SRNL Statistician - Advanced Modeling and Simulation
avannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) is a multi-program laboratory applying state of the art science and practical, high-value, cost-effective solutions to complex technical problems to protect the nation. Located at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Savannah River Site (SRS) in Aiken, SC, the laboratory develops and deploys innovative technologies to address some of the nation’s environmental, energy, and national security challenges.
Situated on the outskirts of South Carolina, Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) is located approximately 20 minutes from Augusta, Georgia (home of the annual Master’s Tournament) and 30 minutes from Fort Gordon (home of the new US Army Cyber Command). The complex is one-hour away from Columbia, South Carolina and within a three-hour radius of Charleston, South Carolina, and many of the coastal beaches. Aiken is known for its famous thoroughbred horses, southern hospitality, growing community, thriving school district, numerous parks and golf courses, great weather, spacious avenues, and historical large and impressive homes.
Savannah River National Laboratory is seeking a Statistician to work in dynamic Advanced Modeling, and Simulation organization to apply statistical methods in various application areas such as laboratory quality assurance, nuclear nonproliferation, nuclear materials control and accountability, and global security programs.
The vision of the Global Security Directorate is to transform technologies to meet future threats by leveraging the technologies and the staff of scientists and engineers to deliver groundbreaking advancements in national security applications.
Join the Savannah River National Laboratory and become a part of an Advanced Modeling and Simulation organization.
