Tips on how to recruit data scientist in Ohio

[Mads]

Living and working in Norway I am not sure about this; What would be the best way to recruit personnell (US citizens only due to security clearance requirements) with work experience in things like scientific computing, ray tracing/wave propagation simulation, tomography type of analysis - using C++/C# and GPUs (CUDA/OptiX e.g). in Ohio?

(My first guess for this would be to look at former students from the mechanical or biomedical departments at the local Universities, but the feedback I have had so far on that is that the top students from UC and OU typically get recruited quickly and relocate...and that perhaps this would better fit someone with a computer science background...)

The work involves data acquisition, signal analysis and motion control which are things LabVIEW-developers often have experience with, and hearing about this recruitment challenge I first thought about JKI e.g., but the company in question wants to  recruit someone to work in-house, be located in Cincinnati (no relocation package)...and implement some heavy lifting using CUDA/OptiX or similar, so it is not a LabVIEW or consultancy job.

Any tips (apart from hiring a local recruitment firm...), or someone who knows any suitable candidates (again - US citizens only)?

My part of the world! Unfortunately, I don't have any connections to the realm you are talking about. But I would look at Northern Kentucky University (just across the Ohio river) as they have a good CS program (or at least used to). There is also Miami University (not to be confused with the one in Florida), Wright State University (where I got my MSE), and University of Dayton about an hour north of here in the Dayton area. University of Kentucky is about 2 hours south (Lexington, Kentucky), which is about the same distance from Ohio University (Athens) or THE Ohio State University (Columbus).
