Position Summary

Our lab is a multidisciplinary research program based at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, University Health Network, and closely integrated with the Structural Genomics Consortium. We operate at the intersection of clinical oncology, experimental biology, and functional genomics, with a focus on understanding chromatin architecture, epigenetic regulation, and tumor heterogeneity in cancer.

The lab uses 3D genome mapping, chromatin profiling, next-generation sequencing, patient-derived models, and multi-omic approaches to identify regulatory mechanisms that may inform precision oncology strategies, biomarker discovery, and epigenome-informed therapeutic approaches.

We are seeking a highly motivated Research Technician with strong wet-lab experience to support and execute experimental projects in cancer epigenomics and 3D genome biology. The successful candidate will contribute to projects involving chromatin conformation assays, functional epigenomics, next-generation sequencing library preparation, and patient-derived model systems.

This position is ideal for a candidate with hands-on experience in molecular biology, genomics, epigenomics, and cancer biology who is interested in working in a collaborative, translational research environment.
