You’ll work with large-scale, multi-modal genomic datasets from clinical cohorts and partner closely with molecular biologists and clinical scientists. Your research will advance the state-of-the-art and you will drive new methods from prototype, through scalable implementation, toward clinical validation and, ultimately, to patients.

    PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES:

    • Lead the development of novel statistical and machine learning methods for cancer signal detection on multi-modal genomic data
    • Build interpretable, well-calibrated models, setting the standard for uncertainty estimation and reproducibility across the group
    • Prototype, test and productionize ML models using scalable infrastructure
    • Own key technical deliverables within larger projects and help shape the team’s research roadmap

    • Hands-on experience developing novel statistical / ML analysis methods applied to complex biological data
    • Proven track record of innovation and technical leadership in complex method development projects
    • Expertise in deep learning and multimodal foundation models

    • Scientific rigor throughout the R&D process, with eagerness to teach and learn new computational methods and biology
    • Excellent communication skills and a collaborative approach across teams

    Preferred Experience:

    • Familiarity with DNA methylation and other epigenomic data
    • Experience with cell-free DNA and liquid biopsy samples
    • Background in cancer genomics and diagnostics
    • Hands-on work with multimodal foundation models applied to biological data
    The pay range is listed and actual compensation packages are based on a wide array of factors unique to each candidate, including but not limited to skill set, years & depth of experience, certifications and specific office location. This may differ in other locations due to cost of labor considerations.
