POSITION DESCRIPTION

   *US citizenship required

Title:  Physical Scientist or Engineer
Level:  Junior Level (1-2yrs) or Mid-level (3-7yrs)

General Position Description:  Works on site at the ESM Branch (Code
5720) of the Tactical EW Division (Code 5700) of the Naval Research
Laboratory, DC site.  Incumbent will provide programming and analytic
services for electronic warfare projects supported by Code 5720.

Immediate Tasking:  Incumbent will support an advanced research project
in the area of artificial intelligence applied to electronic warfare.
The supported AI research effort is distributed reasoning under
uncertainty using the Dempster-Shafer (DS) Theory of Mathematical
Evidence.  In support of this effort it may be necessary to learn
SmallTalk, an object-oriented language, to analyze existing software.
If incumbent is not familiar with C/C++, it will be necessary to become
familiar with it.  An opportunity will be provided to learn these
languages and any others needed in the performance of the immediate
tasking.  Incumbent will be supported by an external subject matter
expert in DS theory.  These efforts are designed to resolve emitter
identification ambiguity which is wide spread in certain regions of the
electromagnetic spectrum and a significant hindrance to accurate ESM
system operation.  THIS POSITION IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME
THE RESIDENT EXPERT IN DS THEORY.  SEVERAL UPCOMING
PROJECTS ARE LIKELY TO USE THIS TECHNOLOGY.

Minimum Qualifications:  Minimum B.S. in a physical science or
engineering discipline which requires extensive mathematical and
physical theory knowledge.  An interest in logic and advanced forms of
machine reasoning, especially under uncertainty.  Experience not
essential, but a willingness to learn is.  Programming knowledge is
important, but not critical; languages such as Fortran, Visual Basic,
and C/C++ are satisfactory. Elementary statistical knowledge is
necessary.  Current SECRET level clearance required.

Desirable Qualifications: An advanced degree in physical science or
engineering discipline which requires extensive mathematical and
physical theory knowledge.  Experience with logic and advanced forms of
machine reasoning, especially under uncertainty.  A history of
experience (> 1 yr) of programming in the Windows, Windows 95/98, and/or

Windows NT environments.  Knowledge of advanced statistical analysis
techniques.  Experience with programming in C/C++; experience with
SmallTalk.  Education, experience, or interest in machine learning,
intelligent agent creation, evolutionary computing, automated sensor
analysis, data mining, artificial intelligence, fuzzy sets and fuzzy
logic, expert systems, or neural networks (either artificial or
biologically-inspired).
