SOSi is currently seeking an experienced Analytic Methodologist to join our team and support our government customer in Washington DC.

**This position is contingent upon contract award**

• Supports the development of analytic strategies to resolve key intelligence questions of mission-driven requirements. Works with ambiguous information, deconstructs key questions, suggests methodologies, develops data schema to structured observations, and supports visualization of applicable data. Identifies and evaluates a wide range of existing methods, models, and algorithms to develop more accurate, complete, objective, and anticipatory analysis for intelligence production. Identifies, retrieves, manipulates, relates, and / or exploits structured data sets from all available sources. Uses scripts, visual analytic modeling tools, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for repeatable, widely applicable procedures. Combines empirical or quantitative methods with data analysis for intelligence production of complex and data-driven assessments. Evaluates the capabilities and limitations of analytic methodologies.
