Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command's Central Identification Laboratory (JPAC CIL)
The Research Participation Program for the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command's Central Identification Laboratory (JPAC CIL) provides opportunities to participate in JPAC CIL on-going applied research and development projects. JPAC's mission is to achieve the fullest possible accounting of all U.S. servicemembers lost during our nation's previous conflicts. JPAC CIL is the only facility of its type in the world; its responsibility is to conduct archaeological excavations to recover the remains of missing servicemembers and attempt to identify the remains in a laboratory environment. As the largest forensic anthropology laboratory in operation and the only anthropology lab accredited under the American Society of Crime Lab Directors-Laboratory Accreditation Board (ASCLD-LAB), the CIL is home to a staff of approximately 30 civilian forensic anthropologists. These individuals have advanced degrees with expertise in skeletal analysis as well as archaeology.
Additionally, the staff includes three forensic odontologists (or dentists) who are all military officers. Project areas include Forensic Anthropology, Archeology, Biological Anthropology, History, and more. Applications are accepted on a continuous basis
