We're looking for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow for the Center for Global Security Research (CGSR). CGSR was established at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in 1996 to serve as a bridge between the science, technology, and national security policy communities. Given LLNL's mission to support nuclear deterrence, CGSR addresses topics related to nuclear matters, including deterrence, arms control, and nonproliferation. The Center also takes a broader view of the changing security environment, and engages in work on emerging and potentially disruptive technologies (like cyber, hypersonic, and counter-space) as well as global challenges such as climate change, energy security, and biosecurity. The CGSR fellowship would support one of the five main research thrust areas at the Center:
Complete descriptions of the CGSR thrust areas and examples of the Center's work can be found athttps://cgsr.llnl.gov/.
The Center works to achieve these objectives by 1) convening seminars with outside speakers to better understand national policy priorities and national and international developments bearing on the lab's missions, 2) providing analysis and expertise to laboratory leadership in support of strategic planning and to national leadership in policy development and implementation, and 3) advancing thinking about contemporary and emerging national security challenges related to strategic conflict through independent research, workshops, and publications. The Center's work is conducted on an entirely unclassified basis. It is also multidisciplinary and entirely nonpartisan in character.
