The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) is committed to improving health and health equity in the United States. In partnership with others, RWJF is working to develop a Culture of Health rooted in equity that provides every individual with a fair and just opportunity to thrive, no matter who they are, where they live, or how much money they have. RWJF focuses on identifying and addressing barriers to health, including all forms of discrimination, such as structural racism, sexism, ableism, and prejudice based on sexual orientation.
The RWJF Health Policy Fellows program supports RWJF’s vision for building a Culture of Health by creating a strong and diverse leadership in health policy committed to advancing health and health equity. Initiated in 1973, this is a nonpartisan fellowship program located in Washington, D.C., for midcareer professionals interested in increasing their expertise in health policy.
The program is seeking outstanding midcareer health professionals, behavioral and social scientists, and others with an interest in health and the drivers of health who are skilled and committed; with expertise in health and health equity; and can offer an informed perspective on important and complex challenges facing policymakers. Fellows actively participate in the policy process in congressional or executive branch offices of their choosing and leverage this leadership experience to promote policies, practices, and systems changes that advance health and health equity. The National Academy of Medicine (NAM) conducts and administers the fellowship, with funding support from RWJF.
The fellowship requires a full-time commitment starting in September with a minimum 12-month residence in Washington, D.C., which prepares individuals to influence the future of health in the nation. Fellows will meet with national leaders well-versed in health, healthcare policy, health equity, social determinants of health, and structural racism; think tanks and interest groups; key executive branch officials; and members of Congress and their staffs. A concentrated orientation is designed to prepare the fellows for immediate success in federal legislative and executive branch positions.
Eligibility & Selection Criteria
Exceptional midcareer professionals from academic institutions, not-for-profit organizations, or government (including military; U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs; U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps; and state offices who are not considered government officials under Section 4946 of the Internal Revenue Code).

Job ID: 29765
Updated: August 22,2023
Location: Main Campus
We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the traditional territories of the people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta. The City of Calgary is also home to Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III.
Position Overview
The Department ofBiological Sciences in the Faculty of Science invites applications for a Research Associate in Subsurface Hydrogen Genomics. This Full-time Fixed Term position is for approximately 24 months (based on length of grant funding).
Reporting to the Principal Investigator of the Geomicrobiology Group, the Research Associate will be a full-time employee responsible for participating in research in the area of microbial ecology and ecophysiology of subsurface microbial populations using bioinformatics, genomics, metagenomics, biogeochemistry and microbiology. The successful candidate will have experience in bioinformatics, metagenomic analysis, sequence analysis and molecular biology (e.g., quantitative and/or digital PCR). Experience working on the microbiology of extreme environments, low-biomass samples for DNA extraction, and using anaerobic cultivation techniques, will be strong assets.
The future hydrogen economy in Alberta and across the world will rely on new kinds of infrastructures and technologies including options for medium term temporary storage. Large underground hydrogen storage sites are considered attractive options in this regard, with hollowed-out salt caverns and petroleum reservoir porous rock touted as leading candidates. This offers considerable opportunity in Alberta where there is extensive expertise in the oil and gas sector, and well-understood candidate subsurface environments. While a key feature of these containment reservoirs will be the physical features in relation to H2 leakage, a less appreciated risk associated with H2 storage is the potential for biological losses due to oxidation by deep biosphere extremophile metabolism. This Research Associate will focus on assessing the microbiomes living in petroleum reservoirs and/or salt caverns and other relevant subsurface environments, with specific focus on deep biosphere populations that possess hydrogenase genes that encode the potential for H2 oxidation in these settings. The objective will be to understand, quantify and potentially control these populations if they are indeed capable of catalyzing unwanted reactions in the context of underground hydrogen storage. The position advertised here is supported by funding from the Government of Alberta (Alberta Innovates Hydrogen Centre of Excellence) and the Government of Canada (Natural Resources Canada).
Position Description
Summary of Key Responsibilities (job functions include but are not limited to):
Technical:
Dry lab analysis of hydrogenase genes including development of gene models (e.g., Hidden Markov Models) for accurate annotation of different hydrogenase types and sub-types
Wet lab experimentation on H2 oxidizing enrichments including LC and GC analytical methods
Metagenomic library preparation, troubleshooting, analysis, and interpretation
Amplicon library preparation, troubleshooting, analysis, and interpretation
Bioinformatics analysis of mixed community metagenomes including metagenome-assembled genomes
Nucleic acid extraction (DNA, RNA) from different kinds of samples using multiple approaches
Primer and Probe design based on hydrogenase sequence alignments
Quantitative analysis of target gene types and sub-types using qPCR and/or digital PCR platforms
Reporting and Publications:
Leading and/or supporting publication of results in peer-review journals is expected
Maintain a clear and well-documented log of all data, data analyses, results, and lab work
Meet with supervisor(s) regularly (e.g., monthly scheduled meetings, as well as interactions on a day-to-day basis) to provide update on status of project results
Presentation of results to the MMG research group in weekly lab meetings (e.g., once every 6 weeks) and when applicable to project end users, sponsors or other researchers (e.g., at workshops, conferences, or in private meetings with end users)
Safety and Environment:
Understanding of standard operating procedures of the equipment used in the experimental protocols.
Maintain a clean and safe laboratory work environment
Qualifications / Requirements:
PhD in area of molecular microbiology or bioinformatics or a similar topic is required
5-7 years of related work experience required
First-author publication track record in leading journals (e.g., ISME Journal, Environmental Microbiology, etc) is required.
Familiarity with bioinformatics software applications and/or development, including those applied in but not limited to genomics, metagenomics and other microbial multi-omics applications (e.g., packages requiring use of UNIX and R command line) is required
Experience in and knowledge of environmental microbiology is required
Proficiency with computational bioinformatics tools is required
Experience in analysing terabyte-scale sequencing data is an asset
Knowledge of WHMIS is required
Ability to multi-task and deal with some repetitive tasks is required
Strong organizational and time management skills is required
