  • Assist senior analysts with statistical modeling, machine learning, trend analysis, and performance measurement.

  • Translate complex datasets into clear summaries for non-technical stakeholders.

  • Document data sources, business rules, transformation logic, assumptions, and analytical methods.

  • Support recurring weekly, monthly, quarterly, and ad hoc reporting requirements.

  • Review model outputs and error patterns to recommend improvements to analytical workflows.

  • Collaborate with senior data scientists, program analysts, project managers, and government stakeholders.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Data Science, Statistics, Computer Science, Mathematics, Information Systems, Neuroscience, Public Health Analytics, or a related quantitative field.

  • 1–3 years of data science, data analytics, research analytics, BI, or machine learning project experience.

  • Hands-on Python experience using pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, matplotlib, spaCy, Keras, or similar libraries.

  • R experience using tidyverse, tidymodels, ggplot2, Shiny, or equivalent packages.

  • SQL experience for querying, joining, filtering, and preparing datasets.

  • Tableau, Power BI, R Shiny, or similar dashboard/data visualization experience.

  • Experience with machine learning classification, NLP, model evaluation, or predictive analytics.

  • Ability to inspect model errors, validate outputs, and communicate improvement opportunities.

  • Strong Excel and Microsoft Office skills.

  • Ability to explain technical findings to non-technical stakeholders.

  • U.S. citizenship and ability to obtain required federal suitability/clearance.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Active Secret clearance or prior federal suitability.

  • Experience with federal, public sector, law enforcement, financial, healthcare, biomedical, or large statistical datasets.

  • Experience supporting performance metrics, KPI reporting, operational reporting, or program evaluation.

  • Experience building client-facing dashboards or interactive data applications.

  • Experience with BERT, NLP, unstructured text, topic segmentation, or terminology data.

  • Familiarity with data governance, data privacy, PII handling, CUI, or secure data environments.

  • AWS, Git, Jupyter Notebook, or cloud analytics exposure.

Tools / Technologies

Python, R, SQL, Tableau, Excel, Jupyter Notebook, Git, AWS, pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, spaCy, Keras, tidyverse, tidymodels, ggplot2, Shiny, NLP, BERT, dashboards, data visualization, statistical modeling.
