<b><i>Where You Will Work</i></b><br>
<br>
<b>Located in northern New Mexico, Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is a multidisciplinary research institution engaged in strategic science on behalf of national security. LANL enhances national security by ensuring the safety and reliability of the U.S.
nuclear stockpile, developing technologies to reduce threats from weapons of mass destruction, and solving problems related to energy, environment, infrastructure, health, and global security concerns.</b><br>
<br>
<b>The Space & Remote Sensing Group (ISR-2) in the Intelligence & Space Research Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory develops and applies remote sensing capabilities to problems of global security and related sciences. ISR-2 application areas include
space-based nuclear detonation detection, space situational awareness, airborne remote sensing, nuclear proliferation detection, atmospheric science, ionospheric physics, planetary science, and astrophysics. ISR-2 capabilities include expertise in source phenomenology,
propagation effects, advanced sensor and algorithm development, and laboratory and field experimentation for remote detection challenges primarily in the focus areas of radio-frequency, infrared, and optical regimes. The Group consists of about 45 scientists,
engineers, technicians, post-docs, students, and administrative professionals teaming across ISR Division and other LANL organizations to fulfill our various missions.<o:p></o:p></b></span></p>
