The MGH Center for Cancer Research is looking for a bioinformatics analyst to study genomics and epigenomics of breast cancer. The general focus of the project is intra-tumoral heterogeneity of breast cancer and specifically triple-negative breast cancer, as well as the genetic and epigenetic underpinnings of these cancers that affect outcomes and response to therapy. We also have a special interest in the molecular differences in tumor biology in women of different ancestry that contribute to worse outcomes in certain populations. This position is a joint appointment between the laboratory of Dr. Leif Ellisen, Breast Oncology Program Director, and the Cancer Center's computational group led by Drs. Esther Rheinbay and Michael Lawrence. The successful candidate will join an interdisciplinary team working on rigorous analysis of next generation sequencing data (DNA, RNA, chromatin, single-cells) from tumor and normal samples.
The ideal candidate has a strong background in computation, actively seeks out solutions to challenges and enjoys working in small teams. https://ellisenlab.com/ https://www.massgeneral.org/cancer-center/clinical-trials-and-research/center-forcancer- research/investigators/rheinbay-lab https://www.massgeneral.org/cancer-center/clinical-trials-and-research/center-forcancer- research/investigators/lawrence-lab Education Master's Degree Computational Biology preferred or Bachelor's Degree Computational Biology required Can this role accept experience in lieu of a degree?
