  • Collaborate with external researchers and partners to refine hypotheses and ensure methodological rigor.

Required Qualifications:

  • Proficiency in Python, R, or SQL for data manipulation, modeling, and visualization.

  • Ability to synthesize technical and scientific content for both technical and non-technical reviewers.

  • Strong communication, collaboration, and time management skills.
