Job description

Dynamis is seeking a Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Defense Data Scientist supporting the Air Force Headquarters, Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD) Division, Operational Analysis Branch, on behalf of Air Force Installation Management Support Center (AFIMSC) and United States Air Force Europe-Air Force Africa (USAFE-AFAFRICA).

Work will be performed onsite at the Pentagon or Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling.

Responsibilities:

• Serve as a CWMD (and nuclear effects when required) modeler to model complex systems which include CBRN agent effects and attributes in different situations (i.e., varying weather, release mechanisms and parameters) overlaid over differing major combat operations (MCO) related operational environments.
  
• Extracting data from CBRN-related modeling programs through post processing utilities to provide analysts user-friendly data tables and graphics to depict complexities such as toxicity effects over time, degradation of agent strength, and contaminated area coverage as a function of time.
  
• Develop and use batch programs that enable AF/A10SA to complete thousands of CBRN-related hazard runs (HPAC, VLSTRACK, HOTSPOT, etc.) without having to execute each run on a one-by-one basis.
  
• Use computer modeling to support technical analysis to address questions that arise in the CWMD operations (non-proliferation, targeting, interdiction, strike, counter-air/space actions) arena of USAFE-AFAFRICA ability to survive and operate (ATSO), and CBRN defense technical domains.
  
• Use computer modeling to support technical research and operational evaluations to assess, interpret, shape, and help advise AF HQ, on behalf of AFIMSC and USAFE-AFAFRICA, regarding what operational and scientific testing results mean to operators (e.g., pilot, navigator, aircrew, loadmasters, maintainers, defenders).
  

Requirements:

• Minimum of bachelor’s and fourteen years of related experience, Masters and twelve years related experience, or doctorate and nine years related experience
• ACTIVE Secret with ability to obtain TS with eligibility
• Subject matter expert in computer programming for MCO-related modeling of CBRN materials (HPAC, VLSTRACK, HOTSPOT, etc.) and analyzing complex systems (Python, C++, Visual Basic, etc.).
• Specialized expertise in providing modeling support for technical analysis of CBRN threats. Excellent oral and written communication skills
• Proficiency with MS Office products. Ability to work from alternate, off-site locations as required.

Preferred:

• Active TS with SCI eligibility preferred
• History of incorporating results of lab or field analysis of CBRN-related tests into modeling programs to support CBRN-related studies.
• History of developing unique tools to assist analysts interpret and utilize raw data within analytical projects.
• History of the manipulation of raw observational data and presenting an informed product. History of understanding observational data from various sources.

Salary range: $110,000-190,000

The salary range for this position represents the anticipated hiring range. Actual compensation will be determined based on factors such as relevant experience, skills, education, certifications, and potential contract funding.
