Job Description

Are you a problem solver? A connector? Someone who enjoys helping others? JMP is committed to empowering scientists and engineers via our statistical discovery software.

If this interests you, keep reading. You might just be the next person to join this dynamic, growing, and global team.

What we do:

For more than 30 years, we’ve been making JMP statistical discovery software tailored to the needs of scientists and engineers. John Sall, SAS co-founder and Executive Vice President, is also the creator of JMP. What started out as Sall’s passion project has grown -- by leaps and bounds -- into a family of statistical software products that are used worldwide in nearly every industry.

We say that great software in the right hands can change the world. We say it because we’ve seen it. We’ve seen scientists and engineers use JMP to speed new drugs to market, to design better products and processes, to figure out how to restore ecosystems. You get the idea. Advancements are made when brilliant people use JMP statistical discovery software to see what they’ve not seen before.

JMP works with some of the world's most successful brands. Read more about how JMP's customers are changing the world in our Customer Stories.

It’s spelled J-M-P but pronounced “jump.” You can remember us this way: JMP users don’t jump to conclusions; they spring into action.

• Using programming skills (C++, JSL (JMP Scripting Language), R, Python) to build new extended applications for life science research.
• Developing new analysis programs and interactive visual dashboards as proof-of-concept work for future features of the Life Sciences products.
• Help with testing and evaluation of current software solutions.
• Write community posts highlighting JMP Life Sciences applications and research.

Possible extended analysis focus areas:

• Genomic biomarker discovery and machine learning applications to biological data
• Correlation Gene networks analysis
• Create unit test cases
• Automate testing

What we’re looking for

• You’re curious, passionate, authentic, and accountable. These are our values and influence everything we do.
• Pursuing a Master’s or PhD-seeking in Biostatistics, Clinical Statistics, Statistical Genomics or Systems Biology or other life-science analytic focused major.
• Someone with strong communication skills – both written and verbal.
• Be a leader. You’re the one sitting in the front row of the class.
• Embrace technology. You geek out over the latest and greatest!
• Strong programming skills.
