Technical Senior Analyst

Passionate about making a difference in the world of cancer genomics?

With the advent of genomic sequencing, we can finally understand our genetic makeup. We now have more data than ever before but providers and researchers don't have the infrastructure to make sense of said data. Here at Tempus, we are building the infrastructure to modernize cancer treatment. By analyzing a patient’s genetic data in the context of molecular therapies, Tempus empowers physicians, researchers, and scientists to use real world data to make decisions in the clinic and for discovery of novel therapies. 

We're on a mission to connect an entire ecosystem to redefine how genomic data is used in clinical and research settings. We're looking for people who are passionate about changing the status quo and bringing cancer care and research into the 21st century.
