Introduction
The Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), a national leader in scientific research and development, located midway between Baltimore and Washington, DC is seeking a A2D Section Supervisor ¿ Applied Spectroscopy and Remote Sensing for EO/IR Systems & Technologies Group.
Responsibilities
Supervise the Applied Spectroscopy and Remote Sensing Section, develop and execute projects in active and passive EO/IR remote sensing, modeling and validation of light propagation through various media, laser applications including high energy lasers, and applied research into light/matter interaction and material properties, e.g. absorption spectroscopy and scattering, in support of multiple APL business areas.
Duties:
Section supervision: lead and supervise a section of 8 professional staff, interaction with program/project or technical leads for tasks, development and prioritization of tasks, staff development, staff allocation, section meetings, and performance appraisals.
Technical: lead and contribute to the aforementioned technical task areas of the section, as well as to group tasks outside the section.
New business: Support or lead the development of new instrument concepts, measurement techniques, scientific analysis, and modeling efforts. Such initiatives will correspond to a variety of research fields, including but not limited to both active and passive EO/IR remote sensing, light/matter interactions, material properties, and optical propagation. Tasks will span multiple APL business areas. Develop and market proposals to both external and internal customers.
Group management: support task planning, strategic planning, capital and facility planning, and coordination of assignments across the group.
Document task results via memoranda, briefings, conference proceedings, and journal articles.
