The IDA Center for Communications Research, La Jolla, invites applications to be a member of our research staff. For this search, we have a preference for individuals who already hold the security clearance that is required for the job. We anticipate that applicants to this position would start work in the first half of 2027. The Center is part of a non-profit corporation, and our working environment feels like a mathematics department at a leading research university, albeit without teaching duties, 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.
