This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic computer scientist with strong coding skills to work on cutting-edge intelligent systems research applied to real operational problems. You will develop and use ideas from a number of fields including probabilistic modeling, machine learning, programming languages, information fusion, decision-making, databases, and graph theory. You will also develop prototype systems that will apply advanced techniques to address specific needs. You will work in small project-oriented groups with a principal investigator/scientist and a senior software engineer. You will also have the opportunity to attend conferences and have your work published. Sample projects:
* Using probabilistic reasoning techniques to improve tracking, association, and classification in multi-sensor fusion systems * Applying structured decision-making concepts to advance the autonomy capabilities of satellites * Developing and applying statistical relational models to assess the performance and quality of cyber-security systems Major Responsibilities/Activities: * Apply information fusion, machine learning and probabilistic modeling techniques to problems, and, where relevant, develop new techniques * Envision new research ideas, write proposals based on your ideas, carry out the research, and document progress * Design and implement a variety of AI algorithms and end-user interfaces, primarily in Java or Scala * Design and implement research prototype software in Java or Scala, including a variety of algorithms and end-user interfaces * Communicate effectively with supervisor and other team members Requirements: * Bachelors' degree with at least one year of experience, Masters, or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, or related area, with an emphasis on some discipline of artificial intelligence or information fusion * Strong understanding of machine learning, probabilistic modeling, and information fusion, and its application and implementation in real problems * Familiarity with programming languages, cyber security, statistical relational learning, or multi-sensor fusion will be considered a plus * Proficiency in an object-oriented language and a solid background in designing, programming, and documenting complex software systems * Experience and proficiency in Scala will be considered a strong plus * Ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly and effectively in both oral and written form * Ability to work independently or within a team environment * Code and writing samples may be requested * U.S. Citizenship; the selected candidate will need to possess or obtain a U.S. Government Security Clearance For more details and to apply, visit our website at www.cra.com<http://www.cra.com>, or contact Brian Ruttenberg at bruttenb...@cra.com<mailto:bruttenb...@cra.com>. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Brian Ruttenberg, PhD Senior Scientist Decision Management Systems Division Government Services Charles River Analytics Inc. 617.491.3474 x730 www.cra.com<http://www.cra.com/>
