**Job Description**:
General Background: This position is located in the Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation’s Office of Cooperative Threat Reduction (ISN/CTR) at the U.S. Department of State. ISN/CTR manages several nonproliferation assistance programs to reduce the threats posed by proliferator states and terrorist groups seeking to develop or acquire Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) material, equipment, or expertise, advanced conventional weapons, and delivery systems.

This position is “dual-hatted,” serving as a Program Advisor for both the FIRST program, as well as the Science Centers program, both described below:
FIRST Program:
ISN/CTR funds, manages, and implements the Foundational Infrastructure for the Responsible Use of Small Modular Reactor (SMR) Technology (FIRST) program - a multi-agency U.S. government initiative that provides capacity building support to help partner countries:

- Establish a civil nuclear power program under the highest international standards for nuclear safety, security, and nonproliferation
- Take advantage of next generation nuclear energy innovations and technologies in their sustainable energy plans
- Meet their clean, reliable energy goals while protecting the global climate
- Deepen relationships through government, industry, national laboratory, and university engagements

Science Centers Program:
ISN/CTR is also responsible for the diplomatic outreach and programmatic oversight of two intergovernmental nonproliferation organizations, the International Science and Technology Center (ISTC) based in Astana, Kazakhstan and the Science and Technology Center in Ukraine (STCU), based in Kyiv. Both centers include members countries in Central Asia, the Caucasus, and Eastern Europe, as well as the European Union. Through both these centers, as well as other technical implementers, ISN/CTR provides assistance to displaced civilian technical experts who are currently unable to work in their home institutes and who possess dual-use-relevant expertise related to WMD and missiles.

While the ISN/CTR headquarters is in Washington, DC, the position is telework-eligible. International travel will be required.

**Responsibilities**:

- Developing, coordinating with the interagency, and implementing country-specific engagement strategies in partnership with host government officials, including at senior levels, and advancing time-sensitive and complex capacity-building projects, both remotely and internationally, tailored to the partner’s priority needs;
- Leveraging one’s own networks and experience to manage complex and sensitive relationships with interagency partners such as the U.S. Department of Energy, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, National Nuclear Security Administration, Commerce Department, and State Department partners from country desks, embassies, and within the ISN Bureau in a manner that advances ISN/CTR’s programmatic goals and directs complementary capabilities in a whole-of-U.S.nuclear-sector effort to address these threats;
- Advance U.S. diplomatic and programmatic leadership of the ISTC and STCU, including providing written and verbal information to senior Department of State, U.S. Government, and international officials;
- Develop collaborative relationships and strategies and manage grantee technical experts who conduct trainings, fellowships, and other activities to engage displaced scientists in civilian research and build capacity with partner countries to counter the threats posed by WMD, advanced conventional weapons, and missiles, including the proliferation risks posed by vulnerable displaced technical experts who possess dual-use expertise related to WMD and missiles and who are at risk of exploitation by proliferator states due to their displaced circumstances;
- Participating in the review of threat reduction project proposals and making recommendations concerning the approval and funding of proposals;
- Advising ISN/CTR’s budget planning process, to include the preparation of grants, cooperative agreements, and Interagency Agreement documents; financial monitoring; financial reconciliation; and financial close out;
- Briefing high-level officials in the Department of State, interagency, foreign governments, and senior nuclear industry executives on ISN/CTR programmatic activities;
- Representing ISN/CTR in domestic and foreign meetings as required, and additional tasks in support of CTR at home or abroad as assigned;
- Developing and enacting engagement strategies to advance ISN/CTR programming as well as U.S. involvement
