Statisticians  develop and apply robust solutions and reproducible workflows across the data lifecycle for data cleaning, integration of multiple data sources, transformation, harmonization, validation, and analysis.

They design and develop dashboards and data visualizations that communicate effectively to a variety of audiences. The Statistician III also leverages machine learning and AI to enhance analytic efficiency and impact.
