The Johns Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center / Department of Oncology is seeking applicants for a Research Associate in Thoracic Oncology with a particular focus in computational analyses for understanding mechanisms of therapeutic response and resistance for thoracic malignancies. The successful candidate will serve as a senior computational scientist for integrative multi-omics projects. The candidate will independently carry out bioinformatics/ computational analyses and interpretation of complex, cutting-edge, high-dimensional genomic data sets generated by next generation sequencing in conjunction with transcriptomic, single-cell and liquid biopsy sequence data. These methods will be used to enhance risk prediction for precision medicine applications. Together with the principal investigators, the candidate will manage, analyze, and communicate data produced in collaborative projects focused on basic and translational research in cancer biology, and is expected to lead publication efforts. Accepted candidates will benefit from the diverse expertise and mentorship by the computational/ bioinformatics, laboratory-based and clinical oncology research groups, which have existing collaborations. Ongoing studies include, but are not limited to, mechanisms of response and resistance to immunotherapy and identification of tissue and blood-derived genomic biomarkers of response to therapies, including immunotherapy and targeted therapies. This work involves utilization of already established computational pipelines as well as fine-tuning and development of novel computational approaches. The candidate will work as a team with junior analysts and will lead collaborative efforts. This individual will communicate analytical results and details of the computational analyses effectively to the principal investigators and to collaborating investigators.
Applicants should forward a curriculum vitae, a description of the candidate’s primary academic research interests, and a brief description of their interests in this position to the search committee chair at the address below.
