IT Professional - 38989 University Staff
Alzheimer's disease is a leading cause of death in the United States, and scalable digital tools for prevention and early detection are urgently needed. Our team is building machine learning-driven digital biomarkers from wearable sleep electroencephalography (EEG) to assess neurodegenerative changes before symptoms appear.Some examples of projects include the following:We're seeking a Part-Time Data Scientist who can analyze real-world datasets and build well-documented, reproducible applied mathematical analysis pipelines in Python. You will drive exploratory data analysis, feature engineering, and model development, while applying solid documentation and coding practices that make results reliable and repeatable.Candidates with backgrounds in Applied Mathematics who bring strong data-analysis skills and practical ML experience are encouraged to apply. Equivalent real-world experience is welcome.
this role is eligible to work remotely, but the employee must be in the United States.
