Job Description:
We are seeking an intelligent, hard-working, and dynamic individual to serve as a R&D Bioinformatics Engineer for a cutting-edge cancer genomics research and clinical program. Cancer is a disease of the genome; effectively fighting cancer will depend on the successful application of genomics to the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. The mission of the Center for Cancer Genome Discovery (CCGD) at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) is to facilitate genome discoveries in human cancer through basic and translational research. CCGD is partnered with PROFILE, a joint effort of DFCI, Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH), and Boston Children’s Hospital. PROFILE employs state-of-the art genomics technology to generate a detailed report of medically actionable genetic alterations in a CLIA-certified laboratory. These cancer genomic profiles are being used to guide patient treatment and/or stratification for clinical trials of novel anticancer agents. Our Bioinformatics team is an integral part of both CCGD and Profile, for which we provide detailed analyses of genomic data. We develop novel approaches for the analysis of genomics data in a research context and translate those developments into clinical applications. We are looking to expand our outstanding team with an R&D Bioinformatics Engineer. Responsibilities The successful candidate will have proven experience delivering high-quality and robust analysis and bioinformatics solutions in a timely manner. This position will have a key role the team’s R&D efforts and must work closely with the lab team in the design, testing, and validation of new analysis methods. Qualifications:
