Research Scientist opportunity in the Thoracic Head & Neck Med Onc Research department.

JOB SPECIFIC COMPETENCIES

Specific data analysis skills and knowledge competencies.- Cancer biology background
- Participate in the design and implementation of algorithms to analyze molecular data and integrate with other data sets
- Systematically explore and mine multi-dimensional data to validate experimental findings or formulate new hypotheses
- Assist in the generation of tools for manipulating and preparing data for display
- Develop innovative mathematical/computational approaches to molecular data analysis
- Help maintain, support, and document shared tools, code base, and data sets, with opportunities to explore deeper and more complex software design problems, or bioinformatic and analytic aspects of predictive modeling. 

Execute and participate in scientific research projects. 
Related projects and responsibilities will include:
- Single cell analysis of tumor samples
- Studies of resistance to existing and emerging cancer therapies using patient-derived data
- Studies of tumor and tumor microenvironment evolution and heterogeneity using longitudinal patient samples
- Studies of cancer immunotherapies to develop predictors of response
The goals of this work consist in analyzing sequencing data to determine the effects of genomic alterations and expression changes on clinical behavior, both retrospectively and prospectively. These new data could help identify novel approaches for personalized care in oncology or provide support for new methods in clinical decision-making, biomarkers for rational drug development, and new insights into tumor biology through innovative analyses. 

Work closely with other staff members.- Maintain good working relationship with other researchers and technicians- Train and supervise other personnel in data analysis pipelines, bioinformatic techniques, and maintain internal databases.Other duties as assigned.
