The Department of Ophthalmology at Stanford University School of Medicine is seeking a highly motivated, hard-working and professional Data Scientist to facilitate research efforts in ophthalmology. The incumbent will be part of the Department of Ophthalmology; however, the position will be in a collaborative environment, engaging with other Stanford faculty and staff across multiple departments, including Biomedical Data Science, Research IT, and Research Informatics Center.
