Job Description:
We are looking for a highly motivated individual to join the laboratory of Dr. David Pellman at HHMI, the Broad Institute, and the single-cell genome center at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The successful applicant will be responsible for analyzing single-cell whole-genome and whole-transcriptome sequencing data, and for interpreting, integrating, and relating transcriptional/genetic information to experimental data from live-cell imaging. The candidate should have a strong computational/analytical background and demonstrated knowledge of research methods, and be able to adapt quickly and be part of a multi-disciplinary team. The position will focus on a new avenue of research using genomics as a tool for experimental biology, studying mechanisms that drive rapid genome evolution. Responsibilities:
Additional Info:
Located in Boston and the surrounding communities, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute brings together world renowned clinicians, innovative researchers and dedicated professionals, allies in the common mission of conquering cancer, HIV/AIDS and related diseases. Combining extremely talented people with the best technologies in a genuinely positive environment, we provide compassionate and comprehensive care to patients of all ages; we conduct research that advances treatment; we educate tomorrow's physician/researchers; we reach out to underserved members of our community; and we work with amazing partners, including other Harvard Medical School-affiliated hospitals.
