About The Position

Design and develop systems to organize and streamline the use of data in the organization. Identify relationships and trends in data, as well as any factors that could affect research results. Analyze and interpret statistical data to identify significant differences in relationships among sources of information. Adapt statistical methods to solve specific problems in many fields, such as economics, biology, and engineering. Develop software applications or programming to use for statistical modeling and graphic analysis. Develop and test experimental designs, sampling techniques, and analytical methods. Prepare data for processing by organizing information, checking for inaccuracies, and adjusting and weighing raw data. Process large amounts of data for statistical modeling and graphic analysis, using computers. Determine whether statistical methods are appropriate, based on user needs or research questions of interest. Report results of statistical analyses, including information in the form of graphs, charts, and tables. Design research projects that apply valid scientific techniques and use information obtained from baselines or historical data to structure uncompromised and efficient analyses. Evaluate sources of information to determine any limitations, in terms of reliability or usability. Examine theories, such as those of probability and inference, to discover mathematical bases for new or improved methods of obtaining and evaluating numerical data. Present statistical and nonstatistical results, using charts, bullets, and graphs, in meetings or conferences to audiences such as clients, peers, and students.
