The **Center for Cancer Genomics** **(CCG)** at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute facilitates genomic discoveries in cancer using novel technology platforms to assist researchers in both genome-wide and gene-focused efforts. Technologies are selected and developed with a view to research-oriented ventures, as well as translational medicine and clinical relevance. Our clinical and research environments currently use state-of-the-art massively parallel sequencing assays of DNA and RNA from patient tumor samples. Data from these environments are used to advance research on both adult and pediatric cancers, improve our understanding of cancer biology, and advance the field of precision cancer medicine. This opportunity offers the chance to work at the forefront of translational cancer technologies and applications, in an informatics group that enables analyses in both arenas. 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.

A computationally-oriented team led by Rameen Beroukhim and Simona Dalin at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Broad Institute seeks a computational associate to join in efforts to develop and apply cutting-edge genomic technologies to characterize genomic rearrangements in cancers and normal tissues, and better understand how errors in double strand break (DSB) repair result in these rearrangements. Projects include 1) identifying sequence features that influence the formation of genomic rearrangements based on data from thousands of tumors and matched normal samples, 2) applying sophisticated statistical approaches to determine relationships between the presense of specific rearrangements and genetic/pharmacologic vulnerabilities in cancer cell lines, and 3) developing new analysis methods for a novel experimental technique developed in our laboratory to identify subclonal rearrangements in tumor samples. This individual will contribute to a lively team and wider community of laboratory scientists, computational biologists, cancer geneticists, and software engineers dedicated to discovering and understanding the alterations in the cancer genome and discovering cancer vulnerabilities that could lead to new therapeutics. We are looking for a person who will lead their projects, thinking independently and making original intellectual contributions. We welcome all levels of input from our computational associates, including input on the conduct of analyses but also on new analyses to conduct and new questions to ask. Computational associates in our laboratory regularly present their own work and contribute to the writing of papers and grant applications. We view a computational associate as a mentored training position, with a primary goal being the professional development of our CAs.
