Penn Foster, Orange, California, United States, 92613


Research Computational Data Scientist II - Grant-fundedAt CHOC, we strive to be the leading destination of children’s health by providing exceptional and innovative care. We are responsible for the overall health of our community’s pediatric population in our hospitals, clinics, and practices. CHOC’s compensation structure, benefits offerings, and career development programs are geared to helping you achieve your professional and personal goals.Job SummaryThe Research Computational Scientist (RCS) II will collaborate with providers, researchers, and other associates to provide computational services required for research and implementation of research findings. This requires multidisciplinary training in the computational and data sciences including statistics, computer science, and artificial intelligence. The role will support the development and innovative application of advanced simulation, data analyses, visual analytics, or other computational techniques to research problems across the CHOC Health System.ResponsibilitiesDaily tasks include working closely with providers, researchers, and other associates to develop or deploy computational solutions required for improving knowledge, the health of patients, and the financial health of the organization. These computational solutions will include the development of new statistical, machine-learning, and artificial intelligence algorithms, improvement of existing algorithms, and analyses of data from the electronic medical records of patients. Data sources will span not just the electronic medical records but other sources of data relevant to research and organizational growth.Work LocationOrange, CaliforniaWork ShiftDay – 08hrs (United States of America)Pay RangeMinimum $46.13 Midpoint $61.13 Maximum $76.13Rate of pay is determined by various factors, including but not limited to knowledge, skills, competencies, experience, education, as well as position requirements.ExperienceRequired:
