Located in Boston and the surrounding communities Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is a leader in life changing breakthroughs in cancer research and patient care. We are united in our mission of conquering cancer HIV/AIDS and related diseases. We strive to create an inclusive diverse and equitable environment where we provide compassionate and comprehensive care to patients of all backgrounds and design programs to promote public health particularly among high-risk and underserved populations. We conduct groundbreaking research that advances treatment we educate tomorrow's physician/researchers and we work with amazing partners including other Harvard Medical School-affiliated hospitals.

We are looking for an intelligent hard-working and dynamic individual to join Bioinformatics group a subdivision of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) Informatics and Analytics Department. The group encompasses expertise in bioinformatics machine learning and computational biology and seeks to develop a highly interdisciplinary environment supporting DFCI research clinical and operational staff. The group works with some of the most prominent research and clinical DFCI programs from basic research to translational research to clinical diagnostics and operations.

The successful candidate will serve as an expert who will support some of the key initiatives relying on genomic data and who will have the ability to lead projects and potentially in the future lead other people within the team. Specifically the role will be responsible for managing and independently executing following bioinformatics tasks:

• Working with leading DFCI scientists on designing and executing key biomedical projects providing expertise in bioinformatics and computational biology.
• Collecting analyzing interpreting and integrating complex biomedical data.
• Owning and leading various projects delivering results and generating relevant reports.
• Contributing expertise to DFCI software code base and relevant communities of practice.
• Working as part of a broader team to identify and implement long term solutions; improve quality speed and efficacy of current projects and program through evaluating and benchmarking new software tools and pipeline development.

• Advanced degree Master's or PhD (preferred) in a relevant filed with evidence of impact in application of bioinformatics or computational biology to real life problems ideally within a biomedical research or clinical environment.
• 3+ years of experience in basic translational or clinical research setting required.
• Bioinformatics skills at the interface between bioinformatics programming and understanding of biological and/or clinical problems especially as related to the next generation sequencing data analysis (bulk and single cell RNA-seq DNA-seq ChIP-seq etc).
• Experience with cloud-based computing and workflow implementation is a plus.
• Experience in one or more areas of cancer research including solid tumors hematologic malignancies patient-derived cancer models biomarker discovery etc. a major plus.
• Excellent communication and effective problem-solving skills.
• Proven ability to work independently prioritize and manage projects if needed within an environment with evolving priorities.
• Knowledge in one or more areas of cancer research including solid tumors hematologic malignancies patient-derived cancer models biomarker discovery etc. is a major plus.

At Dana-Farber Cancer Institute we work every day to create an innovative caring and inclusive environment where every patient family and staff member feels they belong. As relentless as we are in our mission to reduce the burden of cancer for all we are equally committed to diversifying our faculty and staff. Cancer knows no boundaries and when it comes to hiring the most dedicated and diverse professionals neither do we. If working in this kind of organization inspires you we encourage you to apply.
