We are looking for an individual with strong organizational skills and an aptitude for scientific research to help our clients manage multiple interdisciplinary scientific projects in the areas of health, policy, and disease control.

If you are a software developer or data scientist interested in applying your skills while also moving toward broader leadership roles, this is an excellent position for you. You will be able to turn your debugging skills toward processes instead of code, and you will have the opportunity to collaborate with researchers, data scientists, decision scientists, international senior scientists, and software engineers.

If you enjoy the satisfaction of working behind the scenes to help ensure a group meets its goals, this job is for you. You will help our clients move their projects to the finish line.

As the Scientific Projects Lead, you will be responsible to oversee specific scientific projects and activities related to Cornerstone’s clients in the academic/scientific markets. You will be the one ensuring our staff are in the right place to deliver the highest value possible to our clients. And, as client’s needs dictate, you’ll be the one actually delivering that value by using your skills in data science, software development, and data visualization to supplement our larger team’s efforts.

3. Two to five years of experience in software development, data visualization, scientific study design, project management, or a related field

4. Strong time management skills

6. Strong communication skills, in English, both verbal and written

7. Willingness to endure a rigorous set of interviews and assignments to determine capability and suitability

8. Must be a strong self-starter and able to work well independently with honesty and integrity

9. Must be eligible for US employment

10. Must pass US Government background check / security clearance
