    • A strong interest in Artificial Intelligence and how it will shape our future.
    • Great software development skills in Python, with a focus for building sound and scalable algorithms.

    • A passion for finding, analyzing, and incorporating the latest research directly into the production environment.
    • Good intuition for understanding what good research looks like, and where we should focus effort to maximize outcomes.

Bonus points if you have:

    • 7 years of relevant work experience (e.g., as a statistician / computational biologist / bioinformatician / data scientist), including deep expertise and experience with statistical data analysis such as linear models, multivariate analysis, stochastic models, sampling methods. Analytical engagements outside class work while at school can be included.
    • 5 years of people management / leadership experience. Demonstrated willingness to both teach others and learn new techniques, including people management.
