Job Description:
Apply your skills in data sciences in a dynamic environment that combines cutting edge biomedical research with algorithm and software development. As part of this job, you will perform original biomedical research, design algorithms, and develop software. Specifically, one role will be to develop robust and scalable software for analysis of the mitochondrial genome -- a tiny genome that is passed down along the maternal lineage. While current technologies sequence the mitochondrial genome, this data is typically discarded. Your software toolkit will become part of the production pipeline for analyzing thousands of human DNA samples being processed at the Broad Institute, including samples from a wide range of Mendelian disorders, common diseases (e.g. diabetes, heart disease), cancers, and studies of human history. Having developed this software, you will perform original research in assessing the role of mitochondrial genome variation in the context of many rare and common human diseases. You will work collaboratively with experts in mitochondrial biology and disease (Mootha laboratory) as well as with a large team of data scientists devoted to developing cutting-edge algorithms and robust software (Broad Institute's Data Sciences Platform). Clarity of thought is a must. You must be capable of working in an interactive team environment while conducting self-directed research within broader goals set by the group. You will have the opportunity to publish high quality original papers and presentations. Prior biology background is a plus but not required. However strong background in data sciences and written / oral communication skills are a must. Key Responsibilities:

About Us: The Broad Institute is pioneering a new model of collaborative biomedical science to transform biology and medicine. To do that, we have created a unique community of amazing, creative people — “Broadies” — each with a passion for pushing scientific frontiers. Broadies have a diverse collection of talents, expertise, and backgrounds, creating a rich collaborative environment for solving intractable scientific problems. We are always looking for new team members within Research, Computational Biology, Software Engineering, and Administration to help us tackle important problems at the cutting edge of science. Why Broad? It comes down to our culture. Our community transcends academic and organizational barriers, encouraging different points of view and making all Broadies part of something meaningful. If ours is a community you would want to be a part of, then please apply!
