Employment Opportunities at the Environmental Measurements Laboratory (EML)

The Environmental Measurements Laboratory (EML), a government-owned, government-operated laboratory, is part of the Science and Technology (S&T) Directorate of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The Laboratory supports the efforts of the Office of Research and Development (ORD) to advance and apply the science and technology required for preventing, protecting against, and responding to radiological and nuclear events.

As an S&T ORD federal laboratory, EML's programs seek to improve the understanding of current and future threats through research, development, testing and evaluation.
