The Center for Cancer Genomics (CCG) at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute facilitates genomic discoveries in cancer using novel technology platforms to assist researchers in both genome-wide and gene-focused efforts. Technologies are selected and developed with a view to research-oriented ventures, as well as translational medicine and clinical relevance. Our clinical and research environments currently use state-of-the-art massively parallel sequencing assays of DNA and RNA from patient tumor samples. Data from these environments are used to advance research on both adult and pediatric cancers, improve our understanding of cancer biology, and advance the field of precision cancer medicine. This opportunity offers the chance to work at the forefront of translational cancer technologies and applications, in an informatics group that enables analyses in both arenas.

Located in Boston and the surrounding communities, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is a leader in life changing breakthroughs in cancer research and patient care. We are united in our mission of conquering cancer, HIV/AIDS, and related diseases. We strive to create an inclusive, diverse, and equitable environment where we provide compassionate and comprehensive care to patients of all backgrounds, and design programs to promote public health particularly among high-risk and underserved populations.
