Signature Exploitation Reduction

The Applied Physics Branch of the US Army Research Laboratory is offering a post-doctoral fellowship in the area of signature exploitation/reduction. This fellowship requires complete knowledge of the electromagnetic spectrum and the wide range of possible sensors which take advantage of the various signatures of threats and vehicle/building platforms. The focus for sensors is likely to be support for active protection/adaptive armor. Both theoretical and experimental expertise is required of the candidate who should be able to 'think out of the box' and initiate solutions based on an examination of the problem presented and the current state of the art in various technologies. The Army Research Laboratory Research Associateship Program (ARL-RAP) is designed to significantly increase the involvement of creative and highly trained scientists and engineers from academia and industry in scientific and technical areas of interest and relevance to the Army. Located at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland, ARL is the Army's central laboratory with diverse facilities and a dedicated workforce making up the largest source of world-class integrated research and analysis in the Army.
