What is a clinical genomic scientist?

Clinical genomic scientists are healthcare professionals who analyze and interpret genetic and genomic data to assist in diagnosing, monitoring, and treating patients with genetic disorders. They work in laboratories and use advanced technologies, such as DNA sequencing, to identify genetic variants that may impact a person’s health. Their findings help doctors make informed medical decisions and may also guide treatment options for inherited conditions or certain cancers. Clinical genomic scientists often collaborate with genetic counselors, physicians, and researchers to ensure accurate and meaningful results.

What skills and qualifications are needed to be a clinical genomic scientist?

To thrive as a Clinical Genomic Scientist, you need a strong background in genetics, molecular biology, and bioinformatics, typically supported by an advanced degree in a relevant field. Familiarity with next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms, variant analysis software, and clinical laboratory standards like CLIA or CAP certification is essential. Attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and effective communication are vital soft skills for interpreting data and collaborating with healthcare teams. These competencies ensure accurate genomic analysis, informed clinical decisions, and high standards of patient care.

What challenges do clinical genomic scientists face when interpreting complex genetic data?

Clinical Genomic Scientists often encounter challenges such as distinguishing between benign and pathogenic genetic variants, especially when evidence is limited or conflicting. They must also stay updated with rapidly evolving genomic databases and guidelines to ensure accurate interpretations. Collaboration with genetic counselors, laboratory staff, and clinicians is essential to resolve ambiguous cases and ensure that reports are clinically meaningful. Additionally, managing large volumes of sequencing data requires strong analytical and computational skills.

Job description

Revolution Medicines is a global, commercial-state oncology company dedicated to discovering, developing and delivering innovative medicines for patients with RAS-addicted cancers. Leveraging its differentiated RAS(ON) tri-complex inhibitor platform, the company is advancing a broad, integrated portfolio of oral RAS(ON) inhibitors designed to directly target the active, cancer-driving state of RAS. Founded on rigorous scientific inquiry and a willingness to challenge long-held assumptions, Revolution Medicines is committed to changing the trajectory of disease for patients with RAS-addicted cancers worldwide.
Our people are united by a shared way of working: follow the science, challenge assumptions, act with urgency and hold ourselves to a high standard of rigor-all in service of patients.
The Opportunity:
In this role you will join the Cancer Genomics group in Clinical Biomarker Development, which sits within the Translational Medicine department to develop biomarker, technology, and computational strategies for our RAS(ON) inhibitor programs. You will drive the application of advanced genomics analyses to maximize insight generation from clinical samples in our Phase I-III studies. This role offers the chance to work in a collaborative and innovative environment, including on cross-functional teams with other computational scientists, biomarker leads, biostatisticians, and preclinical scientists.
As a Cancer Genomics Scientist II in Clinical Biomarker Development, you will:
  • Apply advanced analytics and genomics solutions to clinical biomarker data to inform research & development.
  • Integrate multi-omics datasets to interrogate disease biology and prognosis, mechanisms of resistance, and predict drug response.
  • Collaborate with cross functional teams, managing interactions with key stakeholders to deliver robust biomarker analyses and recommend follow up actions.
  • Communicate results to expert and non-expert audiences, including internal cross-functional team members and external collaborators, through scientific publications and presentations.

Required Skills, Experience, and Education:
  • A Ph.D. in Cancer Genomics, Genetics, Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, or similar degree.
  • A minimum of 2 - 6 years post-PhD experience analyzing cancer genomics data (post-doc, biotech, pharma, diagnostics, or combination).
  • A strong foundation in cancer biology, preferably with an understanding of RAS/MAPK signaling pathways in pancreatic, lung, or colorectal cancer.
  • Proficiency programming in R and/or Python, and expert in clearly documenting work with a version control system (git).
  • Experienced in Linux and the cloud, including HPC clusters and command line interface, and developing genomics workflows for large scale NGS datasets.
  • Experienced analyzing ctDNA or other liquid biopsy data derived from blood samples.
  • Experienced in the interrogation of DNA sequence data derived from tumor tissue, such as gene-panel, whole-exome or whole-genome data and downstream analytics (clonality estimates, copy number variation, chromosomal instability, mutational signatures, etc).
  • Practiced in commonly used tools and methods for DNA data analysis (GATK, Bioconductor, etc) and in utilizing publicly available datasets (TCGA, cBioPortal) to interrogate cancer genomics data.
  • Strong understanding of statistics and the ability to generate robust predictive models with multidimensional data.
  • Strong interpersonal, verbal and written communication skills; proactive, self-motivated, and adaptable in a dynamic environment.
  • Demonstrated ability to translate complex data into clear biological insight, and to influence project direction through data-driven scientific inquiry.

Preferred Skills:
  • Experienced analyzing clinical endpoints (ORR, PFS, OS) including survival analysis.
  • Longitudinal ctDNA data analysis for predicting clinical endpoints (ORR, PFS, OS).
  • Deep knowledge of pancreatic, lung, or colorectal cancer, preferably including how progression, response and resistance may be mediated by biomarkers detected in tissue and/or blood biomarkers.
