***This competition is open to all applicants; however, internal applicants will be given priority consideration based on minimum qualifications, or a combination of experience, skills, and abilities before external applicants are considered.*** **Location -** This role is in-person. Work primarily takes place at North Campus, Edmonton. The University of Alberta, Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry, Department of Medicine, Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism in partnership with Alberta Health Services, invites applications for a Computational Clinician Scientist in the Genetic Epidemiology of Lipids Disorders in to be based at the University of Alberta Hospital. Located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, the Faculty has been internationally recognized as among the world’s top 50 medical schools and as one of Canada’s premier health-education institutions. The University is currently home to more than 38,000 students with more than 15,000 faculty and staff. The successful candidate will join a group of 14 endocrinologists in a tertiary care facility, with an additional 14 community endocrinologists in the Edmonton Corridor, which serves over 1.5 million people, including the world’s largest pancreatic islet transplant program. The Division has excellent clinical facilities, a Royal College approved resident training program, and easy access to dynamic testing and the full range of diagnostic and therapeutic services. The Endocrine Division’s research collaborations span basic, clinical and community-based research. Current areas of strength include Diabetes, Obesity and Nutrition, Quality Improvement, and Cardiovascular Disease. Many of these collaborations are established through the Alberta Diabetes Institute, which houses dry and wet labs as well as an 8000 square feet clinical research unit (BodPod, DEXA, Whole Body Calorimeter) and a 1500 square foot exercise lab.
