Medical Director Of Oncology Assay Development

Passionate about precision medicine and advancing the healthcare industry?With the advent of genomic sequencing, we can finally decode and process our genetic makeup. We now have more data than ever before, but providers don't have the infrastructure or expertise to make sense of this data. Here at Tempus, we believe that the treatment of cancer lies in the deep understanding of molecular activity for disease initiation, progression, and efficacious treatment based on the detection of unique biomarkers. 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.What you'll doProvide medical guidance on new assay development, new feature development, and continuous assay improvementRepresent medical oncology stakeholder for assay development and improvement decisionsProvide strategic input for assay development and improvement and troubleshoot with assay development staffAssist with regulatory and quality guidance for experimental and validation study designClosely interact with clinical laboratory directors to direct assay transfer plansInteract with vice president of clinical pathology, chief science officer, and other stakeholdersParticipate in quarterly roadmap planning for R&D resources as it pertains to assay development and improvementMinimal or no participation in routine NGS clinical signout with expectations of maintaining medical license and accreditation Preferred QualificationsMD or DO with current medical license (IL licensure preferred, required for signout)Board certified/eligible in Molecular Genetic Pathology (preferred)American Board of Pathology Certification in Anatomic and/or Clinical PathologyExtensive experience with next generation sequencing (NGS) assay development and continuous improvementsKnowledge and/or experience in oncology, cancer immunotherapy, medical immunology, or clinical researchExperience working in and building assays for a regulated clinical laboratory environment (CLIA/CAP/NYSDOH/QSR)Excellent organizational and communication skillsDynamic self-starter that works well with others in a fast paced environment#LI-KH1
