We are united by a single vision to help people live longer healthier lives, using the power of genomics.\nGenomics aims to help people live longer, healthier lives in two ways: super-charging drug discovery and development for novel treatments with our AI-enabled advanced genetic analytics platform, and by helping people understand their personal risk of common chronic diseases through polygenic risk scores - giving doctors and health systems the chance to get the right people into the right prevention, screening and treatment programmes at the right time.\nA Day in the Life\nNo two projects look the same, but a typical week might see you framing the right scientific question for a complex genomic analysis, then structuring the work so your team can run with it. You make the decisive calls when a problem is ambiguous or novel, and you roll up your sleeves on the toughest analyses yourself rather than watching from the sidelines.\nYou might act as strategic consultant to an external pharma or biotech partner in the morning - fielding sharp technical questions in real time - and mentor a junior colleague through a tricky method in the afternoon. Throughout, you are translating dense genomic results into clear, actionable insight, spotting delivery risks before they become problems, and keeping one eye on scientific quality and the other on scope, timelines and the partner experience.\nWho You Are\nYou are a scientist who has moved beyond individual contribution and wants genuine ownership of outcomes. You hold a PhD (or equivalent experience) in a quantitative life-science discipline - genomics, bioinformatics, computational biology, statistics or a closely related field - and you have led complex scientific projects from end to end, managing timelines, scope and stakeholder expectations along the way.\nYou are fluent in genomic data analysis at scale, comfortable with large genetic datasets, GWAS, polygenic risk scores and related methodologies. Success in this role demands a robust grasp of statistical human genetics, applied inventively in a partner-facing environment: you excel at unravelling complex genomic data and have a knack for translating raw findings into actionable consulting insights, working collectively with both your highly skilled internal team and external partners.\nYou communicate with equal ease whether presenting to a non-specialist audience or debugging a method at your desk, you make sound analytical judgements under uncertainty, and you work naturally across teams. Most of all, you are ready to start bringing others up with you.\nYour Package\nWe are committed to providing a transparent, supportive, and rewarding work environment.\nCompensation & Growth\nCompetitive Salary: Salaries are externally benchmarked annually to ensure competitive compensation.\n\nClear Career Path: A straightforward, open progression framework means you'll always know the path to promotion and how to achieve your next career goal.\n\nContinuous Learning: Including external courses and a wide library of L&D materials, because your growth is our success.\n\nWellbeing & Time Off\nHoliday: 25 days annual leave, plus bank holidays, plus an extra 3-day company-wide shutdown at year-end.\n\nFinancial & Health Security: Robust benefits including a market-leading pension scheme, comprehensive private health insurance for you and your family with NO excess, critical illness, and life assurance.\n\nEnhanced Leave: Enhanced paid family leave to support all new parents.\n\nWork Environment & Culture\nFlexible Working: Hybrid Working (e.g., From our London, Oxford Office)\n\nTruly Inclusive Time Off: Our 'Bank Your Bank Holiday' program allows you to exchange public holidays for dates that hold personal or cultural significance to you.\n\nVibrant Social Culture: From regular Town Halls and team picnics to organised sports events, our social committee ensures frequent opportunities to connect and celebrate.\n\nGreen Commute: Cycle-to-Work scheme and convenient office locations near major transport hubs.\n\nReady to Build the Future?\nIf this opportunity excites you, apply now!\nWe are dedicated to creating a diverse environment and are proud to be an equal-opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.\nGenomics politely requests no contact from recruitment agencies. We do not accept speculative CVs from recruitment agencies nor accept the fees associated with them.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4869,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"phd","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Annual leave","Continuous learning","Flexible schedule","Health insurance","Hybrid work","Parental leave"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Genomics & Genetic Testing","Precision Medicine"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-06T03:05:18Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":23,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.641,"p_room":0.36,"age_days":92,"expected_fill_days":60,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-25T05:49:26Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/genomics-lead-scientist","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/genomics-lead-scientist.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-25T23:01:18Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":32420,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-26T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":52323},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=52323"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fgenomics-lead-scientist"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fgenomics-lead-scientist"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fgenomics-lead-scientist"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/genomics-lead-scientist\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fgenomics-lead-scientist"}]}
