The NuSec Security Science Network is pleased to announce a competition for up to 10 short-term �PDRA support grants� worth up to �15,000 each, to research Nuclear Security network-related topics.

Grants are intended to support the direct salary costs of PDRAs so that they can work 100% 3 months (full time) or pro rata for longer if other support is provided. The PDRA can either be a new position, or an extension to an existing post.

Proposals must support the aims of the NuSec network, to deliver research or impact activities which have clear objectives in Nuclear Security Science.

Priority will be given to proposals which support the three main areas of activity covered by the network to date:

1. Detection systems for nuclear security

2. Algorithms, data and autonomous decision making

3. Alternative technologies for industrial use of radiation sources

Applications (no more than 2 side of A4) must be submitted by 1st June 2018 to info@nusec.uk.��Results will be announced on 1st July 2018. If you interested in applying please visit the NuSec website�http://www.nusec.uk/nusec-network-post-doctoral-support-(pdra)-support-grants/�for more details.
