Computational Biologist II

We are searching for talented and highly motivated Computational Biologist to join our team.The candidate will have a masters degree in bioinformatics, and will be knowledgeable of next generation sequencing methods and data science analytical approaches. The computational biologist will be working closely with computational, clinical and research investigators to analyze next generation sequencing data (whole genome, targeted sequencing, RNA, single cell) derived from patients tumors.

Our research supports correlative science research to study how the genetic profiles of patients tumors define disease at presentation, response to therapy and disease progression. These analyses are guiding treatment decisions and the enrollment of patients onto clinical trials of novel targeted therapies. The candidate will be a become a key contributor to strategic research initiatives in the center, and those efforts will have direct impacts on patient care.
