is a young and dynamic company based in Dayton, OH, conducting research at the intersection of human and machine cognition.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; color: rgb(33, 33, 33);"> </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; color: rgb(66, 66, 66);">We
currently have an opening for a full-time <b>Cognitive Data Scientist</b> to help execute and grow our expanding portfolio of government-sponsored research in the human sciences. The Cognitive Data Scientist will play a major role in supporting our human performance
data modeling and data analytics efforts with the Air Force Research Laboratory, as well as other projects that involve extracting insights from a wide variety of physiological and cognitive datasets (ranging from wearable sensors data to cognitive and behavioral
performance data).</span></p>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; color: rgb(66, 66, 66);">The ideal candidate is a highly creative, self-motivated individual who possesses a deep understanding of leading-edge techniques in data science, statistical modeling,
and/or machine learning.<i> Candidates who have experience working with hidden Markov models (HMMs) – in particular, experience using HMMs to model a user’s cognitive state (e.g., workload, fatigue, stress, attention) – are especially of interest.</i> The
candidate should also possess a strong publication record and a willingness and ability to seek independent research funding. Additionally, because Kairos is a small company with a highly collaborative work culture, we especially seek candidates who are outgoing
and enjoy interacting with their colleagues and with our government sponsors.</span></p>

and tracking of influence narratives on social media. In addition to the Air Force, our current and past sponsors include organizations such as DARPA, IARPA, the Office of Naval Research, the Army SBIR Program, the National Institutes of Health, and Special
Operations Command. [Note that prior experience working on projects funded by the Department of Defense (DoD) and/or related to national security is a strong plus but is not required for this position.]</span></p>
