From: Chris Sander <chris@jimmy.harvard.edu>

As I have moved to Boston to start a new academic venture, we are opening a round of faculty recruitment for a new Center at DFCI, called cBio Center for Information Biology, focused on Computational and Systems Biology, with strong links to Harvard Medical School.

We are also recruiting for postdocs and a software engineer in the Sander research team at DFCI and HMS.

Please forward the faculty ad below to interested researchers and encourage your best postdocs to apply.

With best wishes,

Chris Sander

—————————————— Computational Biology Assistant/Associate Professor Dana-Farber Cancer Institute

The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) seeks an accomplished and innovative research faculty member. Pursue basic and translational research with an emphasis on solving biological problems by computational and data science methods. Collaborate with cancer researchers to achieve impact on data-driven clinical trials and cancer care in the age of genomically informed personalized medicine. Join a new Center focused on computational biomedicine, headed by Chris Sander. Home will be in the Department of Biostatistics and Computational Biology at DFCI with an academic appointment in the Department of Biomedical Informatics at Harvard Medical School (HMS). Participate in the scientific events of the Dana-Farber, Harvard and Boston area research communities and train graduate students in a highly interactive, supportive, collaborative and dynamic research environment.

You have a Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. degree, with a significant record of discoveries and peer-reviewed publications. Your academic rank will be determined according to your experience and productivity. Send a letter of application and a concise statement of current and future research interests, curriculum vitae, sample publications, and the names of four referees to chair@jimmy.harvard.edu <mailto:chair@jimmy.harvard.edu> (cc: dwana@jimmy.harvard.edu <mailto:dwana@jimmy.harvard.edu>) and ask referees to independently provide letters of recommendation to the same address. Consideration of candidates will begin after the application package is complete. Please apply before February 28, 2016 (strongly preferred), but later applications will also be considered.

Sander group: As you may know, I have moved from MSKCC as of Jan 2016 to set up a new cBio Center at DFCI / Harvard in Boston, with initially four groups, including two junior faculty to be appointed in 2016 and 2017. I will continue as adjunct @ MSKCC until June 30, 2016.

Email: Please change my email address to: <chris@sanderlab.org <mailto:chris@sanderlab.org>> from <sanderc@mskcc.org <mailto:sanderc@mskcc.org>> or <sander@cbio.mskcc.org <mailto:sander@cbio.mskcc.org>>

New affiliation: Chris Sander, cBio Center, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Department of Cell Biology, Harvard Medical School, or, more briefly: Chris Sander, DFCI & HMS, Boston

Science: Perturbation biology experiments, theory and computation to develop combination therapy in cancer, with focus on the problem of resistance to targeted therapy. Continued involvement in cancer genomics and proteomics as well as cancer systems biology (successor of TCGA). Evolutionary couplings for protein and RNA structure and function with Debora Marks' group at HMS. Active development of cBioPortal for cancer genomics with Niki Schultz at MSKCC and Ethan Cerami at DFCI.
