Statistical Geneticist

The Center for Computational Biomedicine (CCB) in the Harvard Medical School is looking for an experienced Statistical Geneticist to take a leading role in its mission to support the broad use of innovative computational and analytic methods at HMS.  The CCB is a new center whose mission is to provide computational expertise in a variety of areas including: genetics, genomics, AI/ML and image analysis. The CCB has a multi-disciplinary team of computational and quantitative scientists who work collaboratively both within the center and with members of the HMS community.

This role involves guiding an overall strategy for data acquisition and method development. Hiring a small team to support the integration of genetic data with a variety of other data sources (eg images, functional screens, phenotypic data) and interacting with various labs in HMS providing expertise in analyzing, visualizing and integrating genetic and genomic data. The data sources will often be at the leading edge of scientific discovery and technical development and some methodological work may be required. The successful candidate will have strong skills in R or Python, strong quantitative and communication skills. They will be able to work independently and collaboratively on scientific problems and deliver solutions.
