Build machine learning models with agricultural data for R&D and production use cases. Wrangle flat, nested, and spatial data and perform associated QC procedures. Leverage classical statistical modeling techniques from experimental designs, generalized linear mixed models and predictive regression models. Build and maintain machine learning tools to improve existing processes and create opportunities for new model applications.
Required Skills:
Ph.D. (or MS with 4+ years of post MS experience) in Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Geospatial Science or closely related field.
2 years of experience in using machine learning, artificial intelligence & statistical methodologies to solve research problems.
Proficiency in Python
2 years of experience in using machine learning algorithms, artificial intelligence & statistical methodologies to solve research problems.
Experience in developing statistical, and machine learning models for environmental and agronomical applications.
Good knowledge on analytics algorithms and statistical concepts including multi-variate, computational statistics and matrix algebra.
Highly competent in current technologies and open source solutions and be self-driven and able to deliver technical work on schedule within an environment.
