We are pleased to announce a new joint funding opportunity from Ontario Genomics and CANSSI Ontario, the Ontario regional centre of the Canadian Statistical Sciences Institute, establishing another joint Postdoctoral Fellowship in Genome Data Science.

This fellowship will support the work of early-career investigators pursuing research in the areas of statistical genetics, environmental genetics, or the economics and impacts of genomic technologies, in a climate-changing world.

We seek to support research projects focusing on statistical methodology and tool development, including computational tools. We encourage applications from candidates combining 'omics data with other data to overcome challenges, especially as it applies to the environment and climate change.

The fellowship offers two-year salary support for up to $50,000 per year for postdoctoral fellows undertaking full-time research at a CANSSI Ontario partner university or their affiliated research institutes. Candidates are responsible for selecting, contacting, and securing the commitment of two faculty members to jointly supervise them in their project, one being a statistical geneticist, genetic epidemiologist, or environmental epidemiologist.

Funding availability: Up to two years.

Maximum fellowship value: $50,000 per year.

Deadline to apply: November 1, 2022.
