Position Overview
Adaptive is seeking an exceptional Data Scientist (biostatistics/computational biology) to join our subsidiary, Digital Biotechnologies Inc. The Data Scientist will play a critical role in helping to develop a "Next" Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) instrument specifically designed for clinical medicine. Present methods for high-throughput sequencing are not suitable for many clinical applications, as all current NGS platforms lack the combination of high accuracy, rapid turnaround time, and low cost that would lead to robust clinical utility. In collaboration with academic and industry scientists across the country, Digital Biotechnologies is engineering the first solid-state sequencer with the specifications necessary for a widely applicable clinical sequencing instrument. This position will manage, design, and coordinate research-focused experiments that leverage Digital's novel intellectual property to realize the company's strategic objectives in fundamental science, health care and business development.
