Job Description
As data scientists and librarians, our alumni continue to make use of the skillsets that they honed while in one of our graduate programs. Our alumni in data science careers use scientific methods to extract knowledge from data sets in order to apply the knowledge to understand and solve a wide range of problems.
As university librarians, our alumni support the research and teaching needs of students and faculty and are an integral part of the collection, organization, preservation, and dissemination of information resources.
