We are actively seeking talented individuals to join our team for this groundbreaking initiative, which is set to span over the next five years. The project is based in Fort Meade, MD, where you will have the chance to contribute to solving global challenges by transforming complex data sets into actionable information.

As part of this exciting endeavor, you will be at the forefront of developing cutting-edge analytics solutions, knowledge management artifacts, information sharing tools, data transformation techniques, and malware analysis capabilities. These focus areas will play a vital role in advancing our understanding of the ever-evolving threat landscape and enabling us to proactively address emerging challenges.

Job Duties and Responsibilities:

  • Employ some combination (2 or more) of the following areas:
    1. Foundations (Mathematical, Computational, Statistical)
    2. Data Processing (Data management and curation, data description and visualization, workflow and reproducibility)
    3. Modeling, Inference, and Prediction (Data modeling and assessment, domain-specific considerations)
  • Devise strategies for extracting meaning and value from large datasets.
  • Through analytic modeling, statistical analysis, programming (coding), and/or another appropriate scientific method, develop and implement qualitative and quantitative methods for characterizing, exploring, and assessing large datasets in various states of organization, cleanliness, and structure that account for the unique features and limitations inherent to key intelligence community data holdings.
  • Translate practical mission needs and analytic questions related to large datasets into technical requirements and, conversely, assist others with drawing appropriate conclusions from the analysis of such data.
  • Work with current project teams to support ongoing intelligence focused projects.
  • Develop/code/program software to support ongoing project work with minimal supervision.
  • Make and communicate principled conclusions from data using elements of mathematics, statistics, computer science, and application specific knowledge.
  • Be able to ask questions and communicate issues and problems clearly to peers and management.                
  • Effectively communicate complex technical information to non-technical audiences.
  • Can work with others easily and effectively.
  • Make informed recommendations regarding competing technical solutions by maintaining awareness of the constantly shifting intelligence community collection, processing, storage and analytic capabilities and limitations.
