The data types included will range from patient-specific to aggregated data, spanning the continuum of genetics, multi-omics, metabolomics, physiologic/wearable data, tissue, organ, imaging data, and patient-specific longitudinal electronic health record (EHR) data, including relevant Social Determinates of Health (SDOH) and geospatially encoded demographic and health outcomes data. Minimum Qualifications: Recent PhD in computational Biology, Statistics, Computer Science or related field. Deep understanding of next generation sequencing data and bioinformatics algorithms.
