This is a critical position in a new oncogenomics reserach group. It offers a chance to contribute to major new understanding in the patterns of mutations seen across a collection of over 100,000 tumors to better understand pathways of oncogenesis, to publish the results and see their impact on drug development. This is an ambitious project that will suit someone who wants to tackle a major challenge and make a major mark on cancer biology. [More]
