Cures Start Here. At Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, home to three Nobel laureates, interdisciplinary teams of world-renowned scientists seek new and innovative ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer, HIV/AIDS and other life-threatening diseases. Fred Hutch’s pioneering work in bone marrow transplantation led to the development of immunotherapy, which harnesses the power of the immune system to treat cancer. An independent, nonprofit research institute based in Seattle, Fred Hutch houses the nation’s first cancer prevention research program, as well as the clinical coordinating center of the Women’s Health Initiative and the international headquarters of the HIV Vaccine Trials Network. Careers Start Here.
At Fred Hutch, we believe that the innovation, collaboration, and rigor that result from diversity and inclusion are critical to our mission of eliminating cancer and related diseases. We seek employees who bring different and innovative ways of seeing the world and solving problems. Fred Hutch is in pursuit of becoming an antiracist organization. We are committed to ensuring that all candidates hired share our commitment to diversity, antiracism, and inclusion.
A Computational Biologist/Bioinformatics Analyst position in the laboratory of Dr. Erick Matsen and the Computational Biology Program is available immediately. The position is to develop novel variational Bayes approaches to phylogenetics.
We will work together to develop and implement new algorithms in our C++ library, as well as maintain/refactor our codebase as it evolves in response to what we learn in our research. We will collaborate with research groups across the world, including:
This position has no formal education or academic publication requirements. We welcome people to apply whatever their background. This position is budgeted for a junior-level programmer, but more experienced developers are encouraged to get in touch and we will see what we can do.

Post-Doctoral Research Fellow/Research Associate - Postdoctoral position to develop Bayesian methods for B cell receptor sequence lineages
The goal of our project is to develop, implement, and apply Bayesian evolutionary algorithms for the analysis of B cell receptor sequence lineages. These lineages are important for understanding the events leading to the development of high-affinity antibodies.
We are motivated to:
We will work together to develop novel models, implement these models in open-source software, write tests to verify correctness, apply the methods to a variety of data sets, and write papers describing the results.
We’ll have the opportunity to work with a broad range of leading researchers, including:

The ideal candidate for this project would have experience with the statistical underpinnings of Bayesian phylogenetic analysis, as well as experience implementing models in code. However, we welcome applications from candidates with less statistical expertise but a deep desire to expand their skills in this area. We hope applicants will want to improve their coding abilities through clean coding practices, code review, and a modern development workflow. The ideal candidate would also be motivated to improve biological understanding through computation, and so would be enthusiastic about working closely with our leading biologist collaborators.

The laboratory of Dr. Gavin Ha in the Computational Biology Program of the Public Health Sciences and Human Biology Divisions has an open position for a Research Laboratory Manager. We are seeking a highly motivated individual who has the experience and leadership to support the group’s development of innovative computational and experimental approaches to study the genetics and epigenetics of cancer. Candidates who are excited to be part of a team working on large/complex ‘omics’ data analysis of cancer genomes and “liquid biopsy” approaches to study cancer are encouraged to apply. The position has a competitive salary with great benefits.
The Ha Laboratory is located in the Lake Union Steam Plant Building, which is the newest Fred Hutch facility. Steam is home to 23 laboratories consisting of 275 experts in computational biology, data science, and immunotherapy who use cutting-edge technologies and tools to revolutionize cancer treatment. The Ha Laboratory is seeking a motivated individual to plan and implement start-up of wet-lab operations in a newly renovated laboratory space, and to manage experimental and computational projects.
We work in an interdisciplinary team environment with many local and external experts. All of our projects involve partnering with investigators and laboratories who have diverse expertise in computational, molecular, experimental, and cancer biology, and in clinical research.
The study areas for this position center on cancer genomics, tumor microenvironment, chromatin and epigenetic profiling, cell-free DNA from liquid biopsies, and translation of cancer biomarkers to improve treatment strategies.
