Overview

Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center is an independent, nonprofit organization providing adult cancer treatment and groundbreaking research focused on cancer and infectious diseases. Based in Seattle, Fred Hutch is the only National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center in Washington.

Fred Hutch operates eight clinical care sites that provide medical oncology, infusion, radiation, proton therapy and related services, and network affiliations with hospitals in five states. Together, our fully integrated research and clinical care teams seek to discover new cures to the world's deadliest diseases and make life beyond cancer a reality.

At Fred Hutch we value collaboration, compassion, determination, excellence, innovation, integrity and respect. These values are grounded in and expressed through the principles of diversity, equity and inclusion. Our mission is directly tied to the humanity, dignity and inherent value of each employee, patient, community member and supporter. Our commitment to learning across our differences and similarities make us stronger. We seek employees who bring different and innovative ways of seeing the world and solving problems. Fred Hutch is in pursuit of becoming an anti-racist organization. We are committed to ensuring that all candidates hired share our commitment to diversity, anti-racism and inclusion.

Responsibilities

The Trevor Bedford Lab is seeking a recent or prospective doctoral graduate (PhD or equivalent qualification) with strong training in evolutionary and epidemiological dynamics. The Post-Doctoral Research Fellow will work directly with Dr. Trevor Bedford, and will conduct research on inferring fitness and evolutionary dynamics of viral variants of SARS-CoV-2 and seasonal influenza virus. This research would build from previous work in the Bedford Lab that uses changes in frequencies of different viral variants to estimate fitness values. In addition to inferring fitness, this research would seek to perform evolutionary forecasting and predict future changes in variant frequencies. We would seek to improve these evolutionary forecasts by integrating deep mutational scanning data from the Bloom Lab also at the Fred Hutch. The products of the research will be academic presentations, peer-reviewed publications and open-source software code authored by the postdoctoral fellow.

Qualifications

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:

  • PhD or equivalent degree.
  • Strong methodological background and excellent communication skills (verbal, written and presentation).

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Previous experience with evolutionary fitness models and epidemiological models.

A statement describing your commitment and contributions toward greater diversity, equity, inclusion, and antiracism in your career or that will be made through your work at Fred Hutch is requested of all finalists.

The annual base salary range for this position is from $77,976 to $150,000 and pay offered will be based on experience and qualifications. Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center offers employees a comprehensive benefits package designed to enhance health, well-being, and financial security.
