Group Overview:The Chemical and Biological Systems Group (47)
develops systems and technology for disaster preparedness,
detection, mitigation, and attribution, with emphasis on chemical,
biological, and explosives defense. Principal sponsors are the
Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense. The
work of this group is highly interdisciplinary; as a result, the
backgrounds of the researchers are diverse. Rigorous systems
analyses produce system architectures and recommend research areas
to guide government investment. These analyses are grounded by
modeling and simulation of threats and defenses and by data
analysis. Sensor development is conducted at several levels,
including initial measurements of detection signatures,
proof-of-concept experiments for biological or chemical assay or
electro-optic sensors, integration into autonomous sensors along
with development of the associated electronics and algorithms, and
rigorous field-testing in relevant environments. The group develops
and tests multi-technology integrated systems in operational
settings.
Job Description:Candidate will contribute to a
multi-disciplinary team seeking to understand chemical, biological,
and explosives defense technology requirements and capabilities.
Defense solutions may be evaluated or developed for threat
detection, attribution, protection, and remediation applications in
both military and homeland operational environments. Candidate may
be asked to assist in many aspects of technology development
including analysis, design, development, test and evaluation.
Position will involve wet laboratory research including the design
and implementation of experiments and the analysis of resulting
data.
Requirements:BS in Chemistry, BioChemistry, or Chemical
Engineering. Research experience in one or more of these areas is
highly desired. Position requires wet laboratory experience, the
ability to perform spectroscopic techniques including GC/MS,
absorbance, and fluorescence measurements, and the capacity to
independently carry out data analysis and interpret and present
results. The candidate must demonstrate the ability to plan and
carry out scientific experiments. Knowledge of standard biological
protocols and techniques such as microscopy, cell culture, and
polymerase chain reaction are also desirable as well as a general
understanding of biological systems. Strong communications skills
and ability to work both independently and in a multi-disciplinary
team environment are necessary. Position also requires some
participation in conducting field experiments which may require
periodic travel.
