Phone: 607-255-9199

Member Profile: Cornell University has an internationally renowned research effort in the areas of security, reliability, scalability and associated application-design challenges for critical infrastructure protection.  A good example of past work is our research on the Astrolabe system [1], which has application to monitoring and control in the electric power grid [2].  The Cornell group in this area often hosts post-doctoral fellows but under a highly selective procedure limited not just by funding but also by space, experimental laboratories and resources.  Applicants must expect to be screened by an initial telephone interview and, if successful at that stage, will be required to visit, meet with the entire Cornell team, and to give a research talk on the topic of their doctoral research.

Phone: (703) 413-1100 x5414

Member Profile: The RAND Corporation, a nonprofit research organization, provides objective analysis and effective solutions that address challenges facing the public and private sectors, reflecting the changing nature of a global society. All RAND work is held to exacting standards that are the foundation of RAND’s impeccable reputation throughout the world.

RAND improves policy and decision-making through research and analysis. RAND anticipates emerging issues, establishes new angles of inquiry, and maps the territory for responses by government, business, and society. At times, sponsors or clients may ask RAND to deliver research without suggesting a specific course of action. At other times, RAND may provide a range of solutions with an analysis of advantages and disadvantages. On certain occasions, RAND may formulate or even support clear-cut policy recommendations. What remains constant is RAND’s commitment to public service.

A RAND I3P Post-Doctoral Fellow will perform research in RAND’s Homeland Security Program, which supports the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies charged with preventing and mitigating the effects of terrorist activity within U.S. borders. Projects in this program include critical infrastructure protection, emergency management, terrorism risk management, border control (particularly ports), first responders and preparedness, domestic threat assessments, domestic intelligence, and manpower and training.
