[Brian Hare]

Hi all,

A computational biology position is open at Vertex Pharmaceuticals and is 
described below.  If interested, apply through the Vertex website or feel free 
to contact me directly.  Thanks, Brian

-------------------------------------

The candidate will support the biomarker and systems biology efforts at Vertex 
by using statistical analyses and data mining of high-throughput genomics 
experiments (transcript profiling, proteomics, cell-based assays) to determine 
effects of drug treatment and identify potential biomarkers. The candidate will 
also contribute to experimental design, use pathway analyses to elucidate 
biological mechanisms and will communicate results of analyses to project teams 
and make recommendations for follow-on experiments. 

To be qualified for this position, candidates should have a Ph.D. in 
Bioinformatics, Biostatistics, Math or Biology and expertise in gene-expression 
profiling analysis. This person should also have experience using 
mathematical / statistical languages (e.g. R/Bioconductor, Matlab) and solid 
knowledge of statistics (expertise preferred). Mathematical modeling experience 
is a plus.
