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.

• Partner with pharmaceutical collaborators to independently execute robust RWE research plans that leverage the Tempus multimodal platform to address key questions in trial design and outcomes research.
• Lead the derivation of complex real-world endpoints using extensive coding, demonstrating deep comprehension of Tempus clinical and molecular data structures and complexity, while also serving as an expert on the methodological nuances and limitations of real-world data.
• Stay up-to-date on methodological advancements in real-world studies (eg, causal inference, survival analysis) and oncology guidelines (NCCN and ongoing clinical trials) to contribute to reusable code, internal packages, and best practices that can be applied across multiple collaborations.
• Incorporate LLMs, agentic workflows and other AI tools into day-to-day workflows to accelerate code development, discovery, documentation, review, and insight generation.
• Interpret results of RWE analyses to draw appropriate inferences based on study design/statistical methods, while also evaluating study limitations.
• Communicate complex methods and results clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Prepare and present internal reports, external-facing deliverables, and where appropriate, manuscripts or conference materials.
• Collaborate with internal product, oncology, and clinical abstraction, and real-world data science teams to continually enhance Tempus data quality, products, and analytical best practices.

• Education: PhD or Master's degree in epidemiology, biostatistics, data science, public health, or a related field and at least 2 years of additional work experience.
• Technical and Statistical Proficiency: Proficiency with observational real-world healthcare data, including time-to-event methodologies (survival analysis); proven expertise in executing RWD analytical studies; proficiency in R and SQL, especially statistical tools and packages; proficiency in machine learning, LLM-based coding assistants (eg, Copilot, Cursor), and agentic frameworks; adherence to good software engineering practices (version control, modular code, documentation).
• Communication & Client Focus: Demonstrated experience interfacing with clients, showcasing adeptness in presenting and tailoring messaging to a variety of stakeholders.
• Soft Skills: Excellent written and verbal communication skills with strong project management skills; ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment working with multi-disciplinary scientists on complex problems.

• Experience working with Pharma or drug development; experience in clinical trial design (particularly Phase II-III) in the clinical development space.
• Analytical proficiency with claims, EHR, or registry data; practical experience configuring or adapting LLMs, or using related tools/frameworks to support scientific work.
• Knowledge of oncology guidelines (eg, NCCN); experience with biomarker or molecular data (eg, genomics).
• Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, BigQuery, and/or Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
