Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Data Scientist - **Company:** Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation - **Location:** United States (Remote available) - **Salary:** $90,000.0 - $121,000.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Amazon Web Services, Bioinformatics, Cloud Computing, Python (Programming Language), Machine Learning, Workflow Management Systems, Data Processing, Information Technology - **Published:** August 5, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=e255ec5684fc6580 ## About the Role * PhD in Genetics, Genomics, Computer Science, Bioinformatics, or related field * Expertise in the rigorous analysis of highdimensional biological data (biological data science) * Expertise in or the ability to transition to R or Python * Excellent written communication skills * Must be authorized to work in the U.S., no visa sponsorship available for this role, * Demonstrable contributions to codebases for scientific projects * A proven record of collaborative scientific research as evidenced by peerreviewed publications or preprints * An existing track record of cancer research * Experience with workflow management systems (e.g., Nextflow) * Cloud computing experience (e.g., Amazon Web Services) * Experience developing or adapting instruction material * Experience writing and reviewing analytical code in a collaborative environment * Breadth across multiple data modalities is valued; experience working with singlecell or bulk transcriptomics, and/or integrating additional omics data types, is a plus * Interest or experience in developing or applying machine learning and statistical methods for biological data ## Description The Data Scientist is a point person for data-intensive cancer biology within the Data Lab. The Data Lab science team activities include a mix of research (including collaborations), short-format training workshops, and processing and curation for data products utilized by the pediatric cancer community. The Data Scientist is expected to identify opportunities to enhance Data Lab offerings and take a leadership role in execution. This team member will envision solutions that serve a community of dedicated scientists and clinicians, including those who receive grants from ALSF. The Data Lab position will provide the Data Scientist with the opportunity to envision and enhance data-processing systems as well as systems that enable the user-guided analysis and interpretation of large-scale, multi-omic datasets. This member of the team will need an understanding of how to perform robust analyses of high-dimensional biological data and to integrate across data types. The role offers latitude that grows with experience and familiarity: greater independence on work that builds on a candidate's established expertise, and closer collaboration with the Data Science Manager and the rest of the team on newer or product-facing efforts. Working in the Data Lab also provides a unique opportunity to interact with the childhood cancer research community and its supporters at ALSF. * Work with the Data Lab Data Science Manager to guide the biological challenges addressed by the Lab and/or to enhance Data Labled training efforts * Perform and summarize analyses that seek to reveal new paths to treatment of childhood cancers or enhance Data Lab offerings, in collaboration with internal teams and external partners * Integrate and harmonize across multiple data modalities (e.g., transcriptomic, genomic, epigenomic, proteomic, and imaging data) to address questions in pediatric cancer biology * Work with the Engineering and Design teams to design systems that address pressing need in cancer biology * Write and review clean, maintainable source code, documentation, and instructional material for public consumption * Represent ALSF and the Data Lab at national conferences All employees of the Foundation undertake other duties as needed and special projects as assigned. All positions at ALSF require occasional non-traditional work hours including evenings and weekends. ## Related Videos - [Geometric deep learning for drug discovery](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/264-geometric-deep-learning-for-drug-discovery) - [Green Cloud Computing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/592-green-cloud-computing) - [Implementing continuous delivery in a data processing pipeline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/73-implementing-continuous-delivery-in-a-data-processing-pipeline) - [Leverage Cloud Computing Benefits with Serverless Multi-Cloud ML ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/78-leverage-cloud-computing-benefits-with-serverless-multi-cloud-ml) - [Empowering Retail Through Applied Machine Learning](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/976-empowering-retail-through-applied-machine-learning) - [Data Science in Retail](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/586-data-science-in-retail) ## Related Articles - [Coffee with Developers - Maria Apazoglou - Making AI understandable for all in production](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/475-coffee-with-developers-maria-apazoglou-making-ai-understandable-for-all-in-production) - [Top Big Data Technologies That You Need to Know](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/108-top-big-data-technologies-that-you-need-to-know) - [How to start an AI project for a good cause and boost your career](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/15-how-to-start-an-ai-project-for-a-good-cause-and-boost-your-career) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Data Analyst Salary in the UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/278-data-analyst-salary-in-the-uk) - [Data Science & more: The Lopez dilemma](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/10-data-science-more-the-lopez-dilemma)
