Computational analyst or postdoctoral researcher The Giannakis lab is seeking a highly motivated, exceptional candidate to join us towards obtaining novel insights for the epidemiology, prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer through the computational analysis of large-scale datasets. The successful candidate will lead and assist in projects integrating molecular, pathologic and clinical data as well as collaborate with a diverse array of community members both at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard.
We invite applications for individuals with: -Proficiency in working with a wide range of biological databases and resources, such as TCGA, GenBank, EnsEMBL, the UCSC genome browser, Reactome, and other similar resources -Strong statistical knowledge and programming using R or related tools and ability to prototype software solutions for data analysis -Background in computational biology, bioinformatics or other quantitative principles. -Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
Please send a cover letter CV and three references (email address and phone numbers) to: Marios Giannakis M.D., Ph.D, Principal investigator Marios_Giannakis@dfci.harvard.edu
In your cover letter please outline your research interests, how they intersect with those of our laboratory and what you hope to achieve during your training and experience here.
Experimental postdoctoral researcher The Giannakis lab is seeking a highly motivated, exceptional postdoctoral fellow to join us and independently lead projects towards discovering new therapeutic vulnerabilities in colorectal cancer. The successful applicant will conceive and design well-controlled biological experiments, optimize assays like genomic editing working with preclinical models such as organoids, and actively interact with a rich community of scientists to advance the understanding of colorectal cancer pathogenesis and treatment. This individual will have the opportunity to leverage cutting-edge technologies, some of the world’s most comprehensive biomedical datasets and insights from the latest clinical trials in gastrointestinal malignancies to tackle pressing questions in cancer biology.
We invite applications for individuals with: -Ph.D or equivalent degree in life sciences, including molecular biology, genetics, immunology, microbiology, biochemistry or related discipline -Publications (first author or first co-author) in high impact biology journals -Knowledge of a wide-range of experimental techniques, ability to optimize assays -Motivation to apply for postdoctoral grants and secure additional funding -Excellent interpersonal, written and oral communication skills are essential.
