Remote Audio Machine Learning Jobs in Elgin, IL (NOW HIRING)

Passionate about precision medicine and advancing the healthcare industry?

Recent advancements in underlying technology have finally made it possible for AI to impact clinical care in a meaningful way. Tempus' proprietary platform connects an entire ecosystem of real-world evidence to deliver real-time, actionable insights to physicians, providing critical information about the right treatments for the right patients, at the right time.

At Tempus, we are pursuing a mission to redefine precision medicine through data-driven insights. The AI Products group is a multidisciplinary group of AI scientists and engineers focused on developing AI-driven precision medicine and therapeutic solutions across the clinical and drug development lifecycle.

As a Staff AI Scientist, you will operate at the intersection of machine learning and clinical science. You will research, design, and deploy cutting-edge multimodal AI models that leverage one of the world's largest clinical and molecular datasets-transforming patient care at a massive scale.

Key Responsibilities

• Technical Leadership: This is a high-impact individual contributor role, while significant hands-on contribution is expected. Architect and lead the development of AI-intensive projects from initial research to production-ready design.

• Algorithmic Innovation: Design and train state-of-the-art models utilizing multi-modal data, including but not limited to pathology slides (WSI), genomic profiles (DNA/RNA), spatial omics, and longitudinal patient records.

• Collaboration with Life Sciences Companies: Develop sophisticated AI solutions to support biomarker discovery, therapy outcome prediction, and the advancement of Companion Diagnostics (CDx).

• Regulatory Alignment: Ensure all AI products meet stringent regulatory guidelines and quality standards for healthcare applications.

• Scientific Contribution: Maintain Tempus's position as a thought leader by publishing original research in high-impact venues and engaging with the global AI research community.
