Intl Compliance Analyst 4

Position description

Protecting U.S. residents and visitors is among our nation’s highest priorities. As adversaries gain access to sophisticated technologies and materials, the threats grow more dynamic and complex—from cyber and nuclear to chemical and biological weapons of mass effect and other forms of terrorism. The PNNL national security mission employs our researchers, tools, and technologies to play a key role in advancing the ability to identify and secure nuclear materials, detect weapons of mass effect, manage nonproliferation treaties, secure our nation’s borders, and protect critical infrastructures. PNNL’s scientific discovery and capabilities—rooted in innovative theory, methods, algorithms, and tools—are enabling stronger, more resilient technologies and systems to safeguard national security. Coupled with decades of radiological and nuclear materials expertise, advanced computing and threat analysis capabilities, and a broad fundamental science base, we are identifying and countering emerging threats that have significant impact at home and around the globe.

The Emerging Threats and Technology (ET&T) Division is comprised of cybersecurity, infrastructure protection, policy, legal, intelligence, and security systems expertise. Our staff work in interdisciplinary project teams to provide innovative concepts that integrate policy, analytics, science, and technology into unique solutions. Our collaborative environment and commitment to work/life balance makes PNNL an ideal place to advance your career, challenge yourself, and make a difference in the world. The Threat Prevention and Resilience (TPR) group sits at the intersection of policy and technology deployment. This group of over 45 staff examines the suite of issues that impact technology deployment and use, such as laws, regulations, policies, economics, trade, and stakeholder challenges. The Legal Frameworks Team within TPR comprises over ten analysts who conduct research and analysis on behalf of U.S. Government sponsors and perform training, engagement, and capacity building with a range of foreign partners. The Legal Frameworks Team seeks an International Compliance Analyst to provide policy and legal analytic support to PNNL’s ongoing work to promote international chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) materials security and nonproliferation and address emergent technology threats.
