Toronto Ontario CA, Ontario University Health Network Full time

The University Health Network, where “above all else the needs of patients come first”, encompasses Toronto General Hospital, Toronto Western Hospital, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, Toronto Rehabilitation Institute and the Michener Institute of Education. The breadth of research, the complexity of the cases treated, and the magnitude of its educational enterprise has made UHN a national and international resource for patient care, research and education. With a long tradition of ground breaking firsts and a purpose of “Transforming lives and communities through excellence in care, discovery and learning”, the University Health Network (UHN), Canada’s largest research teaching hospital, brings together over 16,000 employees, more than 1,200 physicians, 8,000+ students, and many volunteers. UHN is a caring, creative place where amazing people are amazing the world.

Candidates must have expertise deploying web applications and relational database management systems (e.g. MySQL, PostgresSQL) as well as sound software development practices. We would additionally value expertise liaising with database software vendors and external technical support on issues such as software upgrades, problems and potential solutions. A flair for data visualization and GUI design is a major asset. Preferred, but not required, is a familiarity with cancer and population genome analysis techniques and associated analytic tools including the Genome Analysis Toolkit, the Picard suite of tools, germline variant annotation, and mutation detection algorithms. Applicants should have 3-5 years of software development experience, ideally in an academic hospital environment. The Division of Genome Diagnostics is directly involved in the translation of research tools for genome analysis into clinical practice, and therefore adherence to high standards of ethical conduct, work quality, and professional management are a must. This is an opportunity to play a central role in a growing, fast-paced clinical laboratory community with high potential to positively impact care of cancer patients.
