SENIOR- PRINCIPAL DATA SCIENTISTS - NLP - HEALTH - EUROPE (REMOTE)
Role: Senior - Principal NLP Data Scientist
Salary: up to €150k + excellent benefits
Location: Fully Remote (EU)
The Position
The Principal Data Scientist AI/ML will contribute to the research team's effort towards exploring and creating new technology and being a world leader in data science within our fields. You will bring elements of data collection, preparation, and engineering as well as software engineering in a data science context, specifically in the applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) approaches.
Moreover, the Principal Data Scientist will, with guidance from more senior Data Scientists, contribute to the development and validation of Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) algorithms and models, and work closely with other engineers to build AI/ML-fuelled products.
As Principal Data Scientist you will:
- Applying relevant statistical, ML and AI methods to solving complex challenges in the pharmaceutical development space
- Implement and maintain local and cloud-based data and computational environments and platforms and help to integrate data and solutions from different sources
- Engage with stakeholders to understand challenges, identify areas of innovation, and build solutions using appropriate techniques
- Actively participates in cross-functional teams to develop AI and ML solutions
The Principal Data Scientist AI/ML reports to the head of the related research area and will have a variety of internal and external stakeholders across US and Denmark to
Internal partners include data scientists, specialists, engineers, software developers, technology scouts & partnership developers, system engineers, designers, anthropologists, medical doctors, IT professionals, and others across US and Denmark. External relationships include commercial and academic collaboration partners.
You will have extensive collaboration with other engineers/scientists from other disciplines to complete daily tasks and to design, code, train, test, deploy, and iterate on machine learning systems. Furthermore, you will occasionally show initiative in recognizing and addressing unmet patient needs using data.
Qualifications
A Master's degree with 3+ years' relevant experience is required or PhD Degree with 1+ years' relevant experience can be considered. Degree within computer science, molecular biology, chemistry, genetics, computational biology, or a related quantitative discipline preferred.
