About the job

Senior Data Engineer

Contract (10 months – Time Series Modelling for a COVID-19 related healthcare project).

Are you looking for a Data Science job that will genuinely impact the lives of people affected by COVID-19?

In this job, you will be working on the only project in the Middle East region that is helping improve patient outcomes during the pandemic. This is a 10-month contract starting from early-mid August working for a UK Data Analytics consulting company that holds the contract with the Abu Dhabi health department. You will be onsite at the end client Monday-Thursday in Abu Dhabi.

You will be part of a team that is building an ‘expert system’ intelligence to inform clinical judgement and operational planning. The main focus of this job is to work closely with the Data Scientist and to perm data wrangling, ETL and data modelling on healthcare datasets.

 

The system will provide decision support and help predict:

The project will be using approaches that have already been used successfully in the UK and USA. The main goal will be to rebuild models for Abu Dhabi, by calibrating the models to local data and populations.

 

The approach previously used is multivariable risk modelling – looking at the risk of particular events happening post-testing. This includes the risk of admission/ hospitalization, the requirement for high-intensity care and the risk of adverse/bad outcomes.
