Why we read it this way (6)
No work location is specified in the posting; the CBSA is left blank. The 'Work Environment' section references Navy leadership and classified communication systems, suggesting a government facility, but no city or state is named.
The posting contains internally contradictory boilerplate in the 'Work Environment' and 'Physical Demands' sections (references to 'executive settings', 'Navy leadership', 'extensive travel', and 'high-stress decision-making') that clearly does not match this junior data scientist role — these appear to be copy-paste artifacts from an unrelated job description and should be disregarded.
The 2+ years of experience requirement is stated for an analytical/statistical language (Python, R, or SQL), not as a standalone role-level requirement; however, it is the only experience figure given and has been used as the overall years minimum as a reasonable proxy for overall experience.
The degree requirement states a Bachelor's in a related field but explicitly allows equivalent experience in lieu of a degree, so the degree requirement is set to None.
This position is for proposed/contingent work — an offer is conditional on contract award.
Requires a Secret clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
