ISR-1/Space Science & Applications

What You Will Do
ISR-1 supports monitoring of the atmosphere and near-Earth space for nuclear detonations by providing satellite-borne gamma-ray, X-ray, and neutron detectors to the US government.  Similarly, our charged-particle detectors support measurement of the natural environment. We have an international reputation in the detection of nuclear phenomenology and in the data analysis, simulation and modeling of the natural environment. ISR-1 is engaged in a number of pioneering basic-science missions, greatly enhancing our research and contributing to our technological base. Our many postdocs and affiliates are key collaborators. These science programs cover several disciplines, including magnetospheric physics, planetary exploration, gamma-ray astrophysics, space situational awareness, and solar-terrestrial interactions. The group is currently seeking scientists for ongoing programs and to develop future applied and basic science missions.

What You Will Need
ISR division capabilities include engineering design and fabrication, spacecraft integration, ground system support and on-orbit operation.  Scientists in ISR are expected to become self-supported or critical to the execution of larger programs.  We seek candidates who will contribute exceptionally to more than one mission area.
Minimum Job Requirements

Where You Will Work
Located in northern New Mexico, Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is a multidisciplinary research institution engaged in strategic science on behalf of national security.  LANL enhances national security by ensuring the safety and reliability of the U.S. nuclear stockpile, developing technologies to reduce threats from weapons of mass destruction, and solving problems related to energy, environment, infrastructure, health, and global security concerns.
The Space Science and Applications group (ISR-1) in the Intelligence and Space Research (ISR) division leads a variety of civilian and defense-related programs sponsored by DOE, DOD, NASA, and other US agencies. In support of these missions, we develop sensors to detect nuclear emissions and measure natural and man-made radiations in space. ISR-1 capabilities extend from mission concept to design and calibration, data analysis, simulation and modeling.
