Organizational Setting

The Department of Safeguards carries out the IAEA’s duties and responsibilities as the world’s nuclear inspectorate, supporting global efforts to stop the spread of nuclear weapons. The primary role of the Department is to develop and implement IAEA safeguards to ensure that there is no diversion of declared nuclear material from peaceful activities and no indications of undeclared nuclear material or activities in a State as a whole.

The Department comprises nuclear safeguards inspectors, responsible for carrying out inspections and verifications of all-safeguards relevant information for nuclear facilities in over 180 States; and technical staff responsible for a wide range of activities including: developing concepts and approaches for implementing safeguards; developing and maintaining safeguards equipment; providing analytical and laboratory services for sample analysis; collecting, evaluating and analysing safeguards-relevant information; providing information and communication technology infrastructure and services; and providing programme coordination support.

The Division of Information Management (SGIM) implements state of the art methodologies and techniques for the collection, processing and analysis of a range of safeguards-relevant information, including declarations submitted by States, evaluations resulting from the analysis of samples or measurements collected during infield activities, and information from open sources, including nuclear trade-related data and satellite imagery. Staff perform data validation and complex information analysis and evaluation to support infield activities and provide key input to the State evaluation process.

Main Purpose

As part of the management team of the Division and reporting to the Director, the Section Head (Nuclear Fuel Cycle Information Analysis) leads and motivates the staff of the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Analysis Section in line with the strategic direction of the Division and Department, managing resources and driving process improvements to ensure the delivery of results. The Nuclear Fuel Cycle Analysis Section is responsible for: 1) ensuring the quality of verification data from all nuclear material samples, environmental samples and infield measurements collected by inspectors in nuclear fuel cycle facilities and sites; 2) comparing the resulting data with State-declared information with a view to detecting the possible diversion of nuclear material and undeclared material and activities; 3) contributing to the development of verification strategies to optimize detection probabilities of possible proliferation-related events, and 4) developing and implementing associated analytical tools and methodologies. The Section Head is responsible for ensuring high quality contributions to the Departmental collaborative analytical processes and efficient integration of the Section’s analytical outputs in the State evaluation process and other safeguards evaluation and implementation efforts.

Role

The Section Head is: 1) a leader and manager, providing guidance and motivation to the team and planning resources with a view to achieving efficient and effective results in accordance with strategic objectives; 2) a substantive expert in conducting analysis related to nuclear material accounting, environmental sampling, uncertainty quantification, and material balance evaluations, leveraging knowledge and experience in the use of advanced analytical techniques and methodologies; 3) an adviser on matters of policy, strategy and complex cases; and 4) a developer, implementer, and change manager of new strategies for improving processes and enhancing technologies and techniques.

Functions / Key Results Expected

Lead the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Information Analysis Section, motivate the team and promote internal and external collaboration in order to optimize resources in line with strategic objectives, establishing concrete objectives, milestones and performance indicators.
Ensure that the Section maintains an appropriate balance of skills and resources in its areas of responsibility through recruitment, training and mentoring.
Play a key role in State evaluations and support to Operations Divisions, specifically during the planning and preparation of infield sampling campaigns and the subsequent analysis of inspection data including sample evaluations (bulk measurements, environmental, destructive analysis (DA), non-destructive assay (NDA)).
Manage the development of work plans, project planning and integration of analytical results with informati
