Overview: Cures Start Here. At Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, home to three Nobel laureates, interdisciplinary teams of world-renowned scientists seek new and innovative ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer, HIV/AIDS and other life-threatening diseases. Fred Hutch’s pioneering work in bone marrow transplantation led to the development of immunotherapy, which harnesses the power of the immune system to treat cancer. An independent, nonprofit research institute based in Seattle, Fred Hutch houses the nation’s first cancer prevention research program, as well as the clinical coordinating center of the Women’s Health Initiative and the international headquarters of the HIV Vaccine Trials Network. Careers Start Here. HVTN is an international collaboration of scientists and educators searching for an effective and safe HIV vaccine. The HVTN’s mission is to fully characterize the safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of HIV vaccine candidates with the goal of developing a safe, effective vaccine as rapidly as possible for prevention of HIV infections globally. The HVTN Statistical and Data Management Center (SDMC) provides statistical and bioinformatics leadership in protocol design and data management/analysis. In addition, SDMC faculty and staff lead and contribute to analyses related to the development and implementation of innovative statistical and bioinformatics approaches to improve the scientific understanding of immunology, vaccinology, HIV biology, and how the these components influence HIV vaccine candidates. Our Commitment to Diversity We are committed to cultivating a workplace in which diverse perspectives and experiences are welcomed and respected. We are proud to be an Equal Opportunity and VEVRAA Employer.
