Parsons is seeking a Spatial Data Scientist to support spatial and spatio-temporal statistical analysis of AOEA area-of-responsibility mission issues and to develop and implement statistical methods for incorporating multiple datasets. The role develops strategies for exposing new datasets and migration plans for legacy datasets, enabling deeper analysis of trends over time, broader data usability across the Intelligence Community (IC), and improved access to data holdings. The position also develops and documents data discovery, modeling, and production processes that adhere to enterprise architecture standards, and enables data for analysis, visualization, and modeling to address mission-specific intelligence issues. The Spatial Data Scientist works with stakeholders to provide data and strategies that meet AOEA requirements, applies spatial analytics and data mining to varied data sources, and maintains databases and data flows across applications and NGA domains. The role also supports data quality and lifecycle management, identifies emerging technologies, and works with government-provided capabilities in accordance with administrative policies and procedures. An active TS/SCI clearance with CI polygraph is required.
