Do you have excellent numerical skills, with experience of using statistical or predictive techniques? Do you have a keen interest in using data science for the public good? Do you want to be part of a successful, leading research Institute?
The Leeds Institute for Data Analytics (LIDA) is offering 6 data scientist development posts to help advance research activity across each of its constituent areas: Artificial Intelligence (AI), health informatics, urban analytics, statistical and mathematical methods, and visualisation and immersive technologies.
This is a clearly-defined training and development role for early-career data scientists and career changers. The LIDA Data Scientist Development Programme provides an outstanding opportunity to develop skills that are in high demand within industry and academia, both nationally and globally, within a leading, state-of-the-art facility.
Our offer to those employed on the Programme includes the chance to:
Own delivery of data science project(s) and get hands-on technical experience using real data;
Establish links with project partners (internal or external) and work to provide solutions to real-world challenges;
Build skills and knowledge in advanced analytics, not only through mentorship and applied research, but also through on-site training opportunities in statistical analysis, visualisation, research methods and computer programming;
Work alongside leading scholars as part of the LIDA team and gain valuable work experience.
LIDA is committed to supporting the University’s Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy and particularly encourages applications from groups currently under-represented in data science, these include Women, Global Majority and Low Socio-Economic Background candidates.
What we offer in return
26 days holiday plus approx. 16 Bank Holidays/days that the University is closed by custom (including Christmas) – That’s 42 days a year!
