The Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine (HJF) @ Naval Medical Center San Diego | Data Scientist/Software Engineer/Program Manager | San Diego | REMOTE, ONSITE, US Citizen | Full-time
We are teaching machines to diagnose cancer in a collaborative research and development environment. You will be a direct report to the project lead, developing a broad codebase (NLP, NNs, bioinformatics, digital archaeology). Typical candidates that make it past the first interview have a technical PhD or hard STEM masters. Linear algebra is a prerequisite. At least 3-4 years writing code strongly recommended.
Collaborators include commercial, DoD, and other government entities. Project is based in San Diego but designed to accommodate remote work from the ground up.
Culturally, you will be expected to reduce highly ambiguous problems for yourself and others, including asking for help, often in domains you haven’t dealt with before, e.g. clinical trials, legally binding privacy requirements, and highly invasive security and compliance. Finally, this is a small group inside a huge organization. Long term, global, strategic thinking, excellent teamwork, and exemplary personal conduct are essential.
On-site locations are teaching hospitals. You will ride the elevator with the patients you’re trying to help: active duty military, veterans, and their families.
