Data Scientist II

Data Scientist II

Summary : Performs analysis of complex healthcare and varied data to develop innovations for pressing healthcare delivery challenges through visualization, machine learning, optimization, and statistical inference solutions. Analyzes and models structured data and implements algorithms to support analysis using advanced statistical and mathematical methods from statistics, machine learning, data mining, and predictive modeling. Develops descriptive and predictive models, from conception to completion and provides long-term support. Performs exploratory data analysis, generates and tests working hypotheses, and uncovers interesting trends and relationships. Documents and shares findings in line with scientific best practices for both technical and nontechnical audiences; and understands how to make trade-offs between methods.

Key Responsibilities :

• Data Collection and Cleaning : Collects and cleans data from various sources, ensuring data quality and integrity.
• Data Analysis : Applies statistical and machine learning techniques to identify patterns, trends, and insights in the data.
• Model Development : Assists in the development of predictive models, algorithms, and statistical analyses to solve specific business problems.
• Data Visualization : Creates clear and insightful data visualizations to communicate findings to non-technical stakeholders.
• Collaboration : Collaborates with cross-functional teams, including clinical subject matter experts, engineers and BI developers, product managers, and business analysts, to provide data-driven solutions.
• Documentation : Maintains clear and organized documentation of analysis methodologies and results.
