The Dodgers are seeking a Data Scientist. Prerequisites: Many.

Do you have a Ph.D in Computer Science (Machine Learning), Statistics, Operations Research, or a related field from a top-tier university?

A minimum of five years’ work experience in mathematical, statistical, and predictive modeling (optimization, statistics, and machine learning)?

Expertise in mathematical and statistical programming (e.g., Python and R)? Proficiency with SQL and relational databases?

Hey, maybe you can work in the Dodgers’ front office!
