About the role

Mission1 is seeking an applied behavioral scientist to translate research into practical measurement methods, product requirements, and user guidance. The role focuses on non-invasive assessment, nonverbal sensing, kinesics, and interview dynamics. The candidate will design studies, develop data plans, and establish validation criteria while collaborating with leadership and technical teams to improve human performance and evaluator workflows.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
