General Summary
A full-time associate computational biologist position is available in the laboratory of Zuzana Tothova, M.D., Ph.D. at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
We are seeking enthusiastic, self-motivated individuals who thrive in a fast-paced, challenging research environment, and can interact well with others as part of a cohesive team. If you have a desire to make a significant impact in healthcare and have the fortitude to work hard, you will succeed within this team. This is an ideal entry-level or mid-level position into the world of cutting-edge laboratory research. A growth mindset and a willingness to take on challenging learning opportunities will be sought out traits. Ideal candidates will possess strong interpersonal skills along with a desire to help others to succeed.
Previous team members have gone on to successful academic and career opportunities; graduate/medical school and industry.
The candidate will be involved in a series of research activities, including computational analysis of large-scale data sets generated in in vitro and in vivo human disease relevant models and use of next generation sequencing with a special emphasis on understanding the biology of human myeloid malignancies.
The Associate Computational Biologist is training to become a Computational Biologist. They are responsible for routine data analysis or processing of biological data, with a focus on high-throughput technologies and genomic databases, under the supervision of mentor.
The Computational Biologist is a quantitative scientist who collaborates with scientific investigators and with other research staff in the analysis of high-throughput data, and dissemination of scientific results.
The Computational Biologist may work on many types of projects and areas of research including cancer genomics, functional genomics, immuno-oncology, molecular imaging, data management and integration, and querying biological databases.
We are looking for candidates with at least 2 years of availability.
Located in Boston and the surrounding communities, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is a leader in life changing breakthroughs in cancer research and patient care. We are united in our mission of conquering cancer, HIV/AIDS and related diseases. We strive to create an inclusive, diverse, and equitable environment where we provide compassionate and comprehensive care to patients of all backgrounds, and design programs to promote public health particularly among high-risk and underserved populations. We conduct groundbreaking research that advances treatment, we educate tomorrow's physician/researchers, and we work with amazing partners, including other Harvard Medical School-affiliated hospitals.
