Data Scientist, Neurosurgery Division (Contract) - Ng Teng Fong General Hospital

We are seeking a motivated and technically capable Data Scientist to join our Neurosurgery Division. This role is ideal for early-career individuals—including fresh graduates—who are eager to grow in applied AI, data science, and MLOps in a healthcare setting.

The role involves hands-on support for ongoing validation studies and exploratory AI/ML initiatives within neurosurgery.

We welcome entry level graduates with a solid technical foundation and strong interest in clinical AI and MLOps.

• Support the production deployment and maintenance of an AI model in AWS and Kubernetes.
• Assist with the validation study of the model, ensuring scientific rigor and clinical relevance.
• Conduct exploratory data analysis and modelling to extend the current solution and support new AI/ML research directions.
• Learn and apply MLOps practices (e.g., monitoring, deployment, CI/CD pipelines).
• Collaborate with neurosurgeons, clinicians, and IT stakeholders to translate domain requirements into technical implementations.
• Participate in containerization efforts using Docker and orchestration via Kubernetes.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Mathematics, Statistics, Data Science, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Entry graduates are welcome to apply.
• Strong willingness to learn and apply cloud technologies (e.g., AWS), MLOps tools, and production systems.
• Proficiency in Python for data science (e.g., Pandas, Scikit-learn) is a must.
• Exposure or interest in learning:
• Docker and Kubernetes for deployment and orchestration.
• AWS services (ECS, SageMaker) for cloud-based application hosting and data science experimentation.
• Streamlit or other Python-based web frameworks.
• Working with RESTful APIs and structured/unstructured clinical data.
• Self-starter mindset with the ability to work independently and as part of a multi-disciplinary team.
• Passion for applying AI to real-world clinical problems and improving patient outcomes.
