We are growing and looking for new staff members to join the Gryphon team.

As a statistician, you will be responsible for serving as a team member on the technical team working on analytical and modeling tasks under the guidance of senior staff. The tasks will be on long- and short-term projects related to public health and safety, homeland security, international engagement, and emerging infectious disease. Projects incorporate a variety of approaches—from statistical inference and computational modeling to survey design and qualitative policy evaluation —to guide decision making by leaders in emergency preparedness and response, healthcare and biomedical science, and biosecurity and defense. Gryphon Scientific offers statisticians the opportunity to use critical thinking, creative problem solving, and advanced statistical techniques to tackle challenging projects in a wide range of exciting fields. Each project will challenge you to think, research and write in new ways. (You will not, however, be involved in laboratory work; there is no lab on the premises.)
