Headquartered at Carnegie Mellon University, the Delphi research group was founded in 2012 to advance the theory and practice of epidemic forecasting. Our long-term mission is to make epidemic forecasting as widely accepted and useful as weather forecasting is today.
Delphi is in a critical growth phase. Pre-pandemic our focus was seasonal influenza; during the critical phase of the pandemic, we shifted our focus to COVID-19. Our signals are used regularly by public health officials, government agencies, data journalists, healthcare companies, financial firms, and fellow modelers. We are a CDC-designated Center of Excellence (one of two nationally) as well as a Center of innovation (one of five nationally), and work closely with CDC COVID, forecasting, and flu teams. We now are setting our sights beyond COVID and influenza, developing the technology and building the infrastructure needed for tracking and forecasting any fast-moving epidemic that presents a significant burden to public health.
As a crucial part of that mission, Delphi's data pipelines run daily to produce the nation's largest repository of diverse, geographically-detailed, real-time indicators of infectious disease activity in the U.S. Public health data systems are, at core, made out of people, and the errors that are normal, human, and rare at the individual facility level can rapidly accumulate at the national level to create frequent outages.
We seek an addition to our data pipeline operations team who can leverage their skills in systems administration, programming, and data science to prevent, identify, diagnose, and rectify problems or outages that occur in our data processing pipelines.
