About this position

This ORISE fellowship places a master's or doctoral-level participant with the Test Support Division, Test Science Branch, in the Research and Development Directorate of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA). The project centers on kinetic weapons technology and the modeling, testing, and analysis of weapons systems interactions with targets, including the response and damage of targets to weapons effects.

Selected fellows work alongside researchers and engineers within DTRA-West and contribute to objective evaluations and assessments of new capabilities intended to counter WMD and emerging threats. The appointment includes participation in kinetic and other weapons testing at White Sands Missile Range, Kirtland Air Force Base, and other test sites, offering hands-on exposure to test science in a defense research environment.

Under mentor guidance, the fellow will help research technical issues, conduct feasibility studies for prospective projects and tests, design and develop test plans and analysis methodologies, support diagnostic instrumentation development and gauge ranging, analyze test data, evaluate results, and document findings. The role also develops communication skills through presentation work and participation in Technical Interchange Meetings with customers, technical personnel, and contractors.

The fellowship is based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and is described as a research-based experience with professional development and potential future career opportunities. It is administered through ORISE within the U.S. Department of Defense research participation program.

Funding details

Stipend of $5,400.00–$5,800.00 per month; health insurance supplement may be available, along with relocation/dislocation allowance and training/travel allowance.

What's required

A qualified candidate will have earned, or be currently pursuing, a master's or doctoral degree in Engineering (General), Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Physics (General), or a related discipline.
