Data Scientist (Biostatistics)

ABOUT PHENOME HEALTH Phenome Health is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit research organization founded in 2021 to address some of the most pressing challenges driving today’s health crisis. Guided by world-renowned scientist Dr. Leroy Hood, our team is advancing a bold paradigm shift—moving healthcare from a reactive model that treats disease to a proactive system that optimizes health. We partner with research participants to develop a disease-agnostic discovery framework and harness breakthroughs in biotechnology, digital health, and artificial intelligence. Through these efforts, we are laying the foundation for personalized, preventive, and equitable medicine of the future. Headquartered in Seattle, Washington, Phenome Health operates with a distributed team across the United States. ABOUT THE ROLE Phenome Health seeks to hire a full-time Data Scientist (Biostatistics) to join our Data Science Team Location:remote or hybrid (if in the Seattle area) The Phenome Health data science team is a multidisciplinary, inter-institutional research team working in collaboration with other parts of the non-profit organization and external partners. Its goals are to use human data resources (self-generated and public) to understand the biology of wellness and longevity and to develop insights into potential interventions and/or diagnostics that extend healthy aging. Several large, public and private multi-omic datasets are available to the team including a comprehensive in-house deeply phenotyped dataset, the UK Biobank, TwinsUK, and NIH All Of Us. With phenotypic information, and future self-generated human study datasets, these data will be used to define the pathways that are critical to identify disease transitions and extend healthspan and related outcomes. Major emphases include identifying multi-omic signatures that are associated with disease transition and longevity, as well as using systems oriented methods to identify the major pathways involved. This effort will require creative use of state-of-the art data integration, harmonization and statistical approaches. WHAT YOU'LL DO The Data Scientist assists the Phenome Health team in designing, analyzing, visualizing, interpreting and communicating large multi-omic studies. This will include but is not limited to: longitudinal analysis, survival analysis, epidemiologic modeling, Bayesian analysis, Mendelian randomization and causal inference using multi-omic data. Daily responsibilities include assembling, analyzing, and interpreting omics and phenotype data in support of research objectives.
