PREP Research Associate This position is part of the National Institute of Standards (NIST) Professional Research Experience (PREP) program. NIST recognizes that its research staff may wish to collaborate with researchers at academic institutions on specific projects of mutual interest, thus requires that such institutions must be the recipient of a PREP award. The PREP program requires staff from a wide range of backgrounds to work on scientific research in many areas. Employees in this position will perform technical work that underpins the scientific research of the collaboration. The position is for a graduate student level researcher or recent PhD graduate experienced in and interested in applied data science to work jointly with mathematicians and experimentalists at NIST to study forensic chemometrics and uncertainty quantification in identification and classification in mass spectrometry. A goal of this work is to develop improved classification and identification algorithms in analytical chemistry and incorporate uncertainty quantification into models to provide useful information. The position will be highly interdisciplinary requiring regular communication between mathematicians working on modelling these devices and with experimentalists taking measurements and producing data. The work will entail: Key responsibilities will include but are not limited to: - Implementing optimized calculations to study AI classification algorithms. - Assessing uncertainty in classification of experimental data. - Computationally testing mathematical models relating uncertainty quantification. - Significant software development (most likely python) - Disseminating results through posters/seminars at meetings and seminars - Ensuring that all results, findings, data, software...etc. have been correctly archived and transmitted through appropriate channels - Either completed master's degree or PhD in data science or related field. - Minimum of 1 year of experience conducting data science research - Significant course work in mathematics, statistics and/or computer science - Knowledge of or interest in acquiring knowledge of chemistry and chemometrics methods - Familiarity with larger computational and AI/ML software packages - Ability to program in a modern computational language (e.g. python) Salary: $40,000-$50,000 a year Please upload the following with your application: - CV/Resume *Please limit C.V to 3 pages only and ONLY include a valid email address for your contact info.
