Health Data Scientist
The Opportunity:
As a health data scientist, you relish the task of unlocking the secrets within a data set, and you are captivated by the prospects of the Internet of Things (IoT), machine learning, and artificial intelligence. In our increasingly connected world, vast amounts of structured and unstructured data herald new opportunities. As a health data scientist at Booz Allen, you can help convert these complex data sets into useful information to solve worldwide challenges. From private to public sectors - from detecting fraud to researching cancer to national intelligence - we need you to help find the answers within the data.
In our team, you will use your leadership abilities and data science expertise to make a palpable impact. You will work closely with clients to understand their queries and needs, before delving into their data-rich surroundings to find the pieces of their information puzzle. You will guide team members and lead the development of algorithms and systems. You will use the right combination of tools and frameworks to transform disparate data points into objective answers to advise your clients as they make informed decisions. Ultimately, you will provide a deep understanding of the data, its interpretation, and its potential applications.
