As a not-for-profit, we support patient care, research, teaching, and community service, striving to provide exceptional care. We believe that high-performing teams drive groundbreaking medical discoveries and invite all applicants to join us and experience what it means to be part of Mass General Brigham.\n Job Summary\nAPPLY BY EMAIL ONLY - APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS BELOWThe laboratory of Dr. Sarah Urbut is located within Mass General Brigham’s Heart and Vascular Institute’s (MGB HVI) Cardiovascular Research Center (CVRC) and also is affiliated with the Broad Institute of Harvard & MIT and Harvard Medical School. Dr. Urbut leads cutting-edge research in principled method development to integrate electronic health records (EHR) with genetics for both prediction and discovery.\nThe Urbut Lab has a unique research fellow position open for a highly qualified applicant interested in dynamic modeling using multimodal data and causal inference for Bayesian analysis of EHR across cohorts, hospital-based biobanks, and within clinical trials. The new hire will be appointed as a Research Fellow at the Massachusetts General Hospital and at Harvard Medical School.\nThis position will leverage stimulating environments and resources across world-class institutions. Individuals will work with a range of genetic datasets, including genome-wide arrays, whole exome sequencing, and whole genome sequencing, as well as multi-omics data (e.g., metabolic, transcriptomic, proteomic, methylation). The successful candidate(s) will join an interdisciplinary team of computational biologists, bioinformatics analysts, epidemiologists, physicians, nurses, clinical research coordinators, and students.\nPlease visit surbut.github.io/Urbut_lab (in process) for additional details about prior, ongoing, and future research. The high prevalence of cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of premature death worldwide, coupled with increasingly massive patient and genetic data, has motivated the Urbut Lab to pursue highly innovative research studies to guide future therapeutic development and diagnostic tools.\nThe successful candidate will work closely with members of the Urbut Lab as well as Dr. Urbut directly. The successful candidate will be closely supervised by Dr. Urbut. The successful candidate will have robust facility in computational genetics and biostatistics. Projects will range from genomic discovery and in silico investigations of genetic mechanisms of disease risk prediction, digital twin development, and genomic discovery through multi-feature hypothesis-generating studies with multi-omics, imaging, and electronic health records.\nOverall, this is a unique opportunity to engage in cutting-edge science and make a central contribution to biomedical research. In addition, Mass General Brigham, Massachusetts General Hospital, and the Broad Institute provide vibrant research environments with close links to top academic and industry networks across the Greater Boston area and the world.\nKey Responsibilities\nConstruction and implementation of cloud-based pipelines for genomic, polygenic risk scoring, and biostatistical analyses.\nProcessing and quality control of next-generation sequence data.\nProcessing and quality control of multi-omics data.\nStatistical analyses of genotype-phenotype association analyses, with summarization and graphical representations.\nOrganizing, manipulating, and harmonizing new datasets across different formats and robust synchronization with existing datasets and databases.\nPhenotypic derivation from electronic health record structured and unstructured data.\nConstruction, implementation, and sensitivity analyses of biostatistical models in classical epidemiology, genetic epidemiology, and machine learning.\nLead and contribute to manuscript preparation as well as internal and external project-team reports.\nActively participate and present in project meetings.\nWork will be performed in the Simches Research Building on the Massachusetts General Hospital main campus, in Boston, MA.\n Qualifications\nThe ideal candidate should have received (or expect to receive soon) a doctoral degree. A doctoral degree will be required to complete onboarding.\nFirst (or co-first) author of one or more peer-reviewed scientific publications\n\nExcellent English verbal and written communication skills\n\nAble to work both independently and in a team\n\nDoctoral degree in computational biology, biomedical informatics, biostatistics, statistical genetics, genetic epidemiology, or computer science.\n\nStrong record of productivity, motivation, adaptability, and collaboration.\n\nExceptional oral and written communication skills.\n\nStrong background in computational biology and bioinformatics.\n\nStrong skills in statistical analyses are highly preferred.\n\nStrong demonstrable proficiency in Linus, R, python and AWS use.\n\nStrong facility with cloud computing.\n\nPrior experience in human genetic analyses and bioinformatics analyses of publicly available datasets.\n\nFamiliarity with next-generation sequence data analysis tools strongly preferred.\n\nAbility to adapt to rapidly changing and high-demand environments.\n\nKnowledge of cardiovascular disease is not required.\n\nThe salary for this position ranges from $73,544-$81,179.\n Additional Job Details (if applicable)\nIMPORTANT - APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS\nPlease do not apply through the Workday “Apply” button.\nThis position is being posted for informational purposes only.
