Junior Data Scientist is a very rare title as Data Scientist is not at all an entry-level job. However, some organizations do offer internships or roles for junior Data Scientists. Here is a list of qualifications that a Bangalore-based company is expecting a Junior Scientist to have;

Education: MSc. in Statistics/Math or PhD in any stream

Experience: 0 to 2 years

Requirements:

  • Strong skills in Regression/Linear Analysis

  • Knowledge of Deep Learning, Generalized Linear Model, Distributed RF, Naive Bayes, K- Means clustering

  • Experience in designing algorithms on Hadoop ecosystem

  • Strong knowledge of recommendation systems

  • A strong passion for empirical research 

  • Excellent in written and verbal communication

Keep in mind that just becoming a Data Scientist requires years of practice on projects and programming. So, make sure to work on as many projects as you can to increase your experience in hands-on projects. That will give you the opportunity to showcase all that you have worked on when the time comes and give you a competitive edge.
