  • Mentor trainees / junior scientists in the continued development and application of existing software systems developed for bioactive prioritization and characterization.
  • Coordinate with experimental co-investigators in efforts to screen and validate potential bioactives, and to provide data and analysis support to related co-investigator-led projects.
  • Make substantial contributions to manuscripts describing the above work, and to new funding applications drawing upon the above work as preliminary data.
  • Prepare and/or deliver presentations describing the above work at internal and external meetings.
Requirements
  • Doctoral degree in Computer Science, Statistics, Biostatistics, Bioinformatics, Biology, or a related field.
  • 2-3 years of postdoctoral training in one of the above fields or equivalent industry experience.
  • Demonstrated proficiency in one or more statistical or scripting languages appropriate for scalable data analysis (R and/or Python preferred).
  • Demonstrated expertise in computational methods development for biological data analysis, including experience in cluster/distributed computing environments and comfort with terabyte-scale datasets.
  • Familiarity with functional genetic and/or genomic data, as indicated by publication record.
  • Experience mentoring trainees and directing project groups.
  • The ability to communicate scientific material clearly and collaborate well.

The Broad Institute is a world-renowned research institution with a rich environment for quantitative, computational, and laboratory collaborations. If you are a highly motivated and skilled researcher with a passion for computational biology, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity.
