Lead Data Scientist, AdTech
Build and own production models that match auto insurance shoppers to carriers and guide media buying, using delayed conversion data while addressing sparse sessions, repeat users, feedback loops, and market drift.
WIL is seeking a Principal Data Scientist to lead AI and machine-learning research on workforce and public-program data as principal investigator on federally funded projects.
About the Workforce Intelligence Lab (WIL)
The Workforce Intelligence Lab (WIL) is an applied workforce research initiative. WIL builds methodology-transparent workforce intelligence, including labor demand signals, occupational and credential pathways, and training-to-employment outcome measures, and works with education, employer, research, and community partners to turn that evidence into grant and sponsored-project collaborations.

Opportunity type: this is a contingent proposal opportunity in WIL's expert collaborator network, not a funded vacancy. It supports a competitive grant application WIL is preparing; no award has been made, and there is no guaranteed work or funding. If an award proceeds and the staffing model calls for it, WIL may offer a project-based contract or consulting engagement. We will ask before naming you or including your resume in any proposal.
