What are the responsibilities and job description for the CCR- L Research Staff Member (2023 Job Ad) position at Institute for Defense Analyses?

The IDA Center for Communications Research, La Jolla, invites applications to be a member of our research staff. We are part of a non-profit corporation, and our working environment feels like a mathematics department at a leading research university, albeit without any students, free of administrative burdens, and with a greater emphasis on collaborative research. The scientific scope is broad and varied; while we prove a lot of theorems, we also make high-performance implementations of mathematical algorithms and do practical machine learning and data analysis. Our staff is enthusiastic about collaboration, multidisciplinary teams, and combining theory and practice.

We are located in San Diego, California, which boasts one of the best climates in the US and many attractions including a wide array of outdoor recreation, renowned arts and culture, family-friendly activities, fine regional cuisine, and outstanding craft beverages.

The start date for this position is flexible, but we anticipate that a typical applicant will want to begin work in fall 2024. 

We support transparency, equity, and fairness in our compensation program and provide a reasonable estimate of the salary range based on data-driven market analysis for each position.  While it is not typical for an individual to be hired at or near the top of the range, a reasonable estimate of the salary range for this role is $105,897- $252,388.  Individual salary within this range will be commensurate with the incumbent’s experience and unique skills or qualifications.

Qualifications:

  • US citizenship is required. 
  • Employment is contingent on obtaining an appropriate security clearance (which we will sponsor).
