Job Description:
We are seeking a talented, highly motivated individual with a background in Computational Biology/Bioinformatics to join the laboratory headed by Professor Frederick Alt in the Program in Cellular and Molecular Medicine (PCMM), Department of Genetics at Harvard Medical School, Boston. The Alt lab is world-renown for its research on genome instability and antibody maturation. The lab continues to develop and apply cutting-edge high-throughput techniques to address challenging questions regarding mechanisms of rearrangements in the 3D genome and on mechanisms underlying the generation and affinity maturation of antibody repertoires. Candidates should have either a Master or PhD degree in a relevant quantitative science field (bioinformatics, computational science, physical science, etc.). A successful candidate should have experience in the analysis of large-scale “omic” data sets, particularly NGS data sets. Candidates also should have experience working on Linux-type servers and with programming languages (e.g. Python, Perl, R, etc.). A basic knowledge of statistics and biology is required. The position offers an opportunity to work with an engaged group of scientists and participate in research combining genomics and immunogenomics datasets. The ideal Ph.D. candidate will have a record of scientific rigor and creativity, a strong publication record in peer-reviewed scientific journals and the ability to work in teams. Excellent oral and written communication skills are required. Summary of Responsibilities:
