Job Description:
Biostatistics, Bioinformatics, and Epidemiology (BBE) in the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Division at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center is seeking a PhD level computational biologist to fill a Staff Scientist position to support the missions of the Vaccine Immunology Statistical Center (VISC) and the Statistical Data Management Center (SDMC) of the HIV Vaccine Trials Network (HVTN). The primary objective of these Centers is to lead and contribute to study design and analyses related to the development and implementation of innovative statistical and bioinformatics approaches to improve the scientific understanding of immunology, vaccinology, disease-specific biology, and how these components influence vaccine candidates against pathogens of global health significance including HIV, malaria, and TB. The Staff Scientist will be involved in the analysis of B and T-cell repertoire sequencing data, and participate in multidisciplinary collaborations involving laboratory-based scientists (immunologists, virologists), clinical investigators, biostatisticians, data scientists, and computational biologists.
