Job Summary

Are you wicked smart? Do outer joins and random forests make you giddy like when you were a kid at the toy store? Do we ever have a position for you! We are in search of a Senior Data Scientist/Machine Learning (ML) Specialist to develop predictive analytics that will help improve the treatment of patients in critical care areas such as neurologic emergencies, sepsis, cardiac arrest, and combat casualty care.

This position offers a unique opportunity in the areas of data science and analytics at the Weil Institute For Critical Care Research and Innovation within Michigan Medicine's Department of Emergency Medicine. Research in our institute focuses on developing clinical decision support systems and a real-time analytics platform for developing and translating advanced data science into critical care.

We are looking for an ambitious, talented, and self-motivated individual with an interest in solving problems as an analytical thinker. Therefore, the candidate is expected to be a dynamic problem solver who is not afraid to "fail fast" as we look to develop the best analytics possible.

This role requires active collaboration with our Data Science team as well as with other clinical collaborators within the school and in other institutes. This collaboration will include requirements gathering to ensure we fully understand exactly what "done" looks like before we start the development of a project.
