Staff Machine Learning and Bioinformatics Scientist (Multi-Cancer Early Detection)

Natera's Research team is hiring a Staff Machine Learning and Bioinformatics Scientist to develop statistical and machine learning methods for its Multi-Cancer Early Detection (MCED) blood-based screening program. The role leads novel method development, builds interpretable deep learning and multimodal models, prototypes ML solutions on genomic data, and works closely with molecular biologists to translate findings into clinical products. Candidates need a PhD in a quantitative field with 6-12 years of post-doctoral experience, strong Python skills, and expertise in deep learning applied to cancer genomics; mentoring junior scientists is part of the role. Preferred background includes DNA methylation, cell-free DNA analysis, and foundation models for biological data.
