<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
