GRAIL is seeking a Senior Data Scientist to join the Computational Biology team. In this role you will work with population-scale genomic datasets from our on-market commercial product and first-in-class clinical studies to model real-world interactions between technical, biological and clinical factors that underlie current test performance and gain insights into future innovations.
You will be developing novel, state-of-the-art methods and tools that will be used to monitor the output of our in-production multi-cancer classifier. Your work will be critical to the success of a new generation of cancer detection products by defining the parameters that ensure a high level of classifier performance over time. The team works cross-functionally across Grail to connect the knowledge behind our advanced cancer detection technology with the clinical variables that define real-world usage as the product scales to large-scale adoption. The position is an exciting opportunity at the intersection of machine learning and clinical genomics to support GRAIL’s mission to detect cancer early, when it can be cured.
This role is based in Menlo Park, California, and will move to Sunnyvale, California, in Fall 2026. It offers a flexible work arrangement, with the ability to work from GRAIL's office or from home. Our current flexible work arrangement policy requires that a minimum of 40%, or 16 hours, of your total work week be on-site. Your specific schedule, determined in collaboration with your manager, will align with team and business needs and could exceed the 40% requirement for the site. At our Menlo Park campus, Tuesdays and Thursdays are the key days where we encourage on-site presence to engage in events and on-site activities.

This range reflects a good-faith estimate of the range that the Company reasonably expects to pay for the position upon hire; the actual compensation offered may vary depending on factors such as the candidate’s qualifications.
