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.Our research group investigates the biology and risk factors associated with pancreatic and other gastrointestinal cancers. We aim to improve outcomes for patients with these diseases both by identifying cancer earlier, when the chance for a cure is greater, and by improving therapy. We focus on learning from cancer patients by studying human biospecimens so that our discoveries can be rapidly and confidently translated into improved clinical care.Our laboratory members include epidemiologists, biostatisticians, pathologists, data scientists, molecular biologists, and clinical researchers, all of whom contribute their unique expertise to our lab’s work. We employ a broad variety of analysis approaches and techniques in our laboratory, including population-scale epidemiology studies, digital pathology, genomic sequencing, and spatial transcriptomic and protein profiling. Our tissue profiling work encompasses both clinical trial correlative studies and landscape-directed discovery studies. We work closely with the Gastrointestinal Cancer Center Biobank to acquire blood, tissue, and other sample types from patients at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Finally, we routinely collaborate both with investigators at Dana-Farber and across the nation to study pancreatic cancer using model systems and to conduct and lead clinical trials.Design and conduct studies using multiplex immunofluorescence, spatial transcriptional profiling, and other cutting edge, high-dimension tissue analysis approaches to evaluate pancreatic cancer pathology using human tissue specimensCollaborate with other laboratory members with expertise in pathology, molecular biology, and epidemiology/ biostatisticsMentor and supervise research technicians performing tissue-based analysesServe as a liaison for collaborations with other laboratories and institutionsMaintain laboratory protocol databases, patient tissue and slide archives, and digital assetsOversee and maintain laboratory infrastructureAssist in training new postdoctoral fellows and research techniciansConduct analyses using digital image processing software, such as inForm and QuPath, and statistical packages such as R and SASParticipate in group meetings and work collaboratively on larger projects with other group membersGenerate data for figures and tables to serve as the basis for published manuscriptsContribute to manuscripts describing research resultsContribute to progress reports related to research fundingKnowledge, Skills And Abilities RequiredStrong background in human pathologyExperience with traditional pathology laboratory techniques, including slide sectioning, H&E staining, immunohistochemistry and special stains a plusExperience with translational pathology techniques, including multiplexed immunofluorescence, spatial transcriptomics, and RNA in situ hybridization a plusExperience in oncology research would be an advantageStrong commitment to cancer research is requiredExperience managing laboratory staff would be an advantageAbility to work independently and perform troubleshooting when neededMust have excellent communication skills (written and verbal) and work with a wide variety of faculty and staff.Ability to analyze information and use logic to address work-related issues and problemsAttention to detail and thoroughness in completing work tasksOutstanding organizational skills and excellent record keepingAbility to thrive in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment with a shared mission to advance cancer biologyAbility to manage multiple projects simultaneouslyDoctoral degree in genetics/genomics, cancer biology, pathology or related fieldsMD or MD-equivalent and PhD-holding candidates will both be considered; MD/PhD-holding candidates with pathology training are highly encouraged to applyMultidisciplinary training and experience in multiple of these fields is desirableOne or more years of postdoctoral research experience (or equivalent) in academia or industry requiredPay Transparency StatementThe hiring range is based on market pay structures, with individual salaries determined by factors such as business needs, market conditions, internal equity, and based on the candidate’s relevant experience, skills and qualifications.For union positions, the pay range is determined by the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA)$74,600 - $82,900At Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, we work every day to create an innovative, caring, and inclusive environment where every patient, family, and staff member feels they belong.
