Data Analyst/Scientist

Passionate about making a difference in the world of cancer genomics?

With the advent of genomic sequencing, we can finally decode and process our genetic makeup. We now have more data than ever before but industrial researchers don't have the infrastructure or expertise to make sense of this data. We're on a mission to connect an entire ecosystem to redefine how genomic and clinical data is used for evidence-based medicine. 

We are seeking a highly motivated and capable data analyst to help our clients work with the complex and nuanced data associated with real-world cancer treatment. The data analysts and scientists on the Outsights team own the analytical translation of Tempus data to the world of our pharma clients--you will own tasks like executing analytics projects, doing feasibility analyses and cohort cutting on delivered data, training clients on our data model, and answering Tempus Data questions across all modalities (molecular, clinical, and imaging data) with most emphasis on clinical questions. The scientists/analysts on this team are expert communicators of our data model, savvy with SQL and R/python for doing data transformations to make the data usable for our clients, and are the in-house experts on what clients want when they work with our data.
