Senior Data Scientist

Details of the offer

About the Company:
This exciting opportunity is with an organisation that has locations across the country – Auckland/Wellington/Christchurch. The overall mission is to ensure the safety of the New Zealanders by safeguarding environmental and social wellbeing of people, focusing on health, food sources and economies, protecting water resources, and providing forensic support to the justice system. Science is at the heart of what they do, and the organisation is considered a world leader. They also collaborate with research institutions across the world to drive innovation back in NZ and improve scientific understanding on public matters. They really are an excellent team to be a part of!
About the Role:
This is an incredible space where you will be joining a data science practice that has health, environment and forensics as its foundational science pillars. The team operates as both a vertical and horizontal science pillar where they conduct leading edge data science research to provide greater insight and value across the foundational science pillars. This is a Senior Data Scientist position and as such requires someone coming from a researcher background, rather than analytics, and someone who is comfortable leading research projects – you will be writing papers on your projects. Collaboration is key and to ensure yours and the team's work is impactful you will need to be an excellent communicator that can effectively talk with a range of audiences and be comfortable presenting. Cambridge University and MIT are an example of some of the global organisations the team collaborates with. This role will involve a lot of experimenting through utilising synthetic data that enables agent-based modelling and machine learning. There will also be an element of leveraging your experience to train and mentor junior staff members. The most exciting part is the team view data science as a science rather than just smart analytics, therefore a PhD education will also be highly attractive.
About You:
Having excellent research and analysis experience are a given for this role but being able to explain a story and get buy-in from other teams is imperative.
Strong experience with R or Python and query languages like SQL.
Excellent understanding of scientific language and the ability to research this field.
Ability to build strong internal and external relationships.
PhD qualification.
