Analytic Methodologist
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) serves as the world leader in providing timely, relevant, accurate and actionable geospatial intelligence (GEOINT). NGA's civilian, military and contract personnel evaluate imagery, maps, charts, multiple layers of foundation data - such as terrain, elevation and gravity - and the full spectrum of visible and invisible light in order to help users visualize what is happening at a particular place and time. Our intelligence officers go beyond describing 'what, where and when' to revealing 'how and why.' Our work enables decision advantage for our policymakers, warfighters, intelligence professionals and first responders. Other duties may include:
Apply rigorous analytic methodologies and techniques (including, as appropriate, analytic aids such as structured analytic tools, modeling, and comparative analysis) to determine the credibility of collected intelligence, to gauge how the data relates to existing information, and to evaluate, integrate, analyze and interpret collected intelligence to assess the likelihood of events or outcomes and their significance and implications for customers. Generate ideas for, participate in the development of, and use new methods and techniques to conduct analysis to answer intelligence questions. Gain and apply knowledge of capabilities, limitations, and accesses of the intelligence disciplines, strengths and weaknesses of specific technical sensors/platforms, and human sources in area of responsibility. Knowledge of IC collection management processes, systems, and tools. Demonstrates knowledge of collection strategies, targeting, assessment and methodology, feedback, and validation/vetting processes. Apply knowledge of relevant customer organizations or operations (e.g., military, policy makers, and law enforcement), including how to translate requirements to provide appropriate output or response to meet customer needs. Analyze data and datasets to investigate trends or anomalies, establish relationships, or predict future patterns among events. Interprets the results of analyses to reach conclusions and develop recommendations. Utilize GIS techniques and applications to enhance analysis or produce and maintain GEOINT. Develop representations of systems, entities, or processes and evaluates performance of models under different conditions or over time. Identify and apply appropriate statistical methods, techniques, and tools to analyze and interpret data. Conveys data, information, and analytical conclusions using a variety of visual tools, techniques, and methods. Additional Application Requirement:
You may be asked to complete one or more assessments in addition to the application you submit on this website as part of your application to NGA. These assessments may include but are not limited to:
1) Online questionnaires or assessments that require you to describe your job-related knowledge, skills, abilities, or other characteristics that are aligned with the mandatory and desirable qualifications of this job posting. The information you provide in the application you submit must support the response you provide to this questionnaire. You will receive an email to describe any additional assessments required. Please monitor your emails and complete any required assessments as soon as possible. MANDATORY QUALIFICATION CRITERIA:
For this particular job, applicants must meet all competencies reflected under the Mandatory Qualification Criteria to include education (if required). Online resumes must demonstrate qualification by providing specific examples and associated results, in response to the announcement's mandatory criteria specified in this vacancy announcement:
1. Demonstrated ability with statistical modeling, experimental design, research design, sampling, clustering, data reduction, confidence intervals, testing modeling or predictive modeling. 2. Demonstrated experience applying knowledge of analytic tools to develop models, visualize data, and perform a range of analyses (e.g., systems analysis, comparative analysis). 3. Demonstrated knowledge of statistical analysis. 4. Demonstrated proficiency with visualization tools such as Tableau or a similar visualization tool. 5. Demonstrated experience with GIS and remote sensing tools such as ArcGIS/ArcPro, Boundless Desktop GIS . 6. Demonstrated proficiency with a programming language such as R, Python or similar programming language. EDUCATION REQUIREMENT:
A. Education:
Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university in Operations Research, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Geography, or at least 24 semester hours in a combination of Operations Research, Mathematics, Probability, Statistics, Mathematical Logic, Science, or subject-matter courses requiring substantial competence in college-level Mathematics or Statistics. At least 3 of the 24 semester hours must have been in coding, data analysis, or data science. -OR- B. Combination of Education and
Experience:
A minimum of 24 semester (36 quarter) hours of coursework in any area listed in option A, that included at least 24 semester hours in a combination of Operations Research, Mathematics, Probability, Statistics, Mathematical Logic, Science, or subject-matter course substantial competence in college-level mathematics or statistics. At least 3 of the 24 semester hours must have been in coding, data analysis, or data science plus experience that required development and application of quantitative and qualitative techniques to enhance intelligence analysis or a related field that demonstrates the ability to successfully perform the duties associated with this work. As a rule, every 30 semester (45 quarter) hours of coursework is equivalent to one year of experience. Candidates should show that their combination of education and experience totals 4 years.DESIRABLE QUALIFICATION CRITERIA:
In addition to the mandatory qualifications, experience in the following is desired:
1. Demonstrated ability to solve problems and reach data-supported conclusions using quantitative and qualitative analysis methods. 2. Demonstrated proficiency with data mining using a variety of tools such as ArcGIS, SPSS Statistics and/or programing languages such as R, Python. 3. Demonstrated ability to work a problem and identify patterns and relationships across a variety of data sets and communicate the technical data assessment to non-technical personnel. 4. Experience or familiarity with Geospatial Intelligence and/or intelligence processes, especially those in Geospatial intelligence organizations. 5. Demonstrated ability to deconstruct customer challenges and identify appropriate problem-solving techniques to address complex business operations or national security challenges. 6. Ability to work well within a team and build strategic relationships to achieve common goals.
Estimated Salary: $20 to $28 per hour based on qualifications.
