Health Researcher/Data Scientist - AI Models

Health Researcher\Data Scientist - AI Models:

On behalf of our Healthcare client, Procom is searching for a Health Researcher\Data Scientist - AI Models for a 7 month contract role. This position is remote.


Health Researcher\Data Scientist - AI Models - Job Description:

The project involves microsimulation of patient flow models as a proof of concept. The role focuses on designing and maintaining microsimulation models to represent patient trajectories through long-term care and other health services settings.


Health Researcher\Data Scientist - AI Models - Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and maintain individual-level microsimulation models representing patient trajectories through long-term care and other health services settings.
• Use open-source simulation frameworks (e.g., SimPy, mesa, simpyLC in Python; OpenM++, SimYouLate, SimPaths in R) to support discrete-event, agent-based, or hybrid simulations.
• Incorporate demographic, health status, equity stratifiers, and care pathway data to model the life-course transitions of older adults through various care settings.
• Apply model validation, calibration, and sensitivity analysis techniques to ensure internal validity and policy relevance.
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to ensure models are policy-relevant and grounded in real-world data.
• Conduct scenario analyses to evaluate the impact of alternative seniors’ home care or LTC policies.
• Communicate model assumptions, limitations, and outcomes to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Translate simulation outputs into actionable insights for stakeholders through visualizations, reports, or briefings.
• Maintain documentation and version control of model architecture, parameters, and code.
