The Australian Medical Council (AMC) is the national standards and assessment body for medical education and training. Our work helps ensure the standards of education, training and assessment of the medical profession promote and protect the health of the Australian community.
The AMC aims for a diverse workforce, so that we reflect the Australian community we serve. We believe that diversity improves ideas and results in better outcomes. Our employment policies reflect our commitment to diversity and inclusion. The AMC works closely with Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander and Māori stakeholders and is committed to ensuring a working environment that is inclusive and culturally safe at all times. All staff are required to participate in ongoing cultural safety training.
Your culture, lived experience, knowledge and connection to community are strengths that can help shape the future of health in Australia. We strongly encourage Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people to apply, bring their unique perspectives to the AMC and be part of creating meaningful change.
Join the Australian Medical Council (AMC) in a role where data, research and emerging technology come together to help improve the quality, fairness and effectiveness of medical assessment.
As our Data Scientist, you’ll apply advanced analytical methods, statistical reasoning and emerging technologies to complex organisational and assessment challenges. Working alongside our Psychometrician, assessment teams, Indigenous Policy and Programs, ICT specialists and other subject matter experts, you’ll turn data into meaningful insights and practical solutions.
You’ll also have opportunities to explore innovative applications of artificial intelligence, machine learning and large language models (LLMs), while ensuring analytical approaches are robust, responsible and appropriately validated.
Experience in educational assessment, psychometrics, medical education or health-professions regulation would be highly regarded. Experience with R, Python, SQL, automated reporting, dashboards, simulation, optimisation or computational research would also be advantageous.
