Yorkshire Autumn Graduate Recruitment Fair

Dstl

Exhibiting: Tuesday 3rd November 2009

Dstl, the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory, is a trading fund of the Ministry of Defence (MOD) and its trusted adviser on defence-related science and technology and much of our work has to be confidential. But behind the scenes, approx 3,500 of the most talented, inspirational and innovative scientists in their fields are pushing back the frontiers of knowledge, delivering solutions that impact on the security of the UK.

We help to keep the MOD, the Armed Forces and the security services ahead of the increasingly complex challenges they face on the battlefield and the home front - defining threats, devising effective countermeasures, and advising on future policy.

Graduate Opportunities

The work that we do is extraordinarily diverse and the range of skills we need reflects that.
