Overview
The Computational Biologist II is responsible for complex data analysis or processing of biological data, with a focus on high-throughput technologies and genomic databases.
The Computational Biologist is a quantitative scientist who collaborates with scientific investigators and with other research staff in the analysis of high-throughput data, and dissemination of scientific results.
The Computational Biologist may work on many types of projects and areas of research including cancer genomics, functional genomics, immuno-oncology, molecular imaging, data management and integration, and querying biological databases.
Located in Boston and the surrounding communities, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is a leader in life changing breakthroughs in cancer research and patient care.
We are united in our mission of conquering cancer, HIV / AIDS and related diseases. We strive to create an inclusive, diverse, and equitable environment where we provide compassionate and comprehensive care to patients of all backgrounds, and design programs to promote public health particularly among high-risk and underserved populations.
We conduct groundbreaking research that advances treatment, we educate tomorrow's physician / researchers, and we work with amazing partners, including other Harvard Medical School-affiliated hospitals.
