About this position
Theoretical and Analytical Guidance Technologies at the DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory (ARL) is a research opportunity based at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, within the Army’s central laboratory. The project sits in the Weapons and Materials Research Directorate and is part of ARL’s broader Science and Technology campaign in the Sciences-for-Lethality area.
The advertised work focuses on ballistics research, guidance, navigation and control, sensor development, and direct and indirect fire munition flight dynamics. The posting also highlights experimental ballistics work involving the design and execution of in-situ diagnostic devices. The research direction is tied to improving future Army systems and to understanding desired effects at standoff ranges for moving targets in access-denied environments.
The opportunity is embedded in a large applied research environment that brings together government and private-sector partners. ARL’s research portfolio spans propulsion and flight physics, projectile warhead mechanics, terminal effects, armor and survivability technologies, advanced materials, and other science and engineering areas relevant to Army capability development.
The advisor listed for this opening is Thomas Brown.

What's required
Required qualification is an MA in mathematics and numerical sciences. U.S. citizenship is required. A master's degree or doctoral degree is accepted, and the opportunity is open at any academic level. Experience in ballistics research, guidance, navigation, and control (GNC), guided projectiles, efficient divert authority, weapon sensor development, MEMS inertial sensors, direct fire and indirect fire munition flight dynamics, and experimental ballistics with in-situ diagnostic devices is highly desirable. Experience with Wavemetrics Igor software and guided trajectory codes closely related to PRODAS software is also highly desirable. Applicants must be at least 18 years old.
How to apply
Apply through the Zintellect application page. Prepare a CV or resume, three reference forms, and transcripts verifying degree receipt; an unofficial copy is acceptable. If selected by an advisor, you will also need to submit a research proposal through the link provided later in Zintellect.
