Job Description:
We are looking for individuals who are enthusiastic about taking a hands-on, problem-solving approach in an informal collegial work environment that is infused with intellectual rigor. The right candidate will have an outstanding academic record, strong communication skills, and will enjoy working in an interdisciplinary team. The Broad Institute provides a vibrant research environment with close links to MIT, Harvard, and the Harvard-affiliated hospitals across Boston. Characteristic Duties:
Additional Info:
The Broad Institute is a collaborative research institute with a mission to propel the understanding and treatment of human disease. Our computational chemical biology research group with the Program in Chemical Biology and Therapeutics Science (CBTS) develops and applies new statistical and computational methods for analyzing chemical and biological data, with a focus on combining large-scale human genetic data with cutting-edge molecular and chemical biology data to learn about the causes of disease. We have collaborations with chemistry and biology experimentalists, computer scientists, and disease biology experts within the Broad Institute and neighboring institutions. We seek someone with training in data analysis who will work with us to generate new biological insights by applying existing methods to novel datasets, and by developing new approaches to analyzing chemical biology and genomics data. One of the main areas of focus within CBTS is the chemical biology of diabetes, for which we seek to identify novel small molecules with beneficial effects on pancreatic beta-cell biology.
