Senior Data Scientist

Responsibilities

• Site Randomization Forecasting: Develop/enhance forecasting models for site randomization and enrollment trends, enabling better planning and resource allocation across trial sites.
• Patient Matching/Ranking Algorithms: Support projects to build algorithms that intelligently match patients to (or rank patients for) appropriate clinical trials, enhancing recruitment efficiency and patient inclusion.
• Create and refine predictive models (Bayesian inference, regression analysis, time-series forecasting) to address other key clinical trial challenges and improve decision-making.
• AI Monitoring and Bias Detection: Implement processes to monitor machine learning models in production, detecting bias or performance drift and ensuring models remain fair, accurate, and compliant.
• Data Pipeline & Tooling Development: Build and optimize data pipelines and analytical workflows using tools like AWS Athena, Redshift, SageMaker, and dbt, enabling scalable model training and deployment.
• Regulatory Compliance in Data Science: Ensure all data science practices align with HIPAA, GDPR, and other privacy regulations, integrating compliance considerations into model development and data handling.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with machine learning engineers, product managers, and other stakeholders to integrate models into products and clearly communicate insights and recommendations.

Requirements

• Minimum Education: Minimum of Master’s or Ph.D. in Statistics, Data Science, Computer Science, or a related quantitative field (or equivalent professional experience).
• Minimum Experience: Minimum of 5+ years of hands-on data science or analytics experience, preferably in a healthcare, clinical research, or other highly regulated data environment.
• Statistical & ML Expertise: Strong foundation in statistical modeling and machine learning techniques, including experience with Bayesian methods, regression analysis, and time-series forecasting.
• Model Monitoring & Fairness: Proficiency in evaluating model performance and bias, with the ability to implement AI monitoring tools and bias mitigation strategies to ensure ethical and reliable outcomes.
• Technical Toolset: Advanced programming skills in Python (with libraries such as scikit-learn, PyMC, mlforecast, etc.) and SQL, as well as familiarity with data transformation tools like dbt.
• Cloud & Data Infrastructure: Hands-on experience with cloud-based analytics and ML services, especially AWS tools (Athena for querying, Redshift for data warehousing, SageMaker for model development/deployment).
• Regulated Data Handling: Experience working with sensitive healthcare or clinical trial data under regulations like HIPAA and GDPR, demonstrating a deep commitment to data privacy and security best practices.
• Collaborative Communication: Excellent teamwork and meticulous verbal/written communication abilities, with a track record of partnering with engineering and product teams to translate data science work into actionable business solutions.
• Domain Knowledge: Understanding of clinical research or health-tech environments is highly valuable, including insight into clinical trial operations and a passion for improving patient outcomes through data.
