WITHDRAWN - 'Hands-Off' Career Tracks in Data Science (308459)

Keywords: career development, management, leadership

Most people in data science spend many years honing the statistical and computational skills needed to do research, analysis, and modeling. Many jobs in academia, industry, and government use these skills directly on a daily basis. But some career paths lead to jobs that involve little to no hands on data work. This panel will feature statisticians and data scientists in management, leadership, advocacy and advisory roles. What do these jobs look like? How are hard-earned technical skills still important? Where did technical training fall short? Why might you enjoy a job like this? How do you get there?

This session will include prepared content from the panelists as well as plenty of time for audience questions.
