Project Manager III​/Senior

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. With a track record of global leadership in bone marrow transplantation, HIV/AIDS prevention, immunotherapy and COVID‑19 vaccines, Fred Hutch has earned a reputation as one of the world’s leading cancer, infectious disease and biomedical research centers.

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.

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 makes us stronger. We seek employees who bring different and innovative ways of seeing the world and solving problems.
The laboratory of Dr. Gavin Ha ((Use the "Apply for this Job" box below). Ha Lab .org/) has a Research Project Manager position open in the Herbold Computational Biology Program of the Public Health Sciences and Human Biology Divisions. We are seeking a highly motivated individual who will bring project management skills and an understanding of cancer biology to our computational team. Candidates who are excited about supporting success in multi‑disciplinary large/complex ‘omics’ cancer genomics and liquid biopsy research projects are encouraged to apply.

The position has a competitive salary and great benefits.
The Ha Lab develops computational approaches to study cancer genomes from tumors and liquid biopsies, such as circulating tumor DNA. Their goals are to uncover mechanisms of treatment resistance, to identify blood‑based genetic biomarkers, and to translate these findings to help improve clinical applications. The lab is supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and DoD/CDMRP, including receiving funding from the NIH Director’s New Innovator Award, the Prostate Cancer Foundation, and the V Foundation.
We work in an interdisciplinary team environment with many local and external experts. All our projects involve partnering with investigators who have diverse expertise in molecular and experimental biology, cancer biology, and clinical research. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to support transformative and leading‑edge research problems in cancer research:

• Cancer Genome Analysis – study tumor evolution, non‑coding genome alterations, genome rearrangements and chromatin organization, cell plasticity, metastatic disease
• Liquid Biopsy Analysis and Methods Development – develop new computational methodologies for exploiting liquid biopsies to study cancer and to advance precision oncology
• Prenatal diagnostics and Pregnancy disorders – study of prenatal cell‑free DNA to study pregnancy disorders such as preeclampsia, including development of new methodologies for early detection monitoring.
• Multi‑omic Data Integration – using genome, transcriptome, methylome, and chromatin/epigenetic data modalities to study cancer subtypes, phenotypes, heterogeneity, and resistance to therapy.
