[Jan Mahar Sturdevant]

Fellow Researchers,


We are looking for two Post PhDs whose expertise in in the following area:
 Cognitive and Information Science: The basic science of cognitive and information science results from the convergence of computer, information, mathematical, network, cognitive, and social science. This research thrust expands our understanding of physical and social networks and advances knowledge of adversarial intent with respect to the acquisition, proliferation, and potential use of WMD. The methods may include analytical, computational or numerical, or experimental means to integrate knowledge across disciplines and improve rapid processing of intelligence and dissemination of information.


Attached are the Recruitment Letter and the Application that I ask you forward onto whomever you feel would be interested.
Application deadline is 2/15/12... be sure to email jbm18 at psu.edu<mailto:jbm18 at psu.edu> this completed application.

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.
