Job Ref: JR-4469 Location: 450 Brookline Ave, BOSTON, MA 02215 Category: IT/Informatics Employment Type: Full time Work Location: Onsite: 100% onsite Salary/Pay Rate: $85,000.00 - $105,000.00 per year **Overview** The Sarcoma Center at DFCI, in close partnership with the Getz Lab (Broad Institute) and the Janeway Lab (DFCI), is searching for an experienced computational biologist with additional experience and interest in cancer biology to play a lead role in projects focused on osteosarcoma and leiomyosarcoma. These projects are associated with the Cancer Moonshot funded Participant-Engagement Cancer Genomic Sequencing Network and aim to gain new insights into the genomics of these rare cancers, including treatment resistance. This particular role will focus on the genomic analysis primarily focused on leiomyosarcoma to identify unique genomic factors which impact oncogenesis, prognosis and response to treatment. The candidate will work on various genomic analyses across various data types such as whole-genome sequencing (WGS), whole-exome sequencing (WES), RNA sequencing, spatial data, etc, and will also include rich clinical annotation to explore the clinical implications of genomic findings. The analysis could include (but is not limited to) cancer driver discovery through genomic alteration analysis (e.g., structural variants), and spatial analysis. We are seeking a highly motivated, creative, and talented researcher to dive right in and hit the ground running within the high-energy, fast-paced, and dynamic lab environments that value clinical impact and scientific rigor. Dr. Getz, Dr. Janeway, and Dr. Suzanne George, Chief of the Sarcoma Center at DFCI, place a high priority on mentoring postdoctoral trainees to work toward achieving their career paths and goals. Their labs, as well as the environments at the DFCI, the Broad Institute, and MGH, provide frequent and varied educational and skill-building opportunities. About our labs: The Sarcoma Center at DFCI
