Tempus AI Inc., Chicago, Illinois, United States, 60290
Passionate about precision medicine and advancing the healthcare industry?
Recent advancements in underlying technology have finally made it possible for AI to impact clinical care in a meaningful way. Tempus' proprietary platform connects an entire ecosystem of real-world evidence to deliver real-time, actionable insights to physicians, providing critical information about the right treatments for the right patients, at the right time.
The
Senior Scientist, Life Science, and Research Analytics
in the Real World Data Science org will leverage Tempus' multimodal database to deliver proof of concept studies and actionable findings with a strong commercial focus to internal and external stakeholders. This role will deploy a consultative approach to understand where insights from Tempus’ database can meaningfully impact patient care or development programs. In this team, you will design and perform complex computational analyses, pitch presentations, and publications to guide decision-making for biopharma and medical providers. These initiatives will deliver transformational impact in the clinical setting and across the entire drug development lifecycle. Top candidates will possess strong cancer biology and genomic analytical training and the ability to communicate complex scientific findings to diverse audiences.
Key Responsibilities:
Independent Contribution:
Independently execute complex translational and real-world evidence research projects integrating molecular and clinical data from the Tempus multimodal platform to derive novel insights.
Leadership:
Manage scientific activities, including scoping net new projects, generating high-quality contracted deliverables, and serving as the key scientific lead.
Coordinate with leads in Research, Engineering, Data Science, and Medical Affairs to identify and develop value-creation opportunities.
Help train and manage junior scientists on the team.
Scientific Communication:
Present scientific findings clearly and meaningfully to diverse sets of internal and external stakeholders.
Document, summarize, and communicate highly technical results and methods clearly to non-technical audiences.
Author whitepapers and peer-reviewed publications to illustrate the value of multimodal analysis and AI in drug discovery.
Continuous Improvement:
Stay current with industry trends, best practices, and advancements in computational oncology research to identify specific areas where the Tempus platform can establish new markets.
Conduct pipeline and portfolio reviews to proactively determine all areas where the Tempus platform could add value to the drug development or clinical setting.
Apply this knowledge to enhance research methodologies and improve overall research and Tempus offerings.
Partner with our pharma clients and commercial teams to co-architect computational research projects leveraging the Tempus platform to advance precision medicine research programs.
Develop and drive global account strategy in coordination with commercial and medical teams.
Qualifications:
