Data Scientist

The Data Scientist will play a crucial role in advancing the CDC Foundation's mission by leveraging data to inform strategic decisions and initiatives in a public health organization. This role is aligned to the Workforce Acceleration Initiative (WAI). WAI is a federally funded CDC Foundation program with the goal of helping the nation's public health agencies by providing them with the technology and data experts they need to accelerate their information system improvements. Working within the Eau Claire City-County Health Department, the Data and Informatics Specialist will utilize advanced analytics, statistical techniques, and machine learning algorithms to build and publish public facing dashboards on a variety of public health topics. These public facing dashboards will be used to better engage the community and expand relationships through collaborative efforts and understanding of data to improve the health of Eau Claire County and the City of Eau Claire.
