Columbia in 1992, based on the neutrino data we took at FNAL in E770. After
graduation, I moved to Washington to work at the Institute for Defense
Analyses as a Research Staff Member, and am now the project leader for
Undersea Warfare. Our group intends to hire a new RSM sometime this year,
and I want to bring the position to the attention of any grad students or
postdocs who might be finishing up in the next few months.

> The main www.ida.org site provides some general background about the
Institute. IDA is a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC
), as is FNAL, but our contract is with the Department of Defense. My
division works for the Pentagon’s Director of Operational Test and
Evaluation, who reports directly to the Office of the Secretary of Defense
and Congress on testing of new defense systems. In the case of our undersea
warfare programs (e.g., subs, sonars, torpedoes), an independent
organization within the Navy runs the tests, but we at IDA are involved in
the test design, we monitor the exercise, and then perform an independent
analysis of the results. Our job is to conduct an unbiased, scientific
assessment of the system’s performance to ensure that the program sponsors
are making informed decisions and Congress is aware of how their money is
being spent. Over the years, IDA analysis has played a vital role in
identifying problems with major defense programs, allowing those
deficiencies to be properly addressed.
> The RSM slot is a full-time, permanent position with a generous salary
and benefits. It is a great opportunity for someone who might wish to
apply their analytical skills to this important area of national security.
We spend much of our time writing, briefing, and meeting with Navy and other
defense personnel, so the position requires strong communication skills.
Since we deal with classified information, current U.S. citizenship and the
ability to obtain security clearance are mandatory. Moderate travel is
involved, and the position offers a rare chance to ride aboard some of the
Navy’s newest ships and submarines. The IDA atmosphere is quite collegial
and academic, with excellent facilities and support services.
> While the job description mentions specific areas of technical and
military experience as desirable, most of the training will be obtained on
the job; a physics PhD student with a good analytical mind would be well
qualified. Of the approximately 100 analysts in our division, 60% have PhDs
, with over a third of those earned in physics. Over 20% of our staff came
to IDA directly out of grad school or postdocs. About a dozen of our
analysts, including some of our most recent hires, did their work in HEP (
many of them learned about IDA from my previous FNALGrad postings), and
their background helped them make a smooth transition to our division’s
work.

additional information. Again, CURRENT US CITIZENSHIP IS REQUIRED to apply
for this position.

LANL不管前身如何，原子弹怎么样，好歹还算是国家实验室，
这个IDA完全就是军方背景了
第一封email发给fnalgrad确实不合适，毕竟很多人都是国家学生
Friday
