Postdoctoral Fellowship, Computational Biology

Ottawa, Canada National Research Council Canada Full time

Aberrant lipid metabolism is linked genetically to risk of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), Parkinson’s Disease with Dementia (PDD), and Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB). It is not known how lipid metabolism mechanistically contributes to cognitive decline nor whether onset of dementia can be delayed by intervening in lipid metabolism. We hypothesize that specific disruptions in phospholipid and sphingolipid metabolic networks act synergistically with α-synuclein (α-syn) and amyloid-β (Aβ) to elicit cognitive decline. Machine learning models have been explored to determine diagnostic markers and therapy targets however they were not able to provide understanding of causal relationships with the lipidome. In this project we will be working on the development of mathematical methods for the determination of causal relationships between lipid molecules and disease development for assessment of early disease markers and targets for treatment before significant brain damage is incurred. Project is collaboration between NRC and University of Ottawa.

**Education**:
Ph.D. in applied mathematics, computer science, machine learning, bioinformatics, computational biology, theoretical physical chemistry or physics.

For information on certificates and diplomas issued abroad, please see Degree equivalency

**Experience**:

- Experience in programming with Python, Matlab or R.
- Experience in mathematical modeling, machine learning & inference and causality analysis.
- Experience in metabolomics and lipidomics analysis would be considered an asset.

**Language Requirements**:
English

Information on language requirements and self-assessment tests

**Condition of Employment**:
