The Predictive Research Scientist - Scientific Data Steward ensures that this massive volume of technical, biological and clinical data is collected, standardized, and stored sustainably, qualitatively and securely on pre-approved platforms, in order to be used in advanced data modeling. This role serves as the central data architect for the R&D teams, bridging the gap between researchers, facilities and external R&D collaborators. By implementing robust data governance and establishing repeatable data ingestion pipelines, this role ensures that R&D scientific data raw data is turned into a coherent, documented and reusable data asset, to provide a clean and trustworthy foundation on which our data science work is built (using FAIR data principles: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable)., Data Governance, Integrity & Standardization - Data models & vocabularies: Design and deploy unified research data models, master data schemas, and metadata standards (using FAIR data principles: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) across Royal Canin R&D. - Clinical database architecture: Lead the configuration, testing, and lifecycle maintenance of clinical databases and Electronic Data Capture (EDC) schemes for external clinical studies, currently Prelude, as well as internal diet trial data using the Facilities designed tool (Monarch). - Database indexation: Create a thesaurus of all data available across R&D functions to enable faster search and future studies - Regulatory & patent readiness: Ensure all clinical trial data complies with international research guidelines (such as Good Clinical Practice - GCP, and Mars R&D guidelines) to support claims-substantiation dossiers and patent filings. - External Data Acquisition & Pipeline Engineering - Data Transfer Agreements: In collaboration with the Legal team, review and govern DTAs with external collaborators (laboratories, universities, etc.), defining the exact formats, schemes, and transmission timelines for external datasets. - Automated ingestion pipelines:Develop and maintain automated scripts to clean, validate, and ingest complex biological data streams (e.g., microbiome taxonomic tables, fecal metabolomic profiles) into cloud-based data warehouses. - Cross-Functional Support & Trial Enablement - Study design advisory: Partner with research scientists (Palatability, Food Processing, Healthy & Sick Pet Nutrition) during the trial design phase to establish data collection standards and case report forms, ensuring downstream analyses are seamlessly executed and easy re-use in future trials. - User training: Train and support researchers, clinical coordinators, and external partners on utilizing EDC systems, electronic lab notebooks, and standard data upload procedures. - Scientific Image & Continuous Improvement - Industry Benchmarking: Stay up to date on emerging technologies, database engines, and clinical data standard frameworks (such as CDISC schemas) to continuously modernize Royal Canin's R&D data infrastructure. ## Related Videos - [Beyond Gut Feelings: The Rise of Data-Driven HR](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1326-beyond-gut-feelings-the-rise-of-data-driven-hr) - [Kubernetes and Microservices with Multi-Model Databases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/382-kubernetes-and-microservices-with-multi-model-databases) - [Data Governance in the Era of AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1622-data-governance-in-the-era-of-ai) - [Data Science in Retail](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/586-data-science-in-retail) - [Designing How Work Feels: The Science Behind Sanofi’s Workplace Experience](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1848-designing-how-work-feels-the-science-behind-sanofi-s-workplace-experience) - [Bringing Clarity to Event Streams: Enabling Analytics and AI Through Rich Metadata](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1616-bringing-clarity-to-event-streams-enabling-analytics-and-ai-through-rich-metadata) ## Related Articles - [Data Analyst Salary in the UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/278-data-analyst-salary-in-the-uk) - [Best Companies to Work For in Paris: Top 25 Companies in 2023 ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/190-best-companies-to-work-for-in-paris-top-25-companies-in-2023) - [Best Companies to Work For in France: Top 25 Companies in 2023 ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/189-best-companies-to-work-for-in-france-top-25-companies-in-2023) - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [Data Analyst Salary Austria](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/275-data-analyst-salary-austria) - [Data Analyst Salary Germany](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/277-data-analyst-salary-germany)
