| | | | | | Where You Will Work Located in beautiful northern New Mexico (Santa Fe area), Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is a multidisciplinary research institution engaged in strategic science in support of our commitment to National Security. LANL ensures the safety and reliability of the U.S. nuclear stockpile while developing technologies to reduce threats from weapons of mass destruction, solving problems related to energy, environment, infrastructure, health and global security concerns. The work in the Biosecurity and Public Health (B-10) group specializes in methods to understand and prevent the spread of infectious disease, supporting a wide range of sponsors. The group uses advanced genomic technologies and bioinformatics strategies in diverse applications to identify and detect disease. Other areas of focus are molecular mechanisms of host-pathogen interactions; identification of new disease biomarkers; and analyzing and engineering biomolecules for drug development. The mission of the Bioenergy and Biome Sciences (B-11) group includes enhancing biomass growth, oil production and photosynthetic efficiency in biofuel feedstocks. Members of the group work on microbiome characterization, elucidation of biochemical pathways, structural biology, enzyme function discovery and organic synthesis. | | | | | | Additional Details: Clearance: 2(Q/SCI) 1(Q) (Position will be cleared to this level).
