and future development as a scholar. The applicant will also have evidence or promise of the ability to obtain funding as well as evidence or promise of effectiveness in teaching and trainee mentorship at the University level or equivalent. In addition to fostering a thriving training program, the selected candidate will participate in undergraduate and graduate teaching. Experience with lecturing and cutting-edge educational approaches, course development and coordination, and a demonstrated record of impact in undergraduate teaching. The selected applicant will also have opportunities to be involved in administrative and service activities that affect the Cumming School of Medicine community.
