Computer Science Jobs 2026 (Now Hiring) – Smart Auto Apply

Paid, low-volume advisory consulting — contingent opportunity. Axyde Analytics is recruiting a named, non-government Scientific Advisor for its proposed ERDC Fellowship Program Administration and Research Support team. This is advance recruiting for Axyde, not a Government appointment or an awarded/funded position. Selection and any future work depend on need, funding, applicable contract requirements and a mutually agreed written engagement.

Engagement and compensation: Occasional scheduled consultations, short technical reviews and mentoring or recruiting-advice assignments. Low-volume, nonexclusive consulting rather than a full-time role; no minimum hours or work volume is guaranteed. Compensation will be an agreed honorarium for a discrete permitted activity or a negotiated consulting fee for an authorized assignment. Scope, fee and any travel reimbursement must be agreed before work starts. No unpaid project deliverables are requested with an application.

Location: Remote advisory consultations are anticipated. Midlothian, Virginia is Axyde's administrative base. Any travel or onsite activity would be separately agreed and subject to facility/task-order requirements.

Scientific Advisor — Geospatial Analytics and Decision Science

Technical focus: Remote sensing, GIS, geospatial AI and data fusion; spatial uncertainty and provenance; decision analysis, optimization and reproducible mission-oriented analytics.

Directly relevant experience: Research or applied leadership in geospatial science, remote sensing, spatial analytics, operations research or decision-support methods.

Shared advisory responsibilities

• Advise the Axyde Program Director and recruiting team on discipline-specific research profiles, relevant methods and realistic experience criteria.
• Identify appropriate university, postdoctoral and professional recruiting channels and facilitate introductions when authorized.
• Review short technical profiles or candidate qualifications when authorized, documenting evidence and disclosing conflicts; final selection and research direction remain with the authorized program/Government officials.
• Provide occasional technical mentoring, seminar input or short written recommendations within an agreed assignment.
• Help translate technical needs into clear recruiting and program-administration requirements without implying authority over ERDC research.

Qualifications and participation

• Recognized expertise demonstrated by relevant research, applied projects, publications, patents, technical leadership or comparable professional contributions.
• Ability to communicate across technical and administrative teams and provide concise, evidence-based advice.
• Advanced degree in a relevant discipline preferred, or equivalent substantial professional expertise; these are Axyde preferences, not stated Government minimums.
• Serve in a non-government capacity. This recruitment does not seek serving Government officials acting in their official capacity. University, nonprofit, industry, independent and retired experts are welcome where outside consulting is permitted.
• Disclose relevant conflicts and obtain any required employer/institution approval. No privileged, proprietary or nonpublic Government information should be supplied.

Named advisor: We seek an individual willing, after mutual agreement, to be identified by name and approved biography/CV as a proposed Axyde advisor in this specific opportunity. Applying does not authorize use of your name or imply institutional endorsement. Written permission will be obtained before proposal/RFI attribution.

Apply: Submit a CV/resume, a short description of relevant expertise, two or three releasable examples or publication links, availability for occasional assignments, preferred fee structure and whether named-advisor participation interests you. Selection is based on job-related qualifications. No compensation amount, appointment or contract award is promised by this posting.
