KnowKancer | US-Based, Remote | Part-Time
KnowKancer is building the intelligence layer for cancer early detection — using data to identify who is most at risk. We are seeking a part-time data scientist to join a small, mission-driven team at an early-stage company at a pivotal moment.
The Role
You will work independently to analyze large datasets of clinical records, claims, genomic, and consumer data to build and refine predictive models of cancer incidence and individual risk. Alongside directed projects, you will bring your own research questions, identify analytical opportunities, and drive the work with significant autonomy.
Where findings meet publication criteria, we actively support and encourage publication.
What We Are Looking For
Advanced training in economics, biostatistics, epidemiology, or a related quantitative field
Strong experience with large administrative or claims datasets
Proficiency in R, Python, Stata, or SAS
Demonstrated experience in causal inference, survival analysis, and predictive modeling including machine learning methods
Self-directed with the ability to frame research questions independently
Interest in oncology, public health, or health economics a strong plus
Compensation: Competitive, commensurate with experience
Hours: Flexible
KnowKancer is an equal opportunity employer.
Priority deadline: October 31, 2026; applications accepted on a rolling basis thereafter.
