[Nicholas Meyler]

March Madness!

(1) NLP/Machine-Learning Data Scientist (Hercules,CA):

My client has remained at the center of scientific discovery for more than 50 years, manufacturing and distributing a broad range of products for the life science research and clinical diagnostic markets. The Company is renowned worldwide among hospitals, universities, major research institutions, as well as biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies for its commitment to quality and customer service. Founded in 1952, they are headquartered in Hercules, California, and serve more than 85,000 research and industry customers worldwide through its global network of operations.

My exciting Biotech Client is seeking a Natural Language Processing (NPL)/Machine Learning (ML) scientist to lead an elite data science team responsible for creating innovative tools, methods and best practices around the scientific literature. The ideal candidate cares deeply about developing and implementing solutions that dramatically improve one's ability to integrate and quantify knowledge extracted from millions of scientific publications.

What you’ll be doing:
· provide day-to-day oversight and management of the date science staff and activities
· collaborate with scientists and other business partners
· handle competing requests from a range of data customers
· lead by example through ideation, prototyping and testing
· develop best practices that provide results of the highest quality above that which is typically seen in academia and industry
· identify opportunities to blend article, technology, product metrics with internal and external data assets
· provision interactive text analytics visualizations
· build analytics prototypes and demos for end users
· provide thought leadership, provide strategic road map for text mining of scientific literature and how the literature fits into our intelligence landscape, supports new product development, business development, complements existing instrument software and potentially directly faces external customers
· building date pipelines for processing natural language text at scale
· developing front-end tools and interfaces (e.g. notification and alert systems, dashboard reports) for internal clients to view and interact with processed data
· stay up to speed on state of the art methods for efficient text processing

What you need for this role:

· MS or PhD in Computer Science, math, statistics or related field
· 10+ years text mining and machine learning
· prior experience managing and coaching deeply technical staff in an Agile environment
· prior experience with Search, machine learning and other text mining methodologies
· knowledge and experience in one or more of the following areas: Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning, Question Answering, Text Mining, Information Retrieval, Distributional Semantics, and/or Discourse Modeling
· knowledge of National Library of Medicine, PubMed,PubMed Central, and Medical Index Subject Headings and related scientific literature tools and resources

What’s in it for you:

· Competitive pay and great benefits including medical, dental, vision, 401k and more
· Opportunities for growth and training
· Stability of a profitable 60+ year old company




My new client is an exciting machine vision and robotics software company based in Tokyo, which is looking to recruit the brightest talent in the field to work in their location. In the future, some remote or US-based work will probably be available, but not now. They were stealthily founded three years ago and are already fully self-funded and profitable with a good revenue stream that has grown by 20% per year.

They gather the smartest people to tackle industrial automation problems, and are looking for talented engineers to work on motion-planning, object recognition and pose estimation for robotic manipulation, in many challenging scenarios such as random bin-picking and box-picking. They work in a fast paced, Agile environment, where they constantly collaborate, peer review ideas, and test proposed solutions. They encourage continuous brainstorming and learning within the team.

Relocation assistance and competitive salaries will be provided.
