STR's Analytics division researches and develops advanced analytics and machine learning-based solutions to solve challenging problems related to national security. Our team consists of passionate and motivated engineers with advanced degrees in engineering, computer science, mathematics, and data science, who are seeking opportunities to use their deep technical knowledge and creativity to tackle some of the hardest problems that our customers face. Our projects span multiple different data modalities and incorporate advanced algorithms, deep learning, and statistical techniques to uncover patterns in social media, structured and unstructured text, time series, geospatial, and imagery data, and must operate under challenging constraints not typically found in the commercial world. The tools and technologies we develop have real world impact and US Government analysts use them to extract and enrich intelligence information around the globe. As a Data Scientist, you will analyze a diverse of collection of interesting and challenging datasets to develop, implement, and evaluate statistical machine learning algorithms to discover interesting trends and form valuable intelligence insights.

Lately, I've been meeting a lot of people who are interested in making a career shift into data science. One of the first things they always ask me is, "what does a typical day look like?". I've seen a lot of articles that give an overview of the skills and tools Data Scientists use, but I don't see very many that provide real examples of daily tasks. While every day is different, these tasks represent a typical day for me as a Senior Data Scientist at a large financial institution. I typically start my work day around 8:30 am after I roll out of bed at 8:20.

In our journey to impact patient lives, we are looking for a Junior Data Scientist (6 months Internship) to join our Data Science-Radiomics Research team in Pessac (33, Bordeaux). SOPHiA GENETICS aims at developing Data-driven medicine, by delivering pathology and treatment-specific multimodal predictive signatures to help clinician making their decisions in the patient care path. This multimodal approach relies on the aggregation of different types of medical data and on advanced machine learning and deep learning models to process and analyze them. The Data Science – Radiomics Research teams, based in Pessac (Gironde, France), are involved in a key project about lung cancer, for the purpose of predicting treatment response and patient survival. In this context, an intern position is open for February 2023, to develop specific deep-learning-based algorithms for medical image automatic processing.

The Jr Data Scientist will help develop solutions for digital marketing use cases using statistical, data mining methods and data engineering solutions, working closely with our Analytics, Media Buying Account Management, Solutions Engineering, and Econometrics teams. The Jr Data Scientist should be on the right track to become a data specialist with a vision to have a solid background in digital marketing and strong experience in the deployment of propensity modeling, clustering analysis, churn analysis, product recommender systems and descriptive analytics. The candidate can expect to participate, with the support of senior members of the team, in all phases of internal research & development and client projects, including project definition, data discovery, data engineering, model development and/or data mining, evaluating options, and making recommendations. Media.Monks is on a mission to create a new future for this industry. Build everything with a belief that changing for good comes from changing who does the work.

There are a lot of obvious differences between junior and senior data scientists, as the titles imply, but what are some lesser-known differences? In this article, we will discuss those differences along with some key duties or processes that some senior data scientists might be expected to perform, in place of a junior data scientist. First of all, it is important to note that not every company has the headcount available to have a junior, normal level, and senior-level at their company, so this comparison is only valid in those situations where they do. However, the comparisons of more experienced vs less experienced can follow the same direction. With that being said, let's dive deeper into these two roles below.

Data science has been hot for many years now, attracting attention and talent. There is a persistent thread of commentary, though, that says data science's core skill of statistical modeling is overhyped and that managers and aspiring data scientists should focus on engineering instead. Vicki Boykis' 2019 blog post was the first article I remember along these lines. Don't do a degree in data science, don't do a bootcamp…It's much easier to come into a data science and tech career through the "back door", i.e. starting out as a junior developer, or in DevOps, project management, and, perhaps most relevant, as a data analyst, information manager, or similar… While tuning models, visualization, and analysis make up some component of your time as a data scientist, data science is and has always been primarily about getting clean data in a single place to be used for interpolation. More recently, Gartner's 2020 AI hype cycle report acknowledges the role of data scientists but says: Gartner foresees developers being the major force in AI.

You are familiar with the basics of data science and now you want to level up. You're familiar with applying off-the-shelf ML algorithms and have gotten your feet wet with data wrangling and messy datasets. Now you want to go beyond where you are now and improve your data science skills. Unfortunately most guides, FAQ, and articles you've encountered are ways to dive into data science not on how to go beyond the basics. To go beyond the basics, you need to look at what it takes to be hired as a senior data scientist.

This quote is so apt. Many junior data scientists I know (this includes myself) wanted to get into data science because it was all about solving complex problems with cool new machine learning algorithms that make huge impact on a business. This was a chance to feel like the work we were doing was more important than anything we've done before. However, this is often not the case. In my opinion, the fact that expectation does not match reality is the ultimate reason why many data scientists leave.

This will make this area of data science even more commonplace not only among top tech companies, but also small and medium-sized businesses across various verticals. However, one aspect which is potentially underrated when looking at the big trends, in terms of the future of data science, is around language frameworks used to make the everyday data science tasks possible. Today, there are two major frameworks, R or Python (or in more pragmatic data science circles, both!). One is praised for having the most beautifully designed data wrangling syntax and plotting libraries, the other for its expressiveness and having the best deep learning libraries available today. However, both suffer from being relatively slow as they're higher level languages.
