The Talkowski Laboratory in the Center for Genomic Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard is seeking a highly motivated, enthusiastic Computational Scientist to work with and support our research group in analyzing sequencing data to identify structural variants within the human genome using genomic population databases and aggregating phenotype and genotype datasets.
We are seeking a candidate to perform high-quality, large-scale computational analyses under the group leader's supervision in a timely manner. Successful candidates are expected to excel at critical thinking, be quick learners of new analytical approaches, and apply or develop novel computational methods to solve complex problems. Candidates should have practical experience with programming languages, such as Java, C++, R, and/or Python. Must also have experience with computational analysis, algorithm development, and statistical analysis. Knowledge of existing bioinformatics analysis tools, methods, and databases is a significant plus.
Candidates will have the opportunity to work in a unique translational genomics environment within the CGM, which seeks to integrate computational genomics, technology development, and molecular genomics methods. The MGH and the Broad Institute provide a vibrant research environment with close links to top academic institutions across the Boston area and provide the potential for your contributions to be used and recognized worldwide.
This position is hybrid, and candidates can work remotely as needed
