About IDA

The Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA) is a private, nonprofit corporation headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, just outside Washington, DC. IDA’s mission is to answer the most challenging U.S. security and science policy questions with objective analysis leveraging extraordinary scientific, technical, and analytic expertise. IDA operates three Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDC’s).

Why Work for IDA?

We are seeking a Research Associate to support projects in both the Science, Systems and Sustainment Division (S3D, as the home division) and Science and Technology Policy Institute (STPI, as the secondary division). Researchers within IDA are self-starting scientists and engineers who advise Department of War (DoW), Department of Homeland Security, White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), and other agency officials and selected audiences on challenges of national and global significance. We provide independent analytical products to help solve problems facing senior executives and military officials across the Federal government. IDA scientists and engineers offer our sponsors insight into technology trends and the impact of emerging advances by bringing rigor to technology readiness assessments, science and technology ecosystem characterization including workforce analysis, and independent perspectives on technology risks and mitigation strategies. The Research Associate will facilitate data-driven decision-making by conducting research using methods such as statistical analysis, natural language processing, literature review, computer code development, or modeling and simulation. Strong problem-solving skills are critical, and duties will also include report writing, developing visualizations of data and research results, presenting results, and other project-related tasks as directed by research staff. Projects may cross the full domain of science and technology; therefore, applicants should be willing to regularly learn new topics that concern national security and science and technology policy.

Primary Responsibilities

Provide qualitative and quantitative analytic support to government sponsors (e.g., analysis of scientific research developments and progress in areas of interest to defense sponsors, analysis of policy and program data, analysis of scientific and industrial capabilities relevant to sponsor interests).
Assist in the preparation of documents (e.g., briefings and reports on the design, conduct, and findings of data analyses, graphs that clearly present findings from analyses)
Identify and prepare useful data sources for analysis to address questions of sponsor interest.

What Will You Need?

We are seeking a highly analytical person who is able to both collaborate on cutting-edge research projects within S3D and STPI while also conducting independent research in support of S3D’s DoW and STPI’s OSTP and other agency sponsors.
An ideal candidate will enthusiastically and proactively develop new data sources and analytical methodologies to help address complex and challenging research questions in a fast-paced environment.
Bachelors or Masters degree in physical sciences, engineering, computer science, or related fields as well as demonstrated analytical skills and the ability to conduct independent research.
Expertise in topics related to natural language processing, autonomous systems, robotics, AI, S&T policy, or researcher networks will be viewed as a plus.
Experience in a research setting with natural language processing methods and related language-based machine learning or artificial intelligence tools is particularly desired.
Data analysis experience using Python, Matlab, R, or similar languages.
Ability to work within multidisciplinary teams.
Strong interpersonal and communication skills.
Some travel may be required.
Successful completion of a background check is required.
U.S. citizenship is required.

A culture of work-life balance, including flex time, partial telework, and limiting work communication to core business hours;
The opportunity to craft your own unique research portfolio of distinct value to the national security enterprise.
A brand-new facility located in Alexandria’s high-tech corridor in Potomac Yard; amenities include a gym, cafeteria and close proximity to local dining and shopping; and
Easy access to Potomac Yard Metro stop and Potomac Yard DASH bus stop. Employer contributes $340/month (IRS max) to commuter benefits.
