The Cancer Surveillance System (CSS) is an integral part of the Division of Public Health Sciences Epidemiology Department of Fred Hutch. CSS was established in 1974 under contract with the U.S. National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program. Its mission is to provide high quality data on all newly-diagnosed cancers (except non-melanoma skin cancers) occurring in residents of 13 counties in northwest Washington State. This department is responsible for the initial identification of 35,000 potential incident cases annually. CSS staff members perform all necessary activities to synthesize information from multiple sources and to adjudicate and validate 350 data items per case from traditional and non-traditional data sources.

Data Coordinators are responsible for reviewing all forms of HIPAA medical documentation for state mandated cancer registration and code over 350 data items for each new cancer diagnosis. In this position, one will be expected to consistently document and classify demographic, incidence, molecular, histologic, treatment and survival information following complex guidelines promulgated and annually updated by the national standard setters. Because this data is used to address clinical, epidemiologic and public health questions at both the local and national level, all staff members are required to participate in ongoing training to maintain a high level of technical accuracy demanded of this data. Nearly all aspects of this position are performed on a computer and from reading online source material. This is a reading-intensive position and requires someone who is capable of working independently.

This role will have the opportunity to work partially at our campus and remotely.

• Precisely apply the closely related but distinct lexicons for determining disease reportability, number of primaries, primary site and histology and for assigning various stage at diagnosis classifications
• Synthesize patient's medical experience from diagnosis through first course of treatment following documentation protocols for various data source types
• Document and classify data from traditional HIPAA medical documentation sources (EMR, NA, PR, HL7, and DI) and emerging new sources (MU CDA, ANSI-837, RIS, CHARS, and APCD) according to specific guidelines
• Interpret, classify, and report on experimental, molecular, and pathologic test results from patient transcripts
• Adjudicate discrepancies in data provided by various data sources
• Perform targeted audits on outlier cohorts
• Prepare written reports on data results as part of ongoing quality assurance protocols
• Follow established protocols and provide recommendations for process improvements
• Update existing procedural documentation and draft new procedures
• Validate training exercises and provide narrative feedback on issues using prescribed format
• Meet the minimum of 98% accuracy in incident reporting and progress to 99.5% accuracy
• Meet the minimum productivity standards for the various workflows
• Report on performance daily
• Follow departmental policy for 3 in-office days and 2 remote days, adhering to security and confidentiality policies and procedures.
• Must live in Washington State.

Qualifications

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:

• BA/BS in a scientific field that includes college level anatomy, physiology, and medical terminology, and the ability to apply the scientific knowledge within this specific area of study.
• Ability to work full days at a computer workstation. All aspects of this position are performed on a computer. This is a reading-intensive position using two or three monitors concurrently displaying scientific and medical technical documentation.
• High attention to detail.
• Clear and concise writing skills.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Demonstrated experience with procedure or technical writing.
• Prior experience working in a data-driven environment.

A funded Postdoctoral Fellowship (full-time/fully in-person) is available immediately within The Laboratory for the Study of Metastatic Microenvironments, led by Cyrus Ghajar. The successful candidate will:

• Build computational algorithms to uncover clonal and phylogenetic relationships between primary breast tumors and their disseminated seeds. This will require innovating approaches to cross-analyze bulk primary tumor sequencing datasets with matched bone marrow single cell sequencing data.
• Innovate computational approaches to deeply analyze immune microenvironments within the breast and bone marrow, and uncover tumor antigen-specific populations within these tissues.
• Launch a new research endeavor focused entirely on the application of spatial transcriptomics to enumerate and define cellular microenvironments – or niches – within tissues. They will work closely with members of the Ghajar Laboratory to generate ideal tissue specimens and profile them using state-of-the-art approaches. They will innovate computational methods to analyze single cell and spatial transcriptomic data, and to visualize these data.
• Drive publications and funding applications showcasing this work.
• Be motivate to compete for fellowship funding.

The ideal candidate will have a PhD in bioinformatics, statistics, computational biology, genetics, data science or related field. They will have extensive experience programming in R and/or Python.

They will be adept at displaying these data in an intuitive an artful manner. They will also generate theories and testable hypotheses based on these data, and guide follow-up studies to answer what we view as some of the most fundamentally important questions in cell biology.

This role will be 100% onsite at our Seattle South Lake Union campus.

Responsibilities

• Work with a first-in-class dataset to conduct integrative analysis of bulk and single cell tumor datasets, using genetic signatures to establish clonal relationships between the primary tumor and its disseminated seeds.
• Use these data to establish relationships between immune microenvironments and tumor cells within the breast tumor microenvironment and within distant sites.
• Analyze tissue scale spatial transcriptomic datasets spanning liver, brain, bone marrow and other normal and disseminated tumor cell bearing tissues. Develop custom models to characterize niches, niche constituents, and niche occupancy based on protein and transcript expression.
