Compendia Bioscience is developing our next-generation cancer-research tool and we are looking for an Application Scientist to join our team.
The individuals we are looking for:
Have molecular biology, genetics, oncology or other life science domain experience.
Are able to interact effectively with scientists on a daily basis.
Can convey application capabilities and value to customers.
Are available to spend 50% of their time traveling
Communicate well in person and in writing.
Enjoy working in the dynamic environment of a startup life sciences technology company.
Significant experience interacting with customers is highly desirable. Oncology research and Bioinformatics experience are helpful but not required.
Compendia Bioscience collects, curates, analyzes, and visualizes a large database of genetic data that enables cancer researchers to understand connections between genes, diseases, and drug therapies. Started in 2006 and based on research done at the University of Michigan, Compendia Bioscience offers Oncomine, a subscription Web-application that currently supports over 5000 commercial and academic scientists.
Individuals we hire will join our team of Application Scientists responsible for keeping and growing existing customers through on-site visits with science and bioinformatics teams; training development and delivery; and technical demonstrations. This position has significant interaction with Sales & Marketing through the identification of expansion opportunities and pre-sales activities, and with Customer Support and Product Development.
Compendia's culture reflects the intellectual inquisitiveness and diverse abilities of our people. It is a place where advanced software practices intersect with cutting edge research: where an ad hoc meeting might be about a new Java open source package, a new statistical analysis technique, a new visualization technique, a new application of ontology-based knowledge representation to search techniques, or an exciting new cancer research paper. We are looking for people who are excited by such an environment, who like to learn, and who will contribute their own unique perspectives to our collective understanding of how we can harness the global collection of genomic data.
