<strong>Overview</strong><br><br><p>At PNNL,&nbsp;our core capabilities are divided&nbsp;among&nbsp;major departments&nbsp;that we&nbsp;refer to as&nbsp;Directorates&nbsp;within the Lab,&nbsp;focused on a specific area of scientific research or&nbsp;other function, with its own leadership team&nbsp;and dedicated budget.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Our Science &amp; Technology directorates include National Security, Earth and Biological Sciences, Physical and Computational Sciences, and Energy and Environment. In addition, we have an Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory, a Department of Energy, Office of Science user facility housed on the PNNL campus. The National Security Directorate (NSD) drives science-based, mission-focused solutions to take on complex, real-world threats to our nation and the world.&nbsp;<br /><br /></p><p>The&nbsp;Physical Detection Systems and Deployment Division, part of the National Security Directorate, delivers policy-informed technology solutions by removing barriers to real-world implementation. We strive to understand end-user environments to transition technology from the developmental stage to deployment. Our diverse&nbsp;expertise&nbsp;in operational systems provides tools, technologies, and approaches for combating a range of threats, both at home and in more than 100 countries around the globe.<br /><br /></p><p>Protecting U.S. residents and visitors is among our nation&rsquo;s highest priorities. As adversaries gain access to sophisticated technologies and materials, the threats grow more dynamic and complex&mdash;from cyber and nuclear to chemical and biological weapons of mass effect and other forms of terrorism. The PNNL national security mission employs our researchers, tools, and technologies to play a key role in advancing the ability to identify and secure nuclear materials, detect weapons of mass effect, manage nonproliferation treaties, secure our nation's borders, and protect critical infrastructures.&nbsp; PNNL&rsquo;s scientific discovery&nbsp;and capabilities&mdash;rooted in innovative theory, methods, algorithms, and tools&mdash;are enabling stronger, more resilient technologies and systems to safeguard national security. Coupled with decades of radiological and nuclear materials expertise, advanced computing and threat analysis capabilities, and a broad fundamental science base, we are identifying and countering emerging threats that have significant impact at home and around the globe.<br /><br /></p><p><strong>NOTE:&nbsp; Several documents are strictly required to submit with the application to be eligible for this position.
