We are looking for an intelligent, hard-working, and dynamic individual to join Bioinformatics and Molecular Data group, a subdivision of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) Informatics and Analytics Department. The group encompasses expertise in bioinformatics, machine learning, and computational biology and works with some of the most prominent research and clinical DFCI programs, from basic research to translational research to clinical diagnostics and operations.

We are looking to hire a Bioinformatics Scientist (Level I, II, III)

Located in Boston and the surrounding communities, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute brings together world renowned clinicians, innovative researchers and dedicated professionals, allies in the common mission of conquering cancer, HIV/AIDS and related diseases. Combining extremely talented people with the best technologies in a genuinely positive environment, we provide compassionate and comprehensive care to patients of all ages; we conduct research that advances treatment; we educate tomorrow's physician/researchers; we reach out to underserved members of our community; and we work with amazing partners, including other Harvard Medical School-affiliated hospitals.

The successful candidate will be responsible for managing and independently executing complex bioinformatics tasks:

• Working with leading DFCI scientists on designing and executing key biomedical projects, providing expertise in bioinformatics and computational biology.
• Owning and leading various projects, delivering results and generating relevant reports.
• Collecting, analyzing, interpreting, and integrating complex biomedical data.
• Contributing expertise to DFCI software code base and relevant communities of practice.
• Working as part of a broader team to identify and implement long term computational solutions to address unmet needs of DFCI investigators.
• Improving quality, speed and efficiency of current resources through evaluating and benchmarking new software tools and pipeline development.
• Integrating the developed bioinformatics tools and workflows into DFCI cloud-based resources.

• Advanced degree, Master's or PhD (preferred), in a relevant filed with evidence of impact in application of bioinformatics or computational biology to real life problems, ideally within a biomedical research or clinical environment.
• Bioinformatics skills at the interface between bioinformatics programming and understanding of biological and/or clinical problems, especially as related to the next generation sequencing data analysis (bulk and single cell RNA-seq, DNA-seq, ChIP-seq, Cut&Run, etc).
• Experience with cloud-based computing and workflow implementation (WDL, CWL, NextFlow).
• Knowledge in one or more areas of cancer research, including solid tumors, hematologic malignancies, patient-derived cancer models, biomarker discovery, ctDNA detection and analysis, etc. is a major plus.

At Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, we work every day to create an innovative, caring, and inclusive environment where every patient, family, and staff member feels they belong. As relentless as we are in our mission to reduce the burden of cancer for all, we are equally committed to diversifying our faculty and staff. Cancer knows no boundaries and when it comes to hiring the most dedicated and diverse professionals, neither do we. If working in this kind of organization inspires you, we encourage you to apply.
