The posting

About this opportunity:

At Freenome, we are seeking a Computational Biologist, Assay Development to help grow the Freenome’s Computational Biology, Assay Development (CBAD) team (can be a Senior Computational Biologist role depending on experience). As part of our team, you will apply your scientific expertise to the development of early, noninvasive tests for cancer detection. With a strong background in bioinformatics, statistics, and molecular biology, you will develop, write, and execute analysis plans and reports for the development and characterization of Freenome’s in vitro diagnostic devices and regulatory filings. You will work closely and cross-functionally with many teams, including Regulatory and Quality, Molecular Research and Development, Laboratory Operations, Biostatistics, Computational Science, and Engineering to enable the successful development of multiple molecular assays as part of Freenome’s diagnostic products.

The role reports to the Director of Computational Biology. This position can be a hybrid or fully remote role.

What you’ll do:

  • Plan and execute development experiments for Freenome’s multiomics cancer screening tests.
  • Partner cross-functionally with computational, development, regulatory, and quality leaders to develop and execute a regulated development strategy working toward FDA approval.
  • Use your quantitative skills to develop computational methods and interpret complex experimental results in order to optimize and validate innovative technology for sample collection, preparation, and detection.
  • Develop and execute appropriate experimental design and analysis plans for Development, Verification, and Validation studies, closely partnering with Biostatistics, Development, and Pre-Analytics teams.
  • Work closely with molecular and computational research teams developing Freenome’s IVD products for blood-based molecular assays including cell-free DNA, proteins, and additional biomarkers.
  • Impact patient lives through the development and launch of high quality cancer screening technologies

Must haves:

  • Post-graduate degree (MS or PhD) in statistics, computational biology, bioinformatics, cancer biology, or related quantitative field.
  • 2-3+ years of industry experience (for Sr. Scientist level)
  • Experience in experimental design and analysis of high-throughput, quantitative technologies in genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, or proteomics (e.g. target capture with UMI, Hi-C, ATAC-seq, RNA-seq, bisulfite sequencing, microarrays, mass spec, immunoassays).
  • Familiarity with and ability to select and leverage bioinformatics tools for the above molecular assays.
  • Experience in applied statistics, such as in hypothesis testing, regression techniques, and appropriate use of simulation.
  • Expertise in data analysis and visualization using R (tidyverse), or Python statistical packages (Numpy, Matplotlib, Pandas), or equivalent, under version control.
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills to communicate to scientific and broader audiences, with keen attention to detail.
  • Ability to work on a cross-functional team in our highly collaborative environment, working with both computational and experimental scientists.

Nice to haves:

  • Experience in the development of diagnostic devices in a regulated environment (PMA, 510(k), CE-IVD) preferred (for Sr. Scientist level).

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
