Minimum requirements
Required Skills:- Excellent programming skills in Python or R, using Linux as the working platform.
- Solid understanding of key machine learning concepts, such as regression and classification, over-fitting, cross-validation, hyper-parameter optimization.
- Solid understanding of core statistical concepts, such as the limitations of popular parametric and non-parametric statistical tests.
- Good understanding of popular machine learning algorithms, such as clustering algorithms, logistic regression, SVM classifier, etc.
- Prior image analysis, bioinformatics, and publication experience is a huge plus.
- Big data skills, such as Spark, NoSQL, and Cloud programming. This is not a big data engineering or programming position. The candidate will be trained to gain Cloud experience.
- Computer Vision. The candidate who does not have such skills should demonstrate strength in data analysis; he/she is expected to leverage in-house expertise and self-teach the subject within a reasonable time period.
