Who are you?
You have a background in the field of cancer genomics research, bioinformatics, and/or computer science, great communications skills, and an affinity toward open science. You can be a bridge between end users and a team of data and software engineers. You are comfortable making decisions where others are in doubt and are more of a generalist than a specialist. You are capable of convincing others through knowledge and reasoning and can keep an overview when there are many moving parts. Formal project management training is not required, but experience in similar roles can be helpful.
