I work for the NBA League Office headquarters in New York City. I’m the Director of Basketball Analytics here at the NBA, and I’m again recruiting analysts.
More information on the roles I’m trying to fill can be found here (peopleclick.com).
I’m open to both undergraduate and graduate students.
I’d be perfect for this! When I was in grad school we played a couple of basketball games against the math dept. They had Jeff Rosenthal which was pretty unfair cos he’s so tall and kinda athletic too. I couldn’t do much, but in one of the games I sunk the final shot and won us the game. Not typical of my basketball experiences, so I treasure the memory.
Can we somehow hide this job ad from Daniel Lee? Maybe I can dissuade him with a little deconstruction of the job ad. On second thougt, my comments looked mean, so I dropped them. Mitzi more charitably concluded they’d hired a typical programmer last time and didn’t want to repeat the experience. I’ll let Daniel draw his own conclusions from the bullet points in the job ad.
Consider it hidden. =).

I took an analysis course with Jeff from his father http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Rosenthal which was pretty unfair cos …
But when his father took the small class out for a Christmas drink at the faculty club, I made a plea for the other students to consider statistics as a career. When I reminded Jeff of this a few years ago, he said he could not remember. I said, no need to worry, I have already added all your publications to my CV.
And I think I one upped him on this http://probability.ca/jeff/ftpdir/quincunx.pdf by adding a second stage which enables one to do Bayes without MCMC.
