  • Develop algorithms used to gain insight into cancer variation through analysis of next generation sequencing data
  • Communicate with outside scientific teams as well as product and bioinformatics leadership
  • Produce high quality and detailed documentation for all projects

Required Experience:

  • Ph.D. in quantitative scientific discipline
  • Significant experience in medical device development and regulatory submission
  • 7+ years experience in a supervisory or team lead role
  • Computational skills using R, Bioconductor, and/or Python.

Ideal candidates will possess:
