The Massachusetts Institute for Neurodegenerative diseases (MIND) Informatics group (part of Mass General Hospital) is seeking a highly motivated, innovative and independent computational biologist to work with an interdisciplinary team of researchers at the Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI). The successful candidate will conduct computational research and analyses on multimodal data (e.g. microarray, proteomics) to gain a better understanding of the self-renewal, maintenance and differentiation process of embryonic, hematopoietic and leukemia stem cells. The candidate will be expected to research and develop novel computational and statistical methods; implement robust reusable tools that conform to community standards; interact with software engineers on team; work cooperatively with various members of HSCI; publish actively and present results.

The candidate should have a recent PhD in science or engineering. The successful candidate should have demonstrated strength in a computational science such as physics, statistics, mathematics or bioinformatics and have a strong background in biology. Good programming skills in R, S-PLUS or SAS and firsthand experience in processing microarray or other biological datasets are necessary. Knowledge of stem cell biology is preferred. The ability to work independently, sincere interest in learning new concepts and skills and high motivation are prerequisites.
