Close Date 05/12/2026 Priority Review Date (Note - Posting may close at any time) Job Summary As a Data Scientist in the University of Utah Health System Insight Center, you will help health system leaders make better, faster, and more confident decisions on complex issues that cut across market, clinical, economic, and operational domains. This is not a narrow reporting or dashboarding role. It is an opportunity to work on high-leverage system questions involving growth, access, capacity, performance, value, and innovation, often in direct support of leadership and committee decision-making. The Health System Insight Center is a system-level analytics capability designed to bring together shared definitions, comparable methods, and decision-ready insight so leaders can act with clarity on important enterprise issues. In this role, you will analyze and interpret complex data, build models and narratives that help resolve ambiguity, and translate findings into implications and recommendations that are useful beyond any single project. The work frequently involves patient segmentation, demand and capacity modeling, market and partner analysis, cost and margin modeling, and outcome analytics. You will be successful here if you are comfortable solving new problems creatively and in partnership with others, are able to define useful questions before rushing to answer them and motivated by work that informs real decisions rather than producing analysis for its own sake. Strong candidates can synthesize disjointed signals into coherent stories, iterate quickly with stakeholders, and develop products that are comparable, defensible, and meaningful to executive audiences. This role follows a hybrid schedule, with at least three days per week in the office in Downtown Salt Lake City and regular collaboration on the University of Utah campus with colleagues, leaders, and clinical partners. What makes this role distinctive You will work on behalf of leadership on important, system-level questions rather than isolated local requests. You will operate in a newer and growing analytics center helping shape how enterprise insight is produced and used. You will work across domains, combining technical rigor with judgment, synthesis, and executive communication. Your work will be expected to help leaders align, choose, and act.
