Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), are pleased to invite applications for up to six (6) postdoctoral scholar positions in Technology and International Security.

Today, significant advancements in nuclear technology, autonomous weapons, artificial intelligence,
remote sensing, cyber technology, hypersonic vehicles, additive manufacturing, stealth, precision guidance, and other areas have contributed to a widespread sense that the world is again on the precipice of a new technological era.

Applicants who can participate for only 12-months in line with the 2027-28 academic year should also apply. Eligible applicants should expect to receive a Ph.D. degree by September 1, 2027. All Scholars are expected to be in residence at the
University of California Washington, D.C. Center for the duration of the fellowship. Scholars are expected to dedicate the majority of their time to research and complete a book, monograph, or other significant publication during their period of residence. Scholars are also expected to plan and regularly participate in all weekly seminars, research colloquia, and occasional travel. Competitive salary with benefits
