A few months back I posted an Ask HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16885344) trying to get general input on what people knew or thought about Oak Ridge National Lab, where I work as a data scientist and realized that the "if you post it they will come" approach wasn't really working well for our positions we were hiring for. There were a lot of great, brutally honest comments.

To summarize, there were 3 main categories of responses

- I’ve never heard of ORNL

- I’ve heard of ORNL and the national labs, but aren’t they just low paying government jobs?

- I’ve heard of ORNL, but I don’t really know about living in Tennessee

Based on this feedback, I tossed the existing job posting and rewrote this one to try and address, or at least acknowledge, the main points that were mentioned in the Ask HN.

If you are interested, let me know. The position is a part of my team so I should be able to answer any questions you might have. Also, general feedback on the posting itself would be great.

Thanks!
