Vector Engineering, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard | Software Engineer, Data Science | Full Time | Cambridge, MA | ONSITE | https://vector.engineering

Our group (https://vector.engineering) at the https://www.broadinstitute.org aims to bring genetic therapy closer to the clinic, by engineering next-generation gene delivery vehicles (adeno-associated viruses – AAVs)

At the Broad Institute, we benefit from a unique blend of blue skies academic research and biotechnology-driven projects. We have access to state-of-the-art facilities and unparalleled collaborative support from academic and industry partners.

Hiring for multiple roles:

Multiple openings: Software Engineer / Bioinformatician / Biostatistician / Data Scientist:

  - Possible projects include:
    - Cutting edge data science to integrate, curate, and mine complex datasets to develop next-generation AAV vectors
    - Terabyte-scale databases for large DNA sequencing datasets
    - Data visualization – concept to implementation
  - This role does not require a biology background, but an excitement to learn from wet-lab molecular biologists.  Knowledge of statistics, algorithm design, data analysis and visualization desired.
Software engineer on https://covidcg.org:

  - Platform for scientists/public health officials to analyze mutations in emerging SARS-CoV-2 strains
  - Add key features and expand the impact of the site.
  - General purpose web-development skills desired
  - Substantial opportunity to build methods/interfaces for analyzing data that are accessible to our wet-lab scientists.
Experience with web development and data science libraries is ideal but not required. Biology experience is preferred, but not required. On-site required but remote work OK for 2–3 days a week. Please contact vector-engineering@broadinstitute.org with a cover letter and resume, or any questions about the role.
