Social Science Statistical Analyst

This position requires an active U.S. Government Security Clearance at the TS/SCI level.

This opportunity supports USSOCOM J39 in advancing its Operations in the Information Environment (OIE) capabilities through integrated analytics, knowledge management, and strategic planning. The effort is focused on solving a critical operational gap: the absence of a centralized capability to effectively manage global information operations data, partner nation SOF knowledge, and trans-regional planning across multiple classification domains.

As an expansion of support to an established USSOCOM customer, this work enables improved synchronization of information operations, enhanced decision-making, and greater alignment across Combatant Commands, interagency partners, and allied networks. The program will deliver mission-critical insights and coordination mechanisms to strengthen influence operations and operational effectiveness in complex, globally distributed environments.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Active TS/SCI clearance
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Statistics, Data Science, Sociology, Psychology, or related field
• 5+ years of experience applying quantitative methods to social or behavioral data
• Proficiency in statistical tools (R, Python, SPSS, STATA)
• Experience designing and analyzing surveys, sentiment analysis, or influence metrics
• Ability to translate complex data into actionable insights for operational planners

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience supporting MISO, IO, or influence campaigns
• Familiarity with A/B testing, experimental design, and causal inference
• Experience working in fusion cells or ISR environments
• Knowledge of information environment analytics and narrative tracking
• Advanced degree (PhD preferred for senior roles)
