Job description
This data scientist role sits within our Technology Insights, Futures and Foresight (TIFF) team. Our team is diverse, inclusive and focused on individual wellbeing. We are proud to support lots of different working patterns, locations and learning and development activity. We are a multidisciplinary team of analysts, data scientists, scientists, economists, and policy professionals.
The team's purpose is to provide high quality, independent evidence to inform strategic decisions on science and technology. We undertake horizon scanning for new technologies and international comparisons to understand the UK's relative areas of strength and weakness in science and technology. We work with a wide range of data and information sources including academic publication records, patents, financial and national security information.
This Data Scientist role sits within the Science Capability Analysis (SCAN) team within TIFF. The SCAN team seeks to identify the areas of benign neglect in the UK S&T landscape. As an example, a Covid-19 vaccine was created in the UK but there was no manufacturing capability. This issue was likely known to those in industry but not considered as part of a set of risks. Combining analysis of a wide range of data and information, you will work collaboratively to develop a register of issues in S&T capability areas requiring government-led or -initiated intervention, and produce assessments, reports and data on these issues to inform policy decisions. These assessments will help Government understand new and emerging risks and opportunities, and support strategic decision making within the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), the Office for Science and Technology Strategy (OSTS) and other departments across government.
We are fully committed to being an inclusive employer and ensuring equal opportunities. We are keen to make our workforce as diverse as possible and recognise how important inclusivity is to achieve the best outcomes. We hope to attract applications from all underrepresented groups.
