Job Description:
The Center for Molecular Oncology at MSKCC is searching for outstanding computational and data scientists with a strong interest in developing and applying bioinformatic/quantitative methods to problems in translational cancer biology. The candidate should have a solid background in both bioinformatics and cancer biology to lead and assist in the development of a state-of-the-art genomics analysis platform. The candidate will interact with investigators with expertise in computational biology, translational therapeutics, and molecular pathology among others. The focus of this research work is the integrative analysis of high throughput genomic data, and work with computational and laboratory-based investigators. The goal is to identify the mutational programs and pathways implicated in disease and treatment response phenotypes and to identify novel therapeutic targets. Projects focus on population-scale clinical genomics; Immunogenomics; high-throughput characterization of cell-free DNA; intratumoral and inter-patient heterogeneity; integration of somatic and germline genomics; machine-learning and data science-focused methodologies; and many others. The ideal candidate will have a focus on and dedication to translational science, be an innovative thinker, exceptional communicator, enjoy working with an interdisciplinary team, and bring intellectual and analytical rigor to their work.
