We are looking for candidates with the following skills and experience:

• M.Sc. (ideally Ph.D.) in statistics, physics, mathematics, computer science, or a related field
• Deep knowledge and expertise in data analysis and statistical interpretations of data (e.g. probability distributions, statistical tests, Bayesian inference)
• Expertise in pre-processing, cleansing, and feature engineering
• Expertise in Machine Learning
• Good working knowledge of Python (in particular: pySpark, pandas, matplotlib, etc.)
• Secure handling of Unix systems
• Ideally: Expertise in DevOps and/or coding in a production environment, as well as basic knowledge of SQL technologies and databases
