Job Description:
We are looking for team members who are excited to make an immediate impact in a critical space. This position requires outstanding problem-solving, analytical and communication skills; experience with multitasking and prioritizing; and the tenacity to execute against deliverables in a timely, high-quality fashion. You will collaborate with a team of account directors, oncologists, product managers, and software engineers to help develop, commercialize, and deliver our analytics products.

Working in a rapidly expanding business, you will be consistently challenged to partner with Flatiron colleagues to answer important questions in cancer research.

Responsibilities:

  • Become a subject matter expert on our clinical and genomic data and its capabilities
  • Generate insights and evidence that link tumor genetics with longitudinal treatment and outcomes data. Use robust statistical methods and compelling data visualizations to make insights accessible to a wide range of end users
  • Work with a cross-functional team to define and clarify analytic requirements, develop analysis plans, ensure data quality standards, and create publication-ready methods and results; and to identify areas for automation and process efficiencies
  • Generate ideas for analyses to shape future projects, contributing to a pipeline of opportunities that will help Flatiron achieve its ambitious growth goals
Requirements:
  • You hold a Master's degree or PhD in a quantitative discipline, such as biostatistics, bioinformatics, genetics, genomics, statistical genetics, or applied statistics
  • You have at least 3-5 years of relevant work experience analyzing clinical and/or genomic data from patients
  • You have led independent analysis of large-scale cancer genomics datasets (e.g. whole-exome, whole-genome, or large targeted sequencing studies)
  • You are familiar with how sequencing data is generated, stored, and analyzed (from raw data to variant calls to analysis for disease association)
  • You are proficient in a statistical programming language (we primarily use R, but are open to people with experience in any language)
  • You are an effective communicator, both oral and written
  • You are self-motivated and flexible, thrive in highly uncertain situations, and enjoy coming up with elegant and innovative solutions to challenging problems
  • You are a "do-er"-- you know how to balance attention to detail with execution against tight timelines
  • You are passionate about our mission to improve healthcare through technology
  • You are a highly-effective collaborator and are motivated by the opportunity to work with oncologists, software engineers, product managers, and other members of the Flatiron team
Bonus Points:
  • Oncology experience
  • Experience working with longitudinal EMR data
