Description
Description
Leidos Innovations Center is looking for a Principal Research Scientist in Natural Language Processing (NLP) who has a proven track record in developing technology-based approaches that yield novel, innovative capabilities while advancing the state of the art.
Primary Responsibilities
The principal research scientist will serve in the role of principal investigator on contract R&D and internal R&D programs, engaging R&D customers and transition partners to develop new business opportunities and leading teams of researchers and engineers in the development, adaptation, and extension of innovative approaches and solutions in NLP research across a range of technical areas and application domains, for diverse and often disparate types of data and complexity, and for projects that are inherently both fundamental and applied in nature.
The innovative technical solutions will advance the state of the art while addressing long-term problems of importance to national security. As such, candidates should have successful, proven, and demonstrable experience leading proposals and winning competitive research and development efforts, and then leading high-performing teams in the development and integration of software-based solutions for customers such as DARPA and other branches of the Department of Defense.
The Principal NLP Research Scientist will also have a hands-on roll and is expected to customize and create various machine learning algorithms to operate over multi-domain data and optimizing the performance of those algorithms on the data. They will develop automation to extract and prepare features from multi-domain datasets. They will adapt NLP libraries/toolkits that include transformer models like BERT and ChatGPT, as well as Stanford CoreNLP, Spacy, NLTK, Word2Vec, and Gensim.
