Great strides have been made over the past few years in promoting criminal justice reforms that recognize that prior “tough on crime” and incarceration-driven practices don't always produce safer or healthier communities. New thinking has started to permeate the justice system and has prompted proactive and prevention-oriented strategies.
Against that backdrop, a new generation of reform-minded state and local elected prosecutors committed to changing their office culture and promoting a less punitive approach to addressing crime has come into office. Recently elected DAs in geographic areas ranging from Los Angeles, St. Louis, and Philadelphia to smaller rural communities are pushing back against the “law and order/tough on crime” rhetoric of past decades and elevating a national conversation around the importance of a fair, equitable and right-sized justice system.

Work with FJP staff to plan, structure, and organize in-person and remote gatherings to enable newly elected prosecutive leaders to learn from each other - and from other experts in the field
Work with FJP staff to help develop and conduct interviews, oversee surveys and provide assistance and support to prosecutive leaders who are part of the FJP network
Work with FJP staff to help develop, promote and oversee opportunities for academic collaborations
Work with FJP staff to help develop and update project management and tracking tools and mechanisms
Work with FJP staff to identify and promote other learning opportunities and partnerships that can enhance the ability of FJP prosecutive leaders to learn about and implement new justice system practices and thinking

Additionally, you have the following background, experience, and skills/abilities:
Bachelor's degree required; JD, Master's Degree or equivalent post-graduate degree preferred. However, we value diverse educational and experiential backgrounds. An equivalent combination of education, training, and experience will also be considered

EO/AA Employer M/F/Disability/Vets
Staff Autonomy Researcher
Geneticist Job In Dayton, OH
Verification of autonomy is known to be a hard problem. Autonomous systems include complex decision-making mechanisms that are likely to be sensitive to changing mission conditions, resulting in a “state space explosion” of possible system behaviors that traditional test-based approaches cannot adequately cover. To address this problem, “formal methods” - i.e., mathematically-based tools and techniques for design, specification, and verification - can supplement testing by providing evidence of system correctness through proof and analysis. Formal methods, in conjunction with existing best practices for system and software development, can also be used to make autonomy software more robust and reliable by checking for general properties such as absence of runtime errors, memory leaks, access to undefined memory locations, etc.
Using OpenUxAS, an autonomy framework developed by AFRL, one of our goals is to make it easier for our collaborators, e.g. academic or industrial partners who are using it as a platform to build or test autonomous or human-automation systems, to use OpenUxAS in their own work. However, our larger goal is to use OpenUxAS as a case study and demonstration of best practices for software development, documentation, and verification using formal methods alongside more traditional approaches. To date, we have been working to formalize requirements and verify individual services in UxAS (Aiello, et al. 2019), which we plan to continue. We are also working to restructure UxAS to better enable traditional approaches like unit testing. We are also working to develop better documentation for UxAS, including user guides and developer guides, and we are developing additional tutorial examples for UxAS and associated simulation framework OpenAMASE (AFRL/RQ 2020). We are also working with collaborators who are developing verified algorithms for OpenUxAS, e.g. path planning algorithms. Since OpenUxAS is implemented as a service-oriented architecture, we also plan to develop methods to compositionally verify that collections of services satisfy higher-level system properties. We are also interested in developing a multi-vehicle air collision avoidance algorithm using NASA DAIDALUS (NASA 2020) as a foundation, incorporating it into OpenUxAS, and demonstrating it in OpenAMASE.
Minimum Qualifications:
1. Bachelor's Degree in a relevant technical field;
2. Familiarity with modern Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) and software compilers such as Netbeans, Visual Studio, Eclipse, or similar;
3. 3+ years of demonstrated, successful experience developing software using C, C++ and/or Java;
4. Demonstrated ability to apply technical concepts discussed in academic papers or journals
5. Due to the nature of this position, U.S. Citizenship is required
Preferred Qualifications:
1. Bachelor's Degree (or higher) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science
2. Demonstrated, successful experience (academic or professional) programming in algorithm level languages such as Matlab/Simulink, Python or similar
3. Demonstrated, successful experience (academic or professional) developing software to
4. Demonstrated, successful experience (academic or professional) installing, configuring, and working in Windows and Linux environments
5. Demonstrated, successful experience (academic or professional) developing software applications specifically designed for use in multi platform (e.g. Windows and Linux) environments
