Technical Project Manager (Data Science and AI Institute)

The Johns Hopkins Data Science and AI Institute (DSAI) is a new pan-institutional initiative at Johns Hopkins to advance artificial intelligence and its applications, in part through investments in the software engineering, data science, and machine learning space.

DSAI is focused on revolutionizing discovery by advancing artificial intelligence that evolves collaboratively with human intelligence, combining the strengths of each for the betterment of society and the world in which we live.

DSAI will bring together the mathematical, computational, and ethical foundations of AI with the domains of Health & Medicine, Scientific Discovery, Engineered Systems, Security & Safety, and People, Policy & Governance.

DSAI is seeking a Technical Project Manager (TPM) to assist multiple project teams in management of project scope, estimation, milestone criteria, status tracking, and resource allocation.

This role combines knowledge of modern scientific computing, AI/ML and data science with expertise in complex software project management to drive systematic definition, tracking and delivery for high-value projects identified across all areas of science, engineering, medicine, social science and public policy.

The TPM will be at the forefront of modern data intensive science, where professionally developed software is rapidly becoming a key ingredient for success.

The DSAI initiative includes the build-out of a substantive and professional-scale software engineering capability, and a dramatic increase in infrastructure, both in hardware and in personnel.
