• A Ph.D. or M.S. in a quantitative field (including, but not limited to, economics, mathematics, statistics)
• 4+ years experience working with and analyzing large data sets to solve problems
• Expert knowledge of a scientific computing language (such as Python or R) and SQL
• Strong knowledge of statistics and experimental design
