Principal/Senior Data Scientist | Portugal

The Principal Data Scientist role combines scientific leadership with hands‑on research, integrating programming, statistical modeling, data visualization, and ecological interpretation. The role leads core data science initiatives, mentors and manages data analysts, oversees data sampling strategies, and ensures scientific rigor in methodologies and reporting. It focuses on understanding bird and bat interactions with wind farms and employs analytical techniques such as radar and camera monitoring, ESAS surveys, viewpoint observations, GIS‑based movement analysis, post‑mortality surveys, citizen science data, and stochastic collision risk modeling to assess and predict wildlife patterns across onshore and offshore projects. The position also advances bat research by developing models of bat activity and behavior to guide curtailment measures and inform mitigation strategies.
