Depending on prior experience, this individual may also lead one or more other scientists engaged in similar research activities. The primary focus will be on generation and interpretation of high-throughput genomic and other molecular data that increase our understanding of, for example,
- The degree and nature of immune infiltration in the tumor microenvironment;
- Mechanisms by which tumors avoid immune surveillance or inhibit effector activity;
- The impact of mutation or gene expression dysregulation on tumor neo-antigen presentation; and
- Local or circulating biomarkers which predict response to immunomodulatory drugs or therapies.
- PhD in bioinformatics, biostatistics, computational biology or similar, with a strong publication record. Alternately, a PhD in molecular biology, immunology, etc. combined with a very strong record of high-throughput data analysis, supported by publication in this area.
- A solid understanding of the relevant concepts in cancer biology and genetics, or in immunology. Enthusiasm for learning more.
- Broad experience with data generated by one or more high-throughput molecular assays: microarrays, next-generation sequencing, multiplexed qPCR, flow cytometry, mass spectrometry proteomics, etc. Experience with single-cell assays (e.g., CyTOF or single-cell RNA-seq) is a significant plus.
- Strong experience in the use of a high-level programming language such as R, MATLAB, Python or Perl for complex data analysis.
- Exceptionally strong communication, data presentation and visualization skills.
- Ability to work both independently and collaboratively, and to handle several concurrent, fast-paced projects.
