Position Summary Leads highly complex work related to researching, developing
and applying fundamental mathematics, mathematical or statistical theory to
collect, organize, interpret and summarize numerical data to provide usable
information, solve or direct solutions to  a wide range of problems. Supports
senior technical personnel and project managers in the planning and execution
of complex and advanced technical activities for system and technical product
development. Typically supports multiple project activities and may support
multiple programs within the organization. Provides technical guidance and
mentoring to lower level technical staff. Recognized within Alion as a senior
level contributor in the field, and may have begun to acquire a similar
reputation in the external communities. Duties and Responsibilities Applies
advanced mathematical theories and statistical methods to support multiple
project teams in the development of solutions to practical problems. Exercises
independent judgment in conducting complex analyses and development efforts,
and provides technical direction to other staff in interpreting statistical
data in order to identify significant differences in relationships among
sources of information. Performs computations, applies methods of numerical
analysis and sampling techniques or utilizes complete enumeration bases to
data. Develops and/or reviews mathematical or statistical models of phenomena
to be used for analysis or computational simulation. Assembles sets of
assumptions, explores the consequences of each set and addresses the
relationships of quantities, magnitudes, and forms through the use of numbers
and symbols. Designs highly complex research projects that apply valid
scientific techniques and utilize information obtained from baselines or
historical data in order to structure analyses to determine limitations in
terms of reliability or usability and any factors that could affect the
results. Plans data collection for projects and determines the types/sizes of
sample groups to use. Develops and tests experimental designs, sampling
techniques, and analytical methods. Ensures the preparation of data for
processing by organizing information, checking for inaccuracies and adjusting
and weighting the raw data. Processes large amounts of data for statistical
modeling and graphic analysis. Prepares or coordinates the reporting of
results of statistical analyses in the form of graphs, charts, and tables.
Provides guidance to less experienced Mathematicians. Education and Experience
Bachelor¿s degree in Mathematics, Statistics or in area of specialty plus 8 to
10 years relevant work experience.  Master¿s degree preferred. In some cases,
educational requirements may be adjusted or waived for more than 15 years
applicable work experience. Work experience may be adjusted for highly
specialized knowledge or uniquely applicable experience for positions
involving new technology or labor market shortages as reflected by market
survey data. Knowledge, Skills and Experience Strong analytical skills and
attention to detail. Excellent communication, presentation and interpersonal
skills. Proficient in Microsoft Office including Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
JITC & ATEC experience preferred. Applicant must hold at least a secret
clearance and be eligible to obtain a TS clearance after employment.

Women, minorities, individuals with disabilities and veterans are encouraged
to apply.
