The Opportunity:
Are you excited by the prospect of unlocking the secrets held by a data set? Are you fascinated by the possibilities presented by the IoT, machine learning, and artificial intelligence advances? In an increasingly connected world, massive amounts of structured and unstructured data open new opportunities. As a data scientist, you can turn these complex data sets into useful information to solve global challenges. Across private and public sectors - from fraud detection to cancer research, to national intelligence - you know the answers are in the data.
We have an opportunity for you to use your analytical skills to improve public health. You'll work closely with your customers to understand their questions and needs, and then dig into their data-rich environment to find the pieces of their information puzzle. You'll analyze analytics and automation and use the right combination of tools and frameworks to turn that set of disparate data points into objective answers to help the client make informed decisions. You'll provide your customers with a deep understanding of their data, what it all means, and how they can use it. Join us as we use data science for good in public health. This position is located in Atlanta, GA.
Join us. The world can't wait.
