**This position is open to Ohio-based candidates only**

Join Cleveland Clinic’s Main Campus where research and surgery are advanced, technology is leading-edge, patient care is world-class, and caregivers are family. Cleveland Clinic is recognized as one of the top hospitals in the country. You will work alongside passionate and dedicated caregivers, receive endless support and appreciation, and build a rewarding career with one of the most respected healthcare organizations in the world. 

The Data Scientist applies statistical and machine learning techniques, along with modern data architectures, to solve moderately complex analytical problems involving large, unstructured datasets. This role supports advanced analytics initiatives with a strong focus on large language models (LLMs), contributing to the development of AI agents, LLM pipelines, and reusable data abstractions. The Data Scientist partners with senior and lead data scientists to deliver high-impact analytical solutions that support clinical, operational, and research goals within the Cancer Center.

This role collaborates closely with other data scientists and software engineers, and occasionally program managers, to translate analytical concepts into scalable, production-ready systems. Top performers bring strong Python development skills, hands-on experience in data science and LLM-based workflows, and healthcare domain expertise preferably in oncology combined with the ability to work effectively in cross-functional, highly technical teams.

A caregiver in this position works days, from 8:00am—5:00pm.  

A caregiver who excels in this role will:  

• Gather requirements and program model development under direction of other Data Scientists to inform problem formulation. 

• Participate in model building. 

• Utilize methods particularly in modeling, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL), Natural Language Processing (NLP) and experience designing/implementing solutions. 

• Provide insight and recommendations to solve business problems and help inform business decisions. 

• Document best practices and solution frameworks.  

• Replicate and scale solutions to business units with common/similar business needs. 

• Use expertise in defining (with internal clients) the business challenge that needs to be solved, conducting the analysis/modeling/experiment and then providing the “answer” in a clear and business-friendly manner for our clients to take actionable steps. 

• Participate with more senior data scientists or managers in peer review model assessment and feedback communication. 

 

Minimum qualifications for the ideal future caregiver include:  

• Bachelor’s Degree in Statistician, Actuarial Science, Econometrics, Physics, Biostatistics, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Engineering, Business Analytics, Economics,
