Graduate Data Scientist (Remote)

Clinical trials run at hundreds of sites, managed by our clinical operations group and CRO partners. Since 1980, the company has built manufacturing sites in Queensland and abroad.

The role:

We are adding headcount to this team, so this is a new seat. The Data Science team works directly with product and finance. You'll design experiments, build forecasts and explain the results. We are headquartered in Gold Coast and have been hiring remotely since 2020. We engage team members in the UK as full-time contractors. Most of our contractors have been with us for more than two years. Core hours overlap with Sydney business hours until mid-afternoon.

What you'll be doing:

• Translate vague business questions into problems the data can actually answer
• Develop time series forecasts with Prophet, statsmodels or gradient-boosted approaches
• Estimate causal effects with difference-in-differences, propensity matching or regression discontinuity
• Validate model performance and document assumptions and limitations
• Review peers' analyses for statistical correctness
• Package reusable code instead of leaving it in one-off notebooks

Minimum qualifications:

• 1+ years of applied data science experience
• Data visualization in matplotlib, seaborn, Plotly or a BI tool
• Familiarity with Git and working in shared codebases
• Strong Python (pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn) and SQL
• Ability to communicate uncertainty and tradeoffs to non-technical audiences
• Solid grasp of statistical inference, regression and experimental design
• Experience building and validating machine learning models on real business data
