University of Calgary: Canada Research Chair (CRC) Tier II in the area of Lipidomics

 Location: Alberta

Date posted: 2022-09-09

Advertised until: 2022-10-11

The Departments of Biological Sciences and Chemistry in the Faculty of Science at the University of Calgary invite applications for a Canada Research Chair (CRC) Tier II in the area of Lipidomics. The successful candidate will be appointed at the rank of Assistant Professor (tenure-track) or in exceptional cases at the rank of Associate Professor (with tenure), and will be nominated for an NSERC Tier II Canada Research Chair. The candidate’s research program is expected to harness advanced lipidomics, proteomics and metabolomics technologies to investigate the complex molecular phenotypes of lipids, and understand how these contribute to fundamental biological processes in different forms of life. The anticipated start date for the position is May 1st, 2023.

Eligibility criteria
CRC Tier II Chairs are intended for exceptional emerging scholars. At the time of nomination, a candidate must have been an active researcher in their field for fewer than 10 years since the conferral of their highest academic degree (PhD or equivalent). Candidates who are more than 10 years past their highest conferred degree but who have had career breaks resulting from leaves, clinical training, and research interruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic etc., may have their eligibility for a CRC Tier II Chair assessed through the program’s Tier II justification process. Please contact University of Calgary’s Office of Research Services for more information: ipd@ucalgary.ca. 

Further information about the Canada Research Chairs Program can be found on the Government of Canada’s CRC website, including eligibility criteria. See: www.chairs-chaires.gc.ca and www.chairs-chaires.gc.ca/program-programme/nomination-mise_en_candidature-eng.aspx.

Role and Expected Duties
The Chair will establish an active research program that focuses on molecular roles of the lipidome in biology. Research by the candidate should harness lipidomics, metabolomics, or proteomics strategies to better understand the functions of lipids within cells and organisms. Examples of research themes include, but are not limited to: time- and stressor-dependent perturbations of lipidomes related to cell-cell signaling; role of lipids in promoting or resolving inflammation; microbial lipidomics; whole-body energy regulation; the lipid underpinnings of metabolic disease; roles of lipids in ageing and tumorigenesis; complex lipid changes induced by viral infections; and impacts of xenobiotics on lipid and hormonal metabolism. 

The proposed position will build on existing UCalgary strengths in metabolomics, proteomics, and peptidomics. This Chair will work closely with the Calgary Metabolomics Research Facility (CMRF), one of Canada’s largest mass spectrometry facilities for small molecules, and will interface with the existing suite of structural biology, physical chemistry, and wet laboratory facilities housed in the Department of Biological Sciences. The Chair will advance institutional leadership in the analysis of big data and augment our existing excellence in biomolecular computing through the Centre for Molecular Simulation (CMS). They will provide a cross-disciplinary bridge for existing programs in Biochemistry (BCEM), Cell, Microbial and Molecular Biology (CMMB), Nanotechnology/Material Chemistry, and Biological/Medicinal Chemistry within the Departments of Biological Sciences and Chemistry. Unique opportunities are available to interact with top researchers in health sciences, structural biology, microscopy, structural proteomics, and technology development. 

The long-term goal for the CRC chair in Lipidomics is to develop a vibrant and internationally recognized research program in alignment with the recently developed institutional “Growth Through Focus” strategy. “Growth Through Focus" is built around three big ideas that will drive growth: transdisciplinary scholarship, deeper community integration, and future-focused program delivery. To learn more about this vision please see: https://www.ucalgary.ca/unstoppable. 

Priority research areas in the University of Calgary and the Faculty of Science include "Life Sciences", "Personalized Health at the Molecular Level" and "One Health" (https://research.ucalgary.ca/one-health). One Health at UCalgary aims to systemically understand health issues on multiple scales spanning environments, communities, and individuals. The successful candidate will possess the attributes and desire needed to lead research initiatives within these strategic transdisciplinary themes, build on current strengths, develop strategies for future growth, and promote program development combined with both student engagement and experience. The main research program should fall within the scope of funding of NSERC (The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada). However, the CRC may receive funding from a combination of research agencies (NSERC, CIHR, Genome Canada, Alberta Innovates, etc.) and industry. The Chair will play an important role in teaching and research supervision of students in the Departments of Biological Sciences and Chemistry undergraduate and graduate programs. Service to the Department, Faculty, University, and Community is also expected. 

The University of Calgary is a young and ambitious comprehensive research institution. Located in the nation’s most enterprising city, the university is making tremendous progress on its Eyes High journey to be recognized as one of Canada’s top five research universities, grounded in innovative learning and teaching, and fully integrated with the community it serves and leads.
