About the job
About this Opportunity:
At Freenome, we are looking for a dedicated Staff Machine Learning Scientist to join our expanding Machine Learning Science team within the Computational Science department. The ideal candidate will possess a robust understanding of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly in machine learning (ML) fundamentals, coupled with extensive experience in deep learning (DL) methodologies. We seek someone with a proven track record of leveraging these techniques to tackle complex research challenges, along with the ability to conduct independent research and flourish in a collaborative, cross-functional environment.
In this pivotal role, you will contribute to the development of innovative algorithms aimed at early detection of cancer through blood-based tests. Utilizing your ML/DL expertise and statistical knowledge, you will create models that identify molecular signals from blood samples. Collaborating closely with computational biologists, molecular biologists, and ML engineers, you will design and execute research experiments, playing a vital role in advancing an organization committed to transforming the cancer landscape.
This position reports directly to the Director of Machine Learning Science and offers a hybrid working arrangement, allowing you to work from our Brisbane, California headquarters for 2-3 days a week, or remotely.
