Associate Data Scientist

The Department of Population and Public Health Sciences at the University of Southern California (USC) invites applications for an Associate Data Scientist position supporting research in environmental health, exposomics, air pollution, and geospatial methods for modeling environmental and extreme weather-related exposures and their health impacts across the life course. This position offers opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration and professional development, including co-authorship on publications, presentation at scientific conferences, and involvement in grant-funded research projects.

Areas of scientific investigation include methods development around extreme weather and health, electronic medical record mining, large scale geospatial, remote sensing, and multimodal data integration and analysis, mobility and activity space analysis, and standardization of exposomics data pipelines. Additional areas of interest may include the joint modeling of multiple exposures and interactions with community- and individual-level adaptation and resilience factors on health outcomes.

The successful candidate will use analytical, statistical, and programming skills to collect, analyze, and interpret large and complex data sets, and will assist with identifying data-analytic problems, determining the correct data sources, and developing solutions. Individuals with strong technical skills in statistical programming, data modeling, and machine learning – particularly as…
