Description of Task to be Performed:
AnaVation is seeking a Data Scientist to support one of our cybersecurity programs in our National Capital Region office. The Data Scientist will develop and apply advanced data science capabilities to improve intelligence integration, data discoverability, and mission analytics in support of cyberspace mission requirements. The position will leverage statistical analysis, predictive modeling, entity resolution, graph analytics, explainable super intelligence (XSI), and operational analytics to extract actionable insights from complex, multi-source datasets across the Customer’s Enterprise.
The successful candidate will lead complex analytical efforts, develop and evaluate advanced algorithms and machine learning models, and collaborate with mission partners, software developers, data engineers, and technical leadership to translate mission requirements into scalable analytical solutions. The candidate will identify data integration and analytic capability gaps, improve data interoperability and discoverability, and deliver validated models, analytical applications, and decision-support products that enhance intelligence analysis and operational effectiveness.
Responsibilities include:
- Lead data science initiatives addressing complex intelligence integration, data exploitation, and cyberspace
mission analytics requirements. - Apply advanced statistical analysis, predictive modeling, entity resolution, graph analytics, explainable SI, and
operational analytics to identify patterns, relationships, anomalies, and trends across complex datasets. - Develop, evaluate, and refine algorithms, machine learning models, analytical methods, and prototypes to
address mission-specific intelligence and operational problems. - Analyze structured and unstructured data from multiple sources to assess data quality, relevance, utility, and
suitability for specific analytical and mission requirements. - Design and implement data processing, transformation, parsing, tagging, and interconnection methods that
improve data usability, interoperability, and analytic readiness across heterogeneous data environments. - Develop data triage methodologies and analytical workflows that optimize data prioritization, normalization,
