[Jobs] S. Scott Collis Fellowship in Data Science
David Stracuzzi
The S. Scott Collis Fellowship in Data Science at Sandia National Laboratories seeks applicants with a demonstrated background and interest in the interdisciplinary domain of data science. Collis Fellows in Data Science work at the junction of cutting-edge data science techniques and Sandia’s national security mission and application space. Data science at Sandia emphasizes the analysis and interpretation of scientific, engineering, and observational (sensor) data, including development of scientific models, pattern identification, prediction, and knowledge extraction. Relevant analysis techniques range from artificial intelligence to advanced statistical methods, to optimization techniques, to methods designed for specialized hardware, and beyond. Examples of the scientific and engineering applications relevant to Sandia’s diverse missions include nuclear deterrence and nonproliferation, numerical modeling and scientific simulation , energy systems and power grid, cyber security, operations research, geospatial analysis, neuromorphic computing, quantum computing, and many other national security domains.
To be considered for this fellowship, applicants must have completed, or are pursuing, a Ph.D. in a data science related area, such as mathematics, computer science, statistics, or engineering, conferred within the past three years, or anticipated completion of Ph.D. requirements by commencement of appointment. Furthermore, applicants must have appropriate research experience in one or more areas of data science as evidenced by a strong record of research publications and presentations. In addition to these research qualifications, applicants should have no previous postdoctoral appointments at a national laboratory and must be eligible to acquire a DOE security clearance, which requires US Citizenship.
