Science and Research Biologist

At Valius, we believe that the future of cancer care will be defined by "maximalist" diagnostics: deep, comprehensive assessments of DNA, RNA, and protein designed to give patients and their care teams the best possible understanding of how their tumor works and what its vulnerabilities are.
We're building the diagnostics and bioinformatics company to power this future, starting by applying this approach to patients with challenging cancers. We've just raised a $13.5M seed round, led by 8VC and Basis Set Ventures, and are looking for people passionate about changing cancer care to join our growing team.
Computational biologist role
We're hiring a computational biologist to analyze our patients' omics data. This role sits at the intersection of cutting-edge science and real-world clinical impact: you'll apply state-of-the-art omics techniques to complex patient datasets to deliver rigorous, actionable insights.
As we grow, you'll have the potential to develop into a broader scientific leadership role.
This role will be expected to work out of our beautiful San Francisco office four days a week.
Analyze multi-modal omics data. Apply cutting-edge techniques, including scRNAseq, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing, to derive meaningful insights from complex patient datasets.
Develop and maintain analytical pipelines. Partner with the scientific and clinical teams. Continuously evaluate and incorporate emerging methods in omics and computational biology to keep Valius's science best-in-class.
