Job Description

NanoString seeks a statistician to lead development of novel statistical methodology for data arising from our new Spatial Molecular Imager instrument and corresponding assay.  As this instrument and assay represent a new field of molecular research, development of these methods will often require the Biostatistician II to work from first principles and without the aid of existing methods.  Additionally, the Biostatistician II ensures the statistical integrity and accuracy of research data and performs statistical design, modeling, and analyses. This individual provides statistical summaries and reports of studies in support of product development and works with scientists and engineers to ensure proper use of statistical methodology and interpretation of results.

• Development of novel statistical methodology for the analysis of gene expression, proteomics, and sequence data
  • Focus on single cell gene and protein expression data
• High-level applied analyses of gene expression and multi-omics data
• Statistical consultations with scientists throughout the company
• Development of software to help biologists analyze omics data
• Development of gene-expression based diagnostic predictors
