Qualifications

– At least 5 years of professional work experience in an applied data science role dealing with regulated health or clinical data or any other highly regulated dataset.
– A willingness to engage with stakeholders and understand business strategy to establish a “definition of value” before considering technical approaches.

– Expertise in several techniques such as (but not limited to): Bayesian statistics and modeling, linear/nonlinear regression, linear optimization, mixed integer programming, supervised/unsupervised learning, expert systems, network analysis, and neural networks.
– Familiarity (or ability to become familiar) with privacy-preserving or identity protecting techniques and ways to discern bias in models that may impact recommendations regarding diverse and underserved populations.
– Expertise in Python and SQL and deep familiarity with corresponding analytics, visualization, and data processing libraries.
– Understanding of the nuances of testing models and addressing the scalability and accuracy of analytical processes in probabilistic systems.
– Relevant published or publicized professional or academic work such as open-source contributions, blog posts, or publications.
