Data scientist work involves overlapping skills including data analysis, analytical applications, big data engineering, algorithms, domain expertise (e.g., data cleansing, data management, analytics, visualization and engineering), statistics and machine learning,\u201d Reinhold wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOPM has determined that data science work may be found in various occupational series, including but not limited to, the Epidemiology &#8211; Medical and Health Care Series (0601); Actuarial Science Series (1510); Operations Research Series (1515); Statistician Series (1550), and IT Specialist &#8211; Data Administration (2210). The occupational series in which data scientist work is performed is determined by the domain expertise required to conduct data scientist activities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some agencies already employ data scientist positions, but this new authority will allow for feds with other job titles, but whose work heavily involves data science, to add the parenthetical to their job title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Trump administration has placed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/management\/2019\/03\/21\/one-year-in-workforce-is-the-management-agenda-cornerstone\/\" target=_blank>workforce development at the center of its IT
