Posting Description

TECHNICAL ASSOCIATE I, Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research (KI) - Jones Lab, to join our interdisciplinary team focused on studying the spatiotemporal evolution of cancer as a computational research technician. Will be tasked with supporting the computational objectives of our group, particularly in establishing data resources and analytical pipelines that enable us to adopt cutting-edge technologies to study multiple aspects of tumor evolution; contributing to, and possibly lead, research projects that will appear in conferences and scientific journals; curating publicly-available cancer data resources for research projects; development of computational pipelines and software for single-cell, long-read, spatial genomics, lineage-tracing, and microscopy assays (including developing data pipelines for new technologies in collaboration with our colleagues in the High-Throughput Sciences, Histology, Microscopy, and IGB: Genomics core facilities); training and deployment of machine-learning models for studying aspects of tumor evolution; keeping detailed code and analysis notebooks, and records of plans and progress; giving journal club and lab progress presentations at lab meetings; and working collaboratively with our interdisciplinary team of computational and experimental scientists, as well as with colleagues across MIT.
