Job Description:
The Broad Institute of MIT & Harvard is seeking an exceptional candidate to join a group whose goal is to characterize and interpret the genomic events in cancer. While the comprehensive analysis of cancer genomes is ongoing, major barriers still exist in converting this information to patient benefit. This individual would work with the group to examine genomic data (including somatic and germline events at DNA, RNA and proteomic levels) in both tumor and normal samples, then interpret that data across a set (population or cohort) of individuals with the aim of identifying genes, regions, and pathways that are altered, as well as pinpoint subtypes of the disease, in an effort to improve patient treatment. The Broad Institute is a vibrant and intellectually stimulating research environment with close links to MIT, Harvard and the Harvard-affiliated hospitals across Boston. We are looking for individuals who are enthusiastic about taking a hands-on, problem-solving approach and who enjoy collaborating with engineers and scientists in a collegial environment. Being a member of our initiative will provide the opportunity for your contributions to be utilized and recognized across the vast global network of researchers in the fields of genomics and chemical biology.
