Job Description:
We are seeking a talented and highly motivated bioinformatician/computational biologist/data scientist to join the Center for Genomic Medicine (CGM) at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Harvard Medical School (HMS), to work on modeling signaling networks involved in neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) using mass spectrometry-based proteomics approaches. The Walker Laboratory studies the molecular and genetic pathways that contribute to neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and schwannomatosis. The postdoctoral fellow will develop innovative computational approaches to systematically analyze and integrate proteomic, transcriptomic and kinome data sets to identify signaling pathways and targets in NF1-associated tumors. A particular focus will be to investigate the adaptive kinome of NF1-deficient cells in response to potentially therapeutic kinase inhibitors. The postdoctoral fellow will be situated in the MGH under the guidance and mentorship of Dr. Walker, but will also work remotely in collaboration with a team of academic investigators based at University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, Sage Bionetworks (Seattle) and Johns Hopkins University. The fellow will be situated in the newly renovated bioinformatics suite in the CGM allowing collaboration with other computational biology investigators and will also have access to the molecular biology lab/cell culture facilities in the CGM. The position is available starting immediately. MGH is the original and principal teaching hospital for HMS and one of the top ranking hospitals nationwide, conducting the largest hospital-based research program in the United States and is the top recipient of research funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
