  • Programming experience in R and Python
  • Solid grasp of biostatistics, especially probability theory
  • Experience with prediction modeling and machine learning, including experience using proper scoring rules

Ideally, you'll also have:

  • Expert knowledge and understanding of worldwide cancer biomarker and detection assay development pipelines
  • Experience with cell-based assays, immunofluorescent microscopy, qPCR, flow cytometry, single-cell genomics, RNAseq, cell culture, organoid culture, Illumina NextSeq 550, DNA methylation sequencing, ddPCR, Luminex, clinical chemistry instrumentation, Kryptor, Access 2, robotic liquid handling (e.g. Tecan), Vortex, and DepArray
  • Experience with protein, RNA, and small metabolite cancer biomarker analysis

And you'll need:
