MSL - Mid Atlantic

Medical Science Liaisons (MSLs) at Veracyte are scientific and clinical experts in genomics and disease states who provide high-value education to healthcare providers (HCPs). Their goal is to drive understanding and appropriate adoption of the company’s molecular diagnostic tests for thyroid cancer. 

MSLs are recognized experts and trusted partners, serving as primary scientific and clinical resource to both external stakeholders and internal teams.  They translate complex genomic and clinical data into clear, actionable insights and support the full product lifecycle through educational initiatives, real-world evidence generation, and scientific collaboration.  MSLs are energized by providing clear solutions to physicians and patients for currently unmet diagnostic and clinical needs.  An essential responsibility for this position will be to stimulate investigator-initiated studies using Veracyte’s rich genomic dataset and work closely with Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) through study completion.

This field-based role is part of the Medical Affairs organization and requires extensive collaboration with sales, marketing, and cross-functional teams.  Approximately 80% of the time is dedicated to HCP-facing activities (in-person or virtually), with the remaining 20% focused on internal collaborations.  This role requires ~60% travel, across the Southern Mid-Atlantic region. Ideal candidates will be from the mid-Atlantic region especially Maryland, Delaware, Washington DC, Virginia, W. Virginia
