    Description

    Here at Tempus, we believe that the treatment of cancer lies in the deep understanding of molecular activity for disease initiation, progression, and efficacious treatment based on the detection of unique biomarkers.

    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.

    • Provide strategic input for assay development and improvement and troubleshoot with assay development staff

    • Closely interact with clinical laboratory directors to direct assay transfer plans
    • Interact with vice president of clinical pathology, chief science officer, and other stakeholders
    • Participate in quarterly roadmap planning for R&D resources as it pertains to assay development and improvement
    • Minimal or no participation in routine NGS clinical signout with expectations of maintaining medical license and accreditation
    Preferred Qualifications


    • MD or DO with current medical license (IL licensure preferred, required for signout)
    • Board certified/eligible in Molecular Genetic Pathology (preferred)
    • American Board of Pathology Certification in Anatomic and/or Clinical Pathology
