Join us

evident is a growing research lab. We are seeking postdoctoral researchers, graduate students, and collaborators who want to bring science, engineering, and public policy together to understand and reduce the risks posed by nuclear weapons.

Current openings


Postdoctoral
Researcher

We are recruiting postdoctoral researchers to work on nuclear war effects modeling, verification technologies, and other areas of nuclear security research. Candidates with backgrounds in nuclear engineering, physics, earth science, computer science, and related fields are encouraged to apply.

PhD in Nuclear Engineering and Engineering Physics (NEEP)

Graduate students interested in pursuing a PhD should apply through the University of Wisconsin–Madison Department of Nuclear Engineering and Engineering Physics. Prospective students are encouraged to contact Prof. Philippe before applying.

MS in Nuclear Engineering and Engineering Physics (NEEP)

Students interested in pursuing a master’s degree can apply through the NEEP graduate program. Thesis and coursework-only options are available. Prospective students are encouraged to contact Prof. Philippe before applying.
