RESPONSIBILITIES

The Center for Molecular Oncology at MSKCC is searching for an outstanding scientist with a strong interest in developing and applying computational methods to cancer biology. Specifically we are seeking a candidate with experience in both bioinformatics, in particular, the bioinformatics of next-generation sequencing and high throughput genomic analysis and systems biology to assist in the development of a state-of-the-art genomics platform that would allow for rapid, cost-effective assessment of a large set of genes in patients treated at MSKCC. The candidate will have the opportunity to interact with investigators with expertise in computational biology, translational therapeutics and molecular pathology. The candidate will analyze high throughput genomic data, and work with computational and laboratory based investigators to identify the mutational programs and pathways and to identify novel therapeutic targets.

REQUIREMENTS

PhD or equivalent in biological science, mathematics, physics, bioinformatics or related field with strong quantitative background required. Proficiency with scientific computing software (Matlab, R) and scripting languages is required. The ideal candidate would have solid programming skills and extensive research experience in the biological sciences.

HOW TO APPLY

Send CV, bibliography, brief statement of research interests and names of 3 references to cmomskcc[at]gmail.com. Please put #CMO in the subject line of your reply.
