Position Summary Odyssey Systems has an exciting new opportunity for a Research Associate supporting the WRAIR – Department of Diarrheal Disease Research (DDR).  Diarrheal diseases, notably  Shigella,  are a major source of morbidity among deployed U.S. military and a significant threat to readiness. To that end, BDB aims to develop a safe and effective vaccine against multiple  Shigella  strains to protect personnel overseas and keep Soldiers in the fight. This position is perfect for a recent college graduate who is interested in getting great training from a top notch team. Responsibilities Duties include, but not limited to:  Provide support in multiple areas of Enteric pathogen research. Conduct bench research on Shigella (or other enteric pathogens) subunit or live vaccine candidates. Perform or assist in routine molecular genetic techniques, including nucleic acid purification, restriction enzyme digestion,...

Position Summary Odyssey Systems has an exciting new opportunity for a Research Associate III supporting the Brain Trauma Neuroprotection Department at WRAIR.  The goals of this branch are to develop and transition knowledge and materiel solutions to improve survival and recovery from combat-related neurologic injury including mild, moderate, and severe traumaticA brain injury (TBI) across the spectrum of acute neurocritical care, long term recovery, chronic neurodegenerative sequela (e.g., CTE/Parkinson's), and spinal cord injury. Research is aimed at methods to diagnose the spectrum of TBI; including assays of circulating biomarkers, use of imaging and real-time electroencephalography (EEG) technologies, and performance of functional neurologic assessments. Additionally, research in this branch focuses on therapeutic approaches such as pharmacologic (novel druA and drug combinations) and cellular (stem and stromal cells) therapies, as well as the manipulation...

Responsibilities: NSA Research Scientists are actively expanding the boundaries of what can be accomplished with artificial intelligence, machine learning, human-machine teaming, software reverse engineering, data science, novel architectures, cyber security, high performance computing, and computational linguistics. Our experts generalize mission problems, advance the scientific state-of-the-art to solve problems, and work with other NSA organizations to get solutions in front of mission users and decision-makers. Our researchers also have the opportunity to collaborate regularly with the scientific community, academia, industry, and other government laboratories; publish papers on unclassified aspects of our work in scientific journals and at conferences; transfer NSA technology to the marketplace through open source software releases and public-private partnerships; serve as faculty members at local universities; and participate in university and K-12 STEM outreach activities...

Responsibilities: NSA is home to one of the largest and most established in-house research organizations within the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC), employing scientists with world-class skills in fields such as mathematics, physics, computer science, engineering, and cybersecurity. We collaborate with leading industries, universities, and national laboratories to advance core competencies, leverage work in overlapping disciplines, and solve some of the most challenging national security problems thought to be intractable by adversaries and commercial industry. NSA's Laboratory for Physical Sciences (LPS) attracts top technical talent who not only solve the nation's urgent intelligence problems, but also invent what hasn't been invented and concentrate on what will be needed five, ten, fifteen years down the road. Through its partnership with the University of Maryland (UMD), LPS offers a unique environment where university, industry, and federal government scientists...

Responsibilities: NSA's Mathematics Research Group conducts world-class mathematical research with the objective of developing new and innovative techniques and technologies to support our Signals Intelligence and Cybersecurity missions, as well as the broader Intelligence Community (IC). We are actively seeking mathematicians well-versed in the mathematical and statistical underpinnings of generative AI to join our Statistics and Machine Learning Research Office. The office focuses on fundamental mathematics research in the applications of machine learning and statistical analysis, as well as a wide range of other technical areas to include cryptography, machine learning security, generative AI, network defense, and graph algorithms. Responsibilities may include: - Analyze problems and determine procedures required to solve technical problems; - Create computer algorithms, data models, and protocols; - Identify new applications of known techniques; - Analyze data, algorithms,...
