The Bioinformatics Core Facility at MSKCC seeks an applied bioinformatics researcher for a fully funded, permanent, lab-track faculty position. Pursue applied bioinformatics research in collaboration with independent clinical, translational and basic researchers, with particular emphasis on new methods and approaches to cancer genome sequence data processing and analysis. Be part of an active, academic bioinformatics core facility, which maintains its own high performance computing facility, and offers data processing, analysis, software development and training services to investigators and other core facilities. Participate in a dramatic expansion of MSKCC's sequencing facility, including several next-generation sequencers, as well as in its targeted re-sequencing throughput. Work in the new Zuckerman Research Center, part of MSKCC's clinical/basic research campus on Manhattan's Upper East Side. MSKCC supports numerous state-of-the-art core facilities, recognizes the unique contribution that research support professionals make to biomedical research, and offers a clear careerpath for lab-track faculty.

Applicants should have a doctoral degree and extensive experience in developing computational applications; in particular for analyzing sequence data from both traditional and next-generation technologies. The ability to work independently on research level problems is critical.
