Professor of Biostatistics/Chair, Department of Biostatistics and Computational Biology

The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) and the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) are seeking a distinguished statistical scientist to serve as chair of the Department of Biostatistics and Computational Biology at DFCI. The successful candidate will also be appointed as a tenured professor in the Department of Biostatistics at the Harvard School of Public Health and will provide leadership in the cancer training and research program in the department.

The Department of Biostatistics and Computational Biology at the DFCI is an active department of sixteen faculty, twelve doctoral research scientists, and fifteen masters-level statisticians conducting wide-ranging methodological research in biostatistics and computational biology and collaborative research in cancer. The department is home to the statistical centers for the International Breast Cancer Study Group, the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group, and the National Cancer Care and Outcomes Research and Surveillance Consortium, and coordinates the Biostatistics Core Facility for the Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center. The department is closely affiliated with the Department of Biostatistics at HSPH, where most DFCI faculty hold joint appointments and participate in the graduate training program.

The successful candidate will be a visionary leader, internationally recognized as a pre-eminent statistical scientist with an established record of scholarship, ideally in the area of cancer research. Candidates should hold a doctoral degree in a relevant field.
