With a career at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, you can play an important role in helping to fulfill our mission and ultimate goal: the eradication of cancer and related diseases.
Faculty
Tenure-track faculty in our department are Harvard University faculty. Dana-Farber Cancer Institute provides space, substantial start-up packages, state-of-the-art computing and grants management support. Our faculty supervise graduate students from both Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) while recruiting talented postdoctoral fellows from around the world.
Assistant/Associate Professor
The Department of Data Science at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) and Harvard Medical School seek an outstanding candidate for an Assistant or Associate Professor position.
The new faculty member is expected to be or become a leader in quantitative methods relevant to genomics in cancer research applications. The faculty member will have the unique opportunity to collaborate with basic scientists and biomedical research leveraging genomics technologies to better understand cancer. We expect the faculty member to build a team of research scientists, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students to help in these collaborations as well as develop quantitative tools that can be widely applicable.
The faculty member’s home will be in the Department of Data Science at DFCI with an academic appointment in the Department of Biomedical Informatics or the Department of Medicine at Harvard Medical School (HMS). They will be involved in teaching HMS courses and participating in HMS academic duties (e.g. serving on committees). The faculty member will participate in scientific events of DFCI, Harvard, and other Boston area research communities and train graduate students in a highly interactive, supportive, collaborative and dynamic research environment. The new faculty is also expected to participate in Harvard School of Medicine’s teaching mission.
