- Establish robust escalation thresholds and protocols for handling nuclear security risks in research and operational scenarios.
- Contribute expert guidance on benchmarking nuclear and radiological risk assessments, ensuring effective nonproliferation safeguards.
- Review, refine, and validate technical guidelines for nuclear/radiological safety in support of advanced-model training.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary stakeholders to ensure safety standards protect national and global security interests while enabling legitimate scientific progress.
- Document best practices and decision rationales for information security and compliance in nuclear domains.
Preferred Qualifications
- 5+ years of relevant experience in nuclear physics, radiological safety, nonproliferation, or nuclear safeguards (ideally 8–20 years for senior contributors).
- Advanced degree, professional certification, or equivalent operational experience in nuclear or radiological domains.
- Proven background with government agencies, national laboratories, regulatory bodies, or academic research in nuclear security or policy.
- Thorough understanding of nonproliferation frameworks, international safeguards, and weapons-relevant controls.
- High credibility and recognition in nuclear or radiological safety communities.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical topics for diverse audiences.
- Experience contributing to or overseeing security evaluations, compliance protocols, or risk assessments within sensitive technical environments.
