Remote Flexible Data Scientist Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Data Scientist
Remote | U.S. Citizenship Required | Security Clearance Eligibility Required | Part Time

Why This Role Exists
The work we do has real impact, and the people behind it matter just as much.

D amp;G is seeking Data Scientist to develop statistically defensible representations of logistics-network behavior for modeling, simulation, and decision support. This role characterizes variability and uncertainty, fits probability distributions for key network variables, develops statistical or predictive models where they add value, and evaluates simulation outputs. Working with Operations Research Analysts and technical SMEs, the Data Scientist converts observed data into defensible assumptions and clearly communicates confidence, uncertainty, and limitations. The role focuses on statistical analysis rather than data pipelines, database architecture, or simulation software infrastructure.

What You Will Do

• Perform exploratory data analysis to characterize distributions, variability, correlations, outliers, missingness, seasonality, and other patterns in logistics and operational data.
• Fit and validate probability distributions for key network variables and quantify uncertainty using statistical methods, sensitivity analysis, resampling, and Monte Carlo techniques.
• Develop and evaluate statistical and predictive models, including classification, clustering, and anomaly detection, to improve understanding of logistics-system behavior and support mission decisions.
• Assess data sufficiency, model assumptions, performance, and uncertainty to distinguish meaningful signals from noise and identify additional data needs.
• Partner with Operations Research Analysts to translate empirical findings and probability distributions into defensible stochastic inputs, parameters, and assumptions for modeling and simulation.
• Analyze simulation outputs for variability, confidence, convergence, sensitivity, and statistical significance, collaborating with Data Engineers, Database Architects, and Logistics SMEs to validate analytical fitness.
• Translate results into decision-ready visualizations and findings, and document methods, assumptions, code, diagnostics, limitations, and data provenance to support reproducibility and government delivery.

What We Are Looking For

Required

• Bachelor's degree from an accredited university in Data Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Operations Research, Computer Science, Engineering, Economics, or a related quantitative field.
• 8+ years of experience applying statistics, probability, data science, or predictive analytics to complex operational or mission problems.
• Strong foundation in probability distributions, statistical inference, hypothesis testing, regression, uncertainty quantification, and model validation.
• Proficiency in Python and SQL, including practical use of common scientific and statistical analysis libraries.
• Demonstrated experience performing exploratory analysis, fitting distributions, evaluating statistical models, Monte Carlo techniques, and communicating analytical findings to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Experience working with modeling and simulation, operations research, logistics analytics, or other stochastic analytical environments.

Preferred

• Master's degree or Ph.D. in Statistics, Data Science, Operations Research, Applied Mathematics, Engineering, or a related quantitative field.
• Experience with Bayesian analysis, survival/reliability analysis, time-series analysis, or other techniques relevant to logistics-network uncertainty.
• Experience supporting Federal Government or Department of War modeling, simulation, analytics, or decision-support programs using logistics, transportation, aviation, cargo, UAS, operational-energy, or other mission-performance data.

Location

• Remote
• 10% Travel to client site in Washington, D.C. as needed.

Clearance and Eligibility

• Must be a U.S. citizen and able to attain a security clearance.

• This role is restricted to U.S. person(s) (U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and other protected individuals under 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3)).
