  • Demonstrated ability to work effectively within or lead a team of peers, as well as excellent interpersonal and communications skills
  • Ability to communicate complex analyses at a level comprehensible to diverse military audiences and senior-level government representatives
  • Ability to clearly express in writing technical analysis results and program characterizations
  • Word, Excel and PowerPoint proficiency
  • Active TS clearance with SCI eligibility

Desired Qualifications:

  • Advanced degree and/or technical training related to nuclear engineering, physics, or the WMD problem set
  • Familiarity with radiological threats and an understanding of the requirements, processes, and techniques to weaponize radiological materials
  • Understanding of the Defense Intelligence Enterprise, DIA, and Service intelligence production centers
  • Experience effectively devising, utilizing, and communicating methodological approaches to complex problem sets
  • Familiarity working with nuclear-related and S&T analytic centers within the DOD, IC and/or Interagency (USANCA, DIA/DCP, NASIC, DOE)
