Job Description:
The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute seeks a POSTDOCTORAL COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGIST AND DATA SCIENTIST FELLOW, under the Van Allen lab (http://vanallenlab.dana-farber.org/) and the Center for Cancer Precision Medicine (http://www.dana-farber.org/newsroom/news-releases/joint-center-for-cancer-precision-medicine-established.aspx) to work on the analysis of new datasets generated in the context of multiple clinically oriented cancer sequencing projects in order help advance efforts for precision cancer medicine. The qualified candidate will specifically focus on new algorithms for the clinical integration of whole transcriptome (RNA) sequencing with existing exome/genome (DNA) sequencing to enable new discoveries in patients under multiple contexts. The candidate will also evaluate and integrate existing tools and databases into high-throughput pipelines, and facilitate the display and the distribution of processed data. These projects include:
