## About the role

Our work in Cancer Biology means measuring whether an agent can take a tumor case from raw molecular data to a real clinical decision. You'll identify real cancer-biology datasets and turn them into rigorous, deterministically-graded tasks.

## What they're looking for

- Proficiency in Python and/or R: VCF/MAF parsing, single-cell analysis (Scanpy/Seurat), gene-set scoring (GSEA/ssGSEA), immune deconvolution (CIBERSORTx), subclonal reconstruction (PyClone), statistical analysis
- Understanding of cancer-genomics standards: AMP/ASCO/CAP and ACMG/AMP variant tiers, ESCAT and OncoKB actionability levels, PAM50 and Consensus Molecular Subtypes, IFN-γ/T-cell-inflamed signature, consensus Immunoscore
- Recognize experimental variability, and assay limitations, distinguish real biological signal from pipeline or annotation artifact
- Strong written communication on technical decisions, uncertainty, and alternative interpretations
