Job Description:
The Broad Institute of MIT ; Harvard is looking to hire an exceptional candidate to join the Cancer Models Atlas Genomics team. This is a unique opportunity to make substantial contributions to the development of personalized cancer therapies. Over the last several years it has become possible to use cancer cell line models in high-throughput CRISPR and drug sensitivity screens to study the unique properties of specific cancer types and to identify specific cancer vulnerabilities. To create a comprehensive Cancer Dependency map, we are expanding our efforts to build a highly annotated cancer cell model collection that will be critical to enabling new scientific breakthroughs. As part of this effort, we are looking for a highly motivated and talented individual with a computational background to join the Cancer Models Atlas Genomics team. You will be part of a highly collaborative team and work closely with scientists and engineers across the cancer program. By applying your computational and analytical skills to multimodal cancer data, you will contribute to the generation and testing of hypotheses leading to new biological insights. The Broad Institute provides a vibrant research environment with close links to top academic institutions across the Boston area and provides the potential for your contributions to be used and recognized worldwide.
