  • Serve as a subject matter expert in one or more core areas related to EDT.
  • Identify, define, and clarify the connections between relevant intelligence data and EDT initiatives and priorities.
  • Provide analytical support and expertise to sponsored research programs focusing on EDT, critical infrastructure, and national security.
  • Collaborate with Argonne subject matter experts in key emerging technology domains to create a range of assessments and reports for senior government officials.
  • Engage with DIS and other Argonne experts to assist government sponsors interested in various domestic and international security and threat landscapes.

  • A formal education in one of the EDT disciplines: Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, Biology, or related fields. Candidates with a social science degree and relevant experience in one of the EDT technical areas will also be considered.
  • Expertise, experience, and skills in one or more specialized EDT technical domains, including artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML), high-performance computing (HPC), quantum information sciences (QIS), biotechnology, and microelectronics/microprocessors.
  • Experience collaborating with Intelligence Community (IC) partners or other national security entities.
  • In-depth knowledge of intelligence analysis methodologies and experience in producing various finished intelligence products while adhering to appropriate information security protocols.
  • The ability to exercise independent judgment and abstract general solutions from specific challenges.
  • Strong oral and written communication skills, including the capacity to translate technical information into accessible language for diverse sponsor audiences.
  • Proficiency in managing multiple projects concurrently, demonstrating effective project management practices and the ability to meet deadlines and allocate resources efficiently.
  • Experience in collaborating with team members and leading independent analyses in support of projects.
  • The ability to work on-site in a secure environment.
  • A successful candidate must embody Argonne's Core Values: Impact, Safety, Respect, Integrity, and Teamwork.
This position may be filled at one of two levels; the selected candidate will be assigned to the appropriate level (RD3 or RD4) based on their relevant knowledge and skills. The minimum qualifications for the two levels are as follows:
  • At the RD3 Level: Bachelor's degree with 8+ years of experience, Master's degree with 5+ years, or Doctorate with 4+ years.
