Data Science Contractor/Intern (Conversion to Full-Time Possible)

About MedLink Global

MedLink Global, Inc. is a Berkeley SkyDeck–incubated, venture-backed startup on a mission to pioneer precision mental healthcare. Our flagship solution, MaiNDS, is an AI-powered, comprehensive psychopathology assessment already in use in U.S. clinics.

We are now building an AI treatment co-pilot tool (called Mentra) in partnership with Mayo Clinic, leveraging multi-million–patient longitudinal datasets to optimize psychiatric treatment decisions with consideration of comorbidities. This internship will put you at the heart of one of the most ambitious AI+mental health projects in the world.

Role Overview

We’re seeking a Data Science Specialist/Engineer who is eager to apply machine learning and data analytics to solve real-world problems in mental health. This role is designed as a pathway to a full-time role for the right candidate.

As part of our core AI team, you will:

● Work closely with senior AI/ML scientists to analyze multimodal data (structured and

unstructured) to build treatment prediction models.

● Implement, train, debug, and evaluate models rigorously to demonstrate scientific validity and drive progress in mental health problems.

● Collaborate with top clinicians and product leaders to translate complex datasets into

actionable insights.

● Share research findings internally and contribute to the scientific community via publications in top-tier venues.

Key Responsibilities

● Analyze large-scale, longitudinal healthcare datasets.

● Build and refine predictive models for psychiatric treatment outcomes.

● Design and test features for the Mentra AI treatment co-pilot.

● Support data pipeline development, cleaning, and feature engineering.

● Present findings and prototypes to cross-functional teams (AI, product, clinical).

Qualifications

Required:

● Strong Python skills (NumPy, pandas, scikit-learn, PyTorch/TensorFlow).

● Experience with SQL and working with structured datasets.

● Background in machine learning, statistics, or applied mathematics.

● Proficiency with cloud computing platforms (e.g., GCP) for large-scale training.

● Interest in healthcare/mental health applications.

Preferred:

● Graduate-level (MS/PhD) in Data Science, Computer Science, Statistics, Bioinformatics, or related field.

● Prior exposure to healthcare or life sciences data.

● Experience in deep learning, NLP, or time-series analysis.

Why Join Us?

● Be part of a mission-driven team tackling the global mental health crisis.

● Work with world-class psychiatrists, AI scientists, and Mayo Clinic collaborators.

● Opportunity to transition into a long-term full-time role.

● Shape the future of precision psychiatry with cutting-edge AI.
