Boston, MA: Research Fellow (cancer genetics), Dana Farber Cancer Institute
Position Information
Job Title: Research Fellow
Job ID:18309
Location:
Full/Part Time: Full-Time
Regular/Temporary:Regular
Job Summary
The primary goal of our lab is to understand the functional consequences of human disease causing risk variants. Within the past few years, the majority of common variation in the human genome has been identified and made publicly available, thereby enabling and facilitating the study of complex trait genetics. The genetic architecture of complex disease is being revealed at an unprecedented rate. Many of the disease causing variants happen to lie in non-protein coding regions requiring a systematic and fresh approach to understanding their mechanism. Potential projects entail the application genetic, molecular and cellular biologic techniques to understand the mechanism of known risk alleles. Other projects have a stronger bioinformatic slant, such as exploring the dynamics between the germline and tumor genomes. We are a highly collaborative group and interact closely with geneticists, cancer biologists, epidemiologists, clinicians, and computational biologists to comprehensively understand cancer related phenotypes. Our laboratory is part of the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT and the Center for Cancer Genome Discovery (CCGD), a cooperative venture of several faculty members who have a strong interest in cancer genomics. This position provides an opportunity to perform cross-disciplinary research in a highly interactive environment. Projects encompass the design of studies and the generation, analysis and interpretation of large scale datasets.
Job Qualifications
PhD with scientific laboratory background required. Previous experience in genomic science and/or a familiarity working with large scale datasets are highly desirable.
Schedule
full-time; hours may vary
