IBM DATA MINING ANALYST POSITIONS (please post/redistribute)

Help! We're drowning in work! IBM needs 10 more analysts for its
highly successful data mining group. Join our team of high-caliber
PhD's in an exciting multi-faceted career in data mining:

* Analyze data for customers using IBM's industry-leading data mining
products
* Interact directly with senior management at Fortune 500 companies
* Teach data mining classes to our customers and develop course materials
* Travel, see the world! (One member of our team just got back
from Paris, another is heading to Australia for two weeks... these
are not vacations, it's their job!)
* Interact with researchers and product developers, discuss ideas for
new data mining algorithms, new visualizations, and new features
for our products
* Assist sales reps in customer visits, be the "technical person" to
answer hard questions
* Work with the marketing group to help develop brochures, etc.
* Attend trade shows and conferences, learn more about the industry
and talk to customers
* Use SQL/AWK/PERL/SAS to process data (ooh, the excitement!)

The ideal candidate
* has an excellent understanding of the data analysis process and has
participated in several projects
* is strongly technically proficient in at least some areas of data
mining (background in statistics, machine learning, neural nets, or
pattern recognition, or related), with a desire to learn more
* has excellent communication and presentation skills
* is a self-starter, good at quickly becoming a productive member of
a team
* is a fast learner, can quickly become an expert in a new industry
and work with IBM consultants to productively apply data mining
* has some unix skills, knows enough AWK and PERL to be self-sufficient
in processing data
* has a good sense of humor, fun to work with, enjoys taking co-workers
out to dinner, insists on paying every time, etc...

Positions are available for both senior applicants (professors, PhD's,
MBA's, or 4+ years relevant business experience) and more junior
members (MS, BS, less job experience). Salaries are competitive, and
based on experience. The jobs are focused on business, but some amount
of time spent on research may be negotiated. IBM's data mining group
is growing quickly, and offers excellent career opportunities.
