Job Description

• Apply and adapt machine learning and statistical modeling approaches for biomarker discovery and longitudinal disease tracking. • Build scalable, production-ready analysis pipelines that meet clinical-grade performance standards. • Drive the adoption and refinement of machine learning best practices, including model interpretability, uncertainty estimation, and reproducibility. • Design computational strategies for ultrasensitive variant calling, error suppression, and signal extraction from sequencing data. • Collaborate cross-functionally with bioinformatics and data scientists, R&D and clinical teams to explore new ML approaches and evaluate their potential impact. • Actively participate in code and design reviews, with a focus on ML model quality, reproducibility, and integration into production pipelines.

Job Requirements

  • Ph.D. in Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, Computer Science, Statistics, or related field.
  • At least 2-3 years of postdoctoral or industry experience preferred, with demonstrated contributions in NGS data analysis and algorithm development.
  • Strong foundation in machine learning, including GLMs, tree-based methods, and neural networks.
  • Experience working with biological datasets, especially DNA sequencing and liquid biopsy.
  • Familiarity with ML frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn) for biological data.
  • Proficient in Python and its scientific computing libraries (e.g., NumPy, Pandas, Scikit-learn).
  • Exposure to cloud computing environments (preferably AWS).
  • Eagerness to learn and teach new methods and contribute to a collaborative, fast-paced team.

Benefits

  • Competitive Compensation and company wide benefits plan
  • Opportunities for career advancement and professional development
  • A collaborative and innovative work environment dedicated to improving oncology outcomes
