Full job description

McGill University/Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research, Jewish General Hospital University Health Centre

The Ahn Lab at the Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research (LDI), Jewish General Hospital University Health Centre,
affiliated with McGill University, is seeking a motivated Research Assistant to support research at the interface of systems
biology, cancer biology, and functional proteomics.

The Ahn Lab studies how tumor cells communicate with surrounding cells to shape cancer progression and therapeutic
response. Our goal is to uncover the molecular mechanisms underlying these communications and identify new
opportunities for cancer therapy. We pursue multidisciplinary research that integrates systems biology, mass
spectrometry-based functional proteomics, molecular biology, and preclinical models of brain cancer, while developing
new methods to interrogate tumor–host interactions at the systems level.

The successful candidate will play a key role in research projects within the Ahn Lab and collaborative projects with other
labs, contributing to both experimental and computational work. They will also contribute to the development and
implementation of new experimental methods and support the day-to-day organization and operation of the lab.

This is a full-time position. The initial appointment will be for one year, with a 120 working day probationary period, and
may be renewed. Salary and employment conditions will be commensurate with qualifications and experience and in
accordance with institutional guidelines.

Key responsibilities
• Use liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for botom-up proteomic analyses (e.g.,

phosphoproteomics, immunopeptidomics).
  • Generate and process biological samples for MS-based analyses.
  • Perform routine instrument monitoring, maintenance, quality control, and troubleshooting.
  • Process, analyze, visualize, and interpret MS-based proteomic datasets, as well as data generated from
complementary wet lab experiments.
  • Use MS-related sotiware (e.g., Xcalibur, Proteome Discoverer, Mascot, commercial/open-source sotiware).
  • Use R for data processing, statistical analysis, and visualization. Prior coding experience is not required, but
willingness to learn and routinely use R is critical.
  • Perform standard molecular and cellular biology experiments (e.g., tissue culture, immunoblot, RT-qPCR, ELISA)
following established lab protocols.
  • In collaboration with other lab members and under the guidance of the supervisor, develop, optimize, validate, and
implement new experimental protocols and methods.
  • Prepare and maintain detailed experimental protocols.
  • Maintain accurate experimental records and contribute to data organization, documentation, and lab record keeping.
  • Effectively organize and communicate experimental progress, data, figures, analyses, results, and challenges to the
supervisor and other lab members.
  • Atend and actively participate in regular lab meetings and other relevant research-related meetings.
  • Support the training of other lab members in established lab protocols.
  • Work collaboratively with lab members and collaborators.
  • Support day-to-day lab operations (e.g., maintaining lab organization, monitoring inventories, ordering reagents,
consumables, and other research supplies, coordinating with vendors, and receiving and unpacking orders).
  • Communicate with collaborators regarding sample requirements, handling, shipping, and prepare summaries of

experimental results.

Required:
• BSc or MSc in biochemistry, immunology, neuroscience, biology, systems biology, analytical chemistry, computational

biology, bioinformatics, or a related field.
  • At least 2 years of relevant research experience in an academic or industry lab.
  • Prior experience in MS-based proteomics and quantitative data analysis, or a strong interest and willingness to
develop expertise in these areas.
  • Demonstrated hands-on experience with molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, or related wet-lab techniques.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills.
  • Strong atention to detail and ability to perform rigorous and reproducible experimental work.
  • Ability to work independently while contributing within a collaborative research environment.
  • Strong organizational and time-management skills, with a demonstrated ability to manage multiple responsibilities
and meet deadlines.
  • Excellent writen and oral communication skills, including the ability to clearly communicate experimental results,
progress, and technical challenges to lab members, supervisor, and collaborators.
  • Willingness to be trained and to subsequently train other lab members in established procedures.
  • Willingness to learn and routinely use R for data analysis.
  • Willingness and comfort working in a research environment in which mouse models are used. Mouse handling and

animal experimentation are not required responsibilities of this position. However, prior experience with and
willingness to perform mouse work will be considered a significant asset.



Assets:
• Previous experience with LC-MS/MS.
  • Previous experience with lab automation.
  • Experience with quantitative proteomic workflows (e.g., label-free, TMT) and enrichment techniques.
  • Experience analyzing proteomic or other large-scale biological datasets (e.g., scRNA-seq).
  • Experience with R and/or Python or other programming languages.
  • Experience working with mouse models.

Benefits:
Annual Vacation Days: 1.667 days per month. Vacation is accrued over a 12-month reference year, from May 1st to April
30th. Accrued vacations leave must be taken within 12 months of the end of the reference year.
Sick Days: 9.6 days per year. Sick day’s computation is based on 12 months from December 1st to November 30th.
