Cryptologic Computer Scientist 3

Job Description: We are searching for a Cryptologic Computer Scientist to design, develop, deliver, and operate solutions to hard cryptologic computer science problems within a scientific framework. You will create solutions derived from forensics and attack attribution, facilitate protection of critical networks and active systems, and conduct knowledge discovery of passive and active systems, or other cryptologic computer science mission support. The right candidate will apply requisite computer science skills (operating systems, compiler theory, databased theory, algorithm analysis, computer architecture, discrete math, programming language theory, and data structure) to each problem to provide state-of -the-art techniques, tools, and approaches. TheCryptologic Computer Scientist 3shall possess the following capabilities: Design, develop, deliver, and operate solutions to hard cryptologic computer science problems within a scientific framework. The solutions may arise in the forms of forensics and attack attribution, protection of critical networks, active systems warnings and indicators, active penetration into target systems, knowledge discovery of passive and active systems, or other cryptologic computer science mission support. Requisite computer science skills (operating systems, compiler theory, database theory, algorithm analysis, computer architecture, discrete math, programming language theory, and data structures are applied to each problem to provide state-of-the-art techniques, tools, and approaches.

Qualifications: Level 3: Associate’s degree with 10 years of relevant experience or Bachelor’s degree with 8 years of relevant experience or Master’s degree with 6 years of relevant experience or Doctoral degree with 4 years of relevant experience. All Levels: Degree must be in Computer Science (CS). Related fields (e.g., Engineering, Mathematics) may be considered relevant if the program contains, at minimum, a concentration of courses in the following fundamental CS areas: algorthms; computer architecture (not network architecture); programming methodologies and languages; data structures; logic and computation; and advanced mathematics (for example, calculus, discrete mathematics). Information Technology (IT) or Information Systems (IS) degrees may be considered relevant if the programs contain the amount and type of coursework equivalent to a CS major. Relevant experience must be in computer systems research; simulation/model development and prototyping; software design’ programming; computational science; algorithm analysis and design; reverse engineering; and/or designing/developing computer or information systems, including engineering hardware and/or software. Position requires active Security Clearance with appropriate Polygraph
