About the Role
Data Scientists transform complex data into actionable insights by defining measurement strategies, selecting appropriate statistical or machine learning methods, and communicating results. The role involves exploratory analysis, model development, validation, interpretation, and communication, with a focus on data quality, bias, uncertainty, and reproducibility.
Responsibilities
- Define what should be measured.
- Determine if available data can support a question.
- Select appropriate statistical or machine learning methods.
- Explain what results do and do not establish.
- Conduct exploratory analysis.
- Develop, validate, interpret, and communicate models.
- Examine data quality and bias.
- Test assumptions.
- Quantify uncertainty.
- Compare alternatives.
- Document methods.
- Make analyses reproducible.
- Define how model performance should be assessed over time for repeated use models.
Requirements
- A working foundation in statistics, probability, research design, ML, optimization, or another quantitative discipline relevant to the opening.
- Ability to prepare, explore, and analyze data using tools such as Python, R, or SQL, with attention to quality and provenance.
- Experience selecting methods, validating assumptions, comparing models, investigating errors, and interpreting results in context.
- Reproducible practice through documented code, version control, peer review, traceable data transformations, and clear analytical records.
- Communication judgment to explain uncertainty, bias, limitations, and appropriate use without hiding the central finding.
