About Us :

The people of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) are united by a singular mission : ending cancer for life. Our specialized care teams provide personalized, compassionate, expert care to patients of all ages. Informed by basic research done at our Sloan Kettering Institute, scientists across MSK collaborate to conduct innovative translational and clinical research that is driving a revolution in our understanding of cancer as a disease and improving the ability to prevent, diagnose, and treat it. MSK is dedicated to training the next generation of scientists and clinicians, who go on to pursueour missionat MSK and around the globe.

Exciting Opportunity at MSK : The Shah Lab and the Department of Pediatrics are looking to hire an enthusiastic and highly motivated Senior Staff Scientist with a strong cancer genomics background. You will join an interdisciplinary team of computational scientists, molecular biologists, and clinicians working together to uncover the molecular foundations of pediatric cancers and accelerate the translation of genomic discoveries into improved treatment options.

In this role, you will work directly with genomic data from patients under active treatment at MSKCC, contributing to analyses that help characterize each child's disease in near real time. You will also play a key role in developing and applying new computational approaches to interrogate cancer genomes using state-of-the-art technologies, including single-cell and long-read sequencing. Your projects will span multiple dimensions of translational cancer genomics-from developing new approaches for disease monitoring in cell-free DNA, to investigating the mechanistic and evolutionary basis of childhood malignancies n patient-derived xenografts.

This position sits at the interface of discovery-based and clinical research. Your work will contribute both to the advancement of methods that redefine how we study cancer genomes and to the translation of those insights into strategies that may improve outcomes for children with cancer.

Role Overview :

• Collaborate with physician-scientists to analyze sequencing data from pediatric cancer patients to better understand disease progression and treatment options.
• Engage deeply with bulk and single-cell sequencing datasets to explore novel, clinically relevant questions.
• Develop computational methods to analyze data generated by groundbreaking single-cell and long-read technologies.
• Contribute to high impact journal articles and gain recognition through authorship.
• Submit abstracts and travel to conferences to present your work.
• Research new developments in computational biology and apply these methods to new data sets.
