OCAC is hiring a Data Scientist for Odisha's state analytics cell — a direct, interview-based opportunity in Bhubaneswar where you'll work on government-level data initiatives. As a mid-level data scientist in this government role, you'll join a team focused on state-wide analytics, combining statistical rigor with Python programming. This is a 2-year contract position ideal for experienced data professionals looking to contribute to public-sector analytics in India.
You'll need an M.Tech or M.Sc in Statistics (or equivalent) plus 3+ years of professional data science or analytics experience. This mid-level data scientist role suits experienced professionals ready to apply statistical modeling and Python skills in a public-sector context. If you're a junior candidate with strong statistics fundamentals, you may still apply — emphasize your strongest quantitative project work.

For context, data scientists with 3+ years in the Indian job market typically earn ₹60,000–₹1,20,000/month depending on sector and city; government roles often value stability and mission alignment over peak private-sector salaries.
