• Familiar with ML methods, including interpreting results and experience curating data for ML methods.

• Communicate results clearly in writing, figures and presentations so that the analyses can be translated into program decisions.

Qualifications

• PhD in computational biology, bioinformatics, systems biology, cancer biology or related field with 8+ years of industry experience.

• Deep experience analyzing at least three of the following -omic datasets: transcriptomics, proteomics and their variants (e.g. phosphoproteomics, etc.), AP-MS / interactomic data and functional genomics (e.g. DepMap, CRISPR screens).

• Strong python engineering skills. Comfortable working in a shared codebase and using software engineering best practices, including code reviews.

• Clear demonstrations of the ability to take a biological question from raw data to a concrete mechanistic or translational conclusion.

• Working fluency in cancer biology, including oncogenic signaling, tumor suppressors, cell cycle and the use of biomarker classification to distinguish sensitive versus resistant populations.

• Proven ability to work independently while fostering collaboration in a team environment.

• Excellent organizational, communication, and interpersonal skills.
