in Science to Secure WMD (Thrust Area 5)

 

Fellow Researchers,

 

We are looking for Post PhD whose expertise in in the following area:


Science to Secure WMD: Basic science to support securing WMD includes: (a)
environmentally responsible innovative processes to neutralize chemical,
biological, radiological, nuclear, or explosive (CBRNE) materials and
components; (b) discovery of revolutionary means to secure components and
weapons; and (c) studies of scientific principles that lead to novel
physical or other tags and methods to monitor compliance and disrupt
proliferation pathways. The identification of basic phenomena that provide
verifiable controls on materials and systems also helps arms control

	
	
	

 

Attached are the Recruitment Letter and the Application that I ask you
forward onto whomever you feel would be interested.

 

Further Detail 

For qualified candidate, this opportunity would provide the following to a
US citizen, capable of obtaining a security clearance at the Secret level,
to spend one year working at DTRA (Fort Belvior):

 

.                     $71,663 annual salary

.                     $1,000 monthly living allowance

.                     Domestic Travel allowance

Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship Program

 

The objective of this fellowship program is to establish and sustain a
long-term process through which the University Strategic Partners (USP) will
develop and execute a Post- Doctoral Research Fellowship Program to address
critical scientific, technology and engineering needs for reducing the
threat from Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD).  This project will enable
DTRA to utilize mission-critical expertise possessed by highly qualified
faculty and graduate students (nearing completion of their degree) who hold
doctoral or terminal professional degrees in relevant scientific, technical
and engineering disciplines. Post-Doctoral / Masters Fellows will be
selected based upon their responsive ability to enhance the joint
DTRA-Strategic Partnership mission requirements.  Key science and technology
skills include: nuclear and radiation physics; weapons engineering;
structural, electrical and mechanical engineering; broad-based
nano-technological engineering and applications; weapons effects and system
response technologies; physics, chemistry and biological sciences related to
detection, characterization and destruction of WMD materials; medical and
pharmaceutical sciences; information technology, modeling, data
visualization and advanced computational sciences; social, adversarial and
behavioral modeling, science and analysis.  Post-Doctoral / Masters Research
Fellows will be assigned to DTRA's Research and Development and subsequently
detailed to perform such duties as may be required among the various agency
Enterprises, Directorates and Offices which are typically reviewing research
proposals and white papers.
