Job Description:
The department of Computational Biology is seeking a highly motivated scientist to join our Clinical Cancer Genomics team. As a clinical genome analyst, you will analyze and classify somatic and germline genetic alterations in pediatric cancer patients ascertained from whole-genome, whole-exome and transcriptome sequencing and present findings to pathologists, oncologists, and genetic counselors. This scientist will work closely with our bioinformatics pipeline and visualization teams to explore novel analysis approaches that aid molecular classification and clinical reporting, contribute ideas to automate and improve existing analysis methods, and assist in preparing and submitting manuscripts. The successful candidate will also have opportunities to participate in research projects to analyze the pediatric cancer genome and epigenome. Our ideal candidate has a deep understanding of cancer biology and expertise in genomic and/or transcriptomic data analysis either through NGS or molecular pathology approaches. Prior experience within in a clinical environment and experience in clinical test development are highly desirable. Qualifications:
