Data Scientist - Hospital/Healthcare

Data ScientistSummary:

• The Keck Medical Center of USC seeks a Data Scientist to derive insights from the vast amounts of patient and environmental data available within our data warehouse. To achieve this goal, novel and creative machine learning and statistical analyses are needed. The incumbent will work closely with USC researcher teams to design analysis specifications, including input data specifications, data cleaning, algorithms, and interpretation of results. The incumbent will develop and implement algorithms on existing data warehouse records and may nominate new external data sources to be ingested to the data warehouse to strengthen analyses. Analyses will address a wide variety of clinical and research outcomes. The incumbent will research and implement state-of-the-art AI algorithms, apply off-the-shelf AI and data-centric tools, and collect, store, and maintain data. The successful candidate will have demonstrated competence in developing highly scalable artificial intelligence systems with multiple dependencies across teams.
