Job Description
About the Role
The Applied Statistical Data Sciences group sits within the Economic Consulting segment of FTI Consulting ("FTI"). FTI provides law firms, corporations, and government agencies with sophisticated and comprehensible analyses of complex economic and statistical issues to assist them in understanding the challenges and opportunities they face. We are involved in a wide range of engagements related to economics, finance, and accounting. We provide critical insight and expert testimony in legal and regulatory proceedings. Specifically, the Applied Statistical Data Sciences group has expertise in statistical sampling and sample design, healthcare litigation consulting, data analytics, data visualization, neural network analysis, and Amazon Redshift cloud computing.
Our team is composed of professionals with a myriad of technical skills and backgrounds. We are statisticians, computer scientists, econometricians, and data scientists who are able to provide a variety of perspectives and skills to approach any quantitative challenge.
What You'll Do
We are looking for a statistician with considerable experience in statistical and econometric analysis with a matching educational background (degrees in statistics, biostatistics, and/or econometrics preferred). Particularly, the ideal candidate will be able to write code to perform various statistical analyses (estimation, statistical inference, and regression analysis) that are both technically correct and insightful. They should be able to identify and initiate analytical tasks and present data visualizations without much direction. The individual with whom we would like to work should be able to use a vast array of analytical tools and skills (such as Stata, SAS, R and/or SQL) to generate clear and concise work product for client presentations and expert reports.
Most importantly, we are looking for someone who will continue to learn and grow throughout their career. This involves absorbing new technical material (e.g., research papers, textbooks, online lectures etc.) and trying new software and techniques as the field evolves.
Specifically, we are seeking candidates who have a few years of experience working in a litigation consulting role with the technical expertise listed above. In addition to quantitative skills, candidates should have experience managing other people and different elements of a client engagement.
How You'll Grow
This is a great opportunity to strengthen your understanding of the business and use this knowledge to help build best-in-class programs. In addition, developing strong interpersonal skills by working closely with members of the FTI team.
