Principal Data Scientist
We are leading an AI Lab, pioneering in the field of artificial intelligence in healthcare. Our mission is to revolutionize the way AI models are developed and deployed, making it accessible and efficient for healthcare use. We are committed to creating an AI platform that empowers data scientists and engineers to bring their AI models from conception to production seamlessly.
The successful candidate will lead a team of Data Scientists who partner with clinicians to propose, develop, and implement advanced Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning Models and pipelines to augment clinical workflows in NHG cluster. As a Principal Data Scientist, you will provide strategic direction, oversee the teams work, and ensure the adequacy and effectiveness of the models and tools for NHG. You will also work closely with our AI Ethics and Governance Specialist to ensure the ethical and responsible use of AI within our organization.
Primary Responsibilities
In this role, you will:
Provide strategic direction and oversight for AI and data science initiatives across the organization, including the annual workplan of Data Science innovation across the organisation.
Lead the development and implementation of advanced analytics models and machine learning algorithms in key areas such as clinical notes, medical images, and patients data
Strong operational focus in driving the development of data science capability across the National Healthcare Group cluster and focus on conceptualising and delivering new capabilities to transform healthcare and able to plan and manage the entire system of AI models, dashboards and AI software services.
Drive the research and development of complex neural network models for text analysis, opinion mining, and other advanced AI tasks
Collaborate closely with the AI Ethics and Governance Specialist to identify and mitigate risks in AI projects, support the development and implementation of policy processes, and audit AI models and data sets for bias and fairness
Lead the optimization of data analysis processes and systems for enhanced efficiency, maintenance, and scalability
