BACKGROUND

At Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK), we're not only changing the way we treat cancer, but also the way the world thinks about it. By working together and pushing forward with innovation and discovery, we're driving excellence and improving outcomes.

For the 26th year, MSK has been named a top hospital for cancer by U.S. News & World Report. We're treating cancer, one patient at a time. Join us and make a difference every day.

RESPONSIBILITIES

The Center for Molecular Oncology at MSKCC is searching for outstanding computational scientists with a strong interest in developing and applying bioinformatic/quantitative methods to problems in translational cancer biology. The candidate should have a solid background in both bioinformatics and cancer biology to lead and assist in the development of a state-of-the-art genomics analysis platform. The candidate will interact with investigators with expertise in computational biology, translational therapeutics, and molecular pathology among others. The focus of this research work is the integrative analysis of high throughput genomic data, and work with computational and laboratory-based investigators. The goal is to identify the mutational programs and pathways implicated in disease and treatment response phenotypes and to identify novel therapeutic targets. The ideal candidate will have a focus on and dedication to translational science, be an innovative thinker, exceptional communicator, enjoy working with an interdisciplinary team, and bring intellectual and analytical rigor to their work.

REQUIREMENTS

Ph.D. or equivalent in biological science, mathematics, physics, bioinformatics or related field with strong quantitative background. Proficiency with scientific computing software (Matlab, R) and scripting languages is required. The candidate should have solid programming skills and extensive research experience in the biological sciences. A thorough understanding and experience in statistics is strongly preferred. Research experience in statistical genetics/genomics strongly preferred and a familiarity with next-generation sequence data and analysis tools is a plus. Must be able to both work independently and collaboratively; making necessary connections with experts in various biological and clinical groups. Highly motivated with excellent oral and written English communication skills; experience in delivering oral scientific presentations and writing scientific articles strongly preferred.
