About this position
The Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) and the Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) are offering a postdoctoral fellowship within the U.S. Department of Defense. The selected fellow will work with a scientific mentor on mission-critical research tied to the Department of Defense’s research, development, test, and evaluation activities.
The fellowship centers on synthesizing scientific and technical information across a portfolio of more than 400 active demonstration projects. The work includes rigorous data analysis, cross-project synthesis, identification of technical and data gaps, and helping define future applied research priorities. The fellow will also translate complex findings into technical evaluations, prepare peer-reviewed manuscripts, and create data visualizations to support leadership decision-making.
Research themes in the portfolio include site remediation, energy systems, natural hazards, and water supply, with an emphasis on scalable technologies that improve military readiness, warfighter capabilities, and defense infrastructure. The position is based with the SERDP and ESTCP office in Alexandria, Virginia, with occasional travel for meetings.
The appointment is administered through ORISE and offers a research environment focused on applied environmental and defense-related technology development.
