Senior Research Scientist I na Broad Institute

The Daly Lab and the Medical and Population Genetics Program at is looking for a Senior Scientist l to join our team focused on understanding the genetics of human disease. This individual will help develop a dynamic multi-disciplinary effort to utilize biobank data and biospecimens to convert genetic discoveries into insights into disease mechanisms and biomarkers, igniting needed progress in therapeutics. This role is both tactical - supporting the successful development of FinnGen and joint partnerships across biobanks - and scientific - helping to systematize the prosecution of genetic discoveries and developing strategies for integrating germline variation disease research with insights from somatic and perturbation research in cancer.The position will afford an opportunity to grow in a high throughput technical environment for a bright, logically minded, experienced scientist with project management experience. The ideal candidate will be highly collaborative and will work well in a team. The candidate must be detail oriented, enjoy working with data systems for both tracking research workflows and performing independent human genetics analyses. The candidate should have a background in genetics or genomics research in cancer and inherited disease and be comfortable working with data and databases.CHARACTERISTIC DUTIES:Contributor to the project management team in FinnGenJoin FinnGen management meetings to decide priority of project activities pertaining to project deliverablesCoordinate and track partnerships across multiple biobanks, including ensuring joint multi-biobank analyses are designed, tracked and delivered to the Broad, as well as the public, research communityDevelop scientific strategy for, and oversee implementation of, the integration of somatic mutation and perturbation databases from cancer research with biobank discovery effortsLead inherited cancer variation discovery research using FinnGen and multi-biobank resources, and coordinate follow-up computational and experimental investigationFacilitate multi-lab meetings in support of new human genetics initiatives to coordinate agenda & document minutes/action itemsTrack multi-lab variant to mechanism study progressDrafting manuscripts, reports, letters, lecture presentations, email communications, and other written materials as neededREQUIREMENTS:At least 5 years of directly related research and/or project management experience with a PhD in cancer biology or related field strongly preferredExcellent project management skills with demonstrated ability to effectively work in a matrixed environment keeping teams, projects and deliverables on track and evaluating plans and methods, revising as appropriateMust possess a demonstrated ability to interact with an interdisciplinary group for both professional staff and academic trainees; including project managers, data analysts, computer scientists, and lab biologistsA strong understanding of cancer biology, research experience in cancer strongly preferredExperience communicating with lab personnel and computational scientistsComfortable learning new software and technologiesExcellent written and verbal communication skills essentialHighly organized, with strong attention to detail and accuracyExperience supervising scientific staff preferredExperience with bioinformatics tools and public genetics and genomics databases preferredExperience communicating with international collaborators preferred Candidatar-se agora
