Position Summary This position is designed for a senior computational biologist with extensive expertise (10+ years) in multi-omics data integration, artificial intelligence, systems biology, translational research, and collaborative data-driven research environments. The role requires advanced scientific leadership in the development and implementation of integrative analytical frameworks, including interpretable machine learning approaches, that support large-scale immunology, infectious disease, inflammation, and precision medicine initiatives within the Turvey Laboratory. The position is particularly suited to candidates with demonstrated expertise in high-dimensional biological data integration, computational analysis of complex datasets, statistical and machine learning modelling, and the architectural design of scalable, reproducible analytical workflows in collaborative research environments. The Scientific Lead for Computational Biology and AI in Precision Health is a senior scientific and technical position within the Turvey Laboratory, responsible for leading the integration, interpretation, and operationalization of complex multi-omics datasets generated through translational and clinical immunology research programs. The lab has a particular focus on identifying monogenic causes of human disease. The role provides leadership in computational biology and artificial intelligence strategy, research facilitation, and interdisciplinary collaboration across projects involving bulk and single cell genomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics, proteomics, metabolomics, microbiome, and clinical metadata. Working closely with investigators, clinicians, bioinformaticians, trainees, collaborators, and external partners, the successful candidate develops and implements scalable computational frameworks and AI-assisted workflows that support discovery science, biomarker development, precision medicine initiatives, and grant-funded research activities. The position plays a central role in enabling high-impact, data-driven research within the laboratory and across collaborative networks. The Scientific Lead for Computational Biology and AI in Precision Health exercises a high degree of initiative, independence, and professional judgment in managing scientific priorities, developing advanced analytical and machine learning workflows, establishing rigorous data governance, stewardship, and reproducibility standards, and supporting strategic research planning. Organizational Status The position reports directly to the Principal Investigator, Dr. Stuart Turvey, and operates with a high degree of independence. The successful candidate serves as a strategic liaison, working collaboratively with laboratory staff, research associates, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, clinicians, institutional bioinformatics cores, and national and international collaborators. The successful candidate may provide technical direction, mentorship, and supervision to technical staff, trainees, and personnel involved in computational data analyses, as well as overseeing research coordination activities. Work Performed Scientific Leadership and Computational Analyses Architects and directs the design, development, and implementation of integrated multi-omics data analyses and artificial intelligence strategies across laboratory research programs.
