The Department of Biostatistics at the Harvard T.H Chan School of Public Health invites applications for a Postdoctoral fellow position funded in large part by an NIH training grant on Quantitative Sciences for Cancer Research. Candidates have latitude to choose among several mentors across various institutes at Harvard; research can range from the most applied to the most theoretical as long as there is a genuine commitment to its ultimate utility in cancer research.
The ideal candidate is an independent, solution-oriented thinker with a strong quantitative background and a clear commitment to cancer research. Other qualifications include:
• Required: PhD in Statistics, Biostatistics, Computer Science, Data Science, or related field
• Required: U.S. Citizenship or Permanent Residency
• Preferred: Familiarity with multiple data science tools and ability to learn new tools as required.
• Preferred: Excellent communication and writing skills.
This position is funded by an NIH T32 grant. Candidates must meet appointment eligibility criteria (career level and US citizenship or permanent residency), as outlined https://researchtraining.nih.gov/programs/training-grants/T32

One of the great things about the position is its location on the Harvard Longwood campus and the opportunities available due to the co-location of HSPH, Harvard Medical School, Harvard Dental School, four of the five Harvard hospitals–and access to the entire Boston/Cambridge life sciences community.
