We are a dedicated team of scientists, bioinformaticians, statisticians, and software developers working to build new tools based on our technology that will change the way life science research is done and healthcare is delivered. Come apply your technical expertise to making healthcare better for your loved ones and the whole world.

The Director or Senior Director, Biostatistics & Bioinformatics is responsible for establishing the analysis of end points for pilot studies and guiding the development of clinical diagnostic programs. The position will involve interacting directly with the clinical collaboration team, the Chief Medical Officer, and external collaborators to establish project goals which the informatics team can efficiently execute. This individual will also perform literature searches in particular program areas to help guide project level goals and educate the project and informatics teams. As projects move from pilot studies to diagnostic development projects, this person will oversee the transition into development. This position supervises the work of a small group of Analysts. Level is commensurate with experience.
