What Your Job Will Be Like Are you passionate about your work and dream of influencing the future of organic materials and optimizing their performance? Join a diverse team that solves significant issues for our nation’s security!
We are seeking a Postdoctoral Appointee to join our team conducting research related to coupled physics in complex, multiphase fluid flow. You should have a strong background in solving coupled multi-physics problems especially multiphase fluid dynamics, and transport. Knowledge in the areas of electromagnetics, thermal and species transport, or complex rheology would be beneficial. Under the guidance of members of the technical staff, you will develop advanced computational models for numerical simulation of coupled problems involving free surface flows and complex rheology. On any given day, you may be called on to:
This postdoctoral position is a temporary position for up to one year, which may be renewed at Sandia's discretion up to five additional years. The PhD must have been conferred within five years prior to employment.
Individuals in postdoctoral positions may bid on regular Sandia positions as internal candidates, and in some cases may be converted to regular career positions during their term if warranted by ongoing operational needs, continuing availability of funds, and satisfactory job performance. About Our Team The Fluid and Reactive Processes department is responsible for conducting research on coupled transport phenomena (mass, momentum, energy, etc.) for processes that span multiple length and time scales (nano -> meso -> macroscale) in support of internal and external customers. This research is applied to the flow of and within disordered, multiphase or heterogeneous materials (e..g., complex and reacting fluids, powders and particulate materials, and energetic materials) for assessing production, safety and performance of weapon components. This research is used to develop validated numerical predictive tools that we apply to DOE, DOD, and industrial customer problems. Our work spans fundamental research and development to engineering analysis of applied problems. Our basic research activities focus on developing the scientific insights and physical models that will enhance our predictive simulation capabilities. Application projects range from small modeling efforts requiring rapid and agile turnaround to high consequence applications with an emphasis on credibility of model results by exercising and advancing sound V&V/UQ practices. We work closely with experimentalists and code developers to improve the fidelity of supporting tests and to ensure needed code functionality is available. About Sandia Sandia National Laboratories is the nation’s premier science and engineering lab for national security and technology innovation, with teams of specialists focused on cutting-edge work in a broad array of areas. Some of the main reasons we love our jobs:

*These benefits vary by job classification. EEO All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, or veteran status and any other protected class under state or federal law. Qualifications We Require
Sandia is required by DOE to conduct a pre-employment drug test and background review that includes checks of personal references, credit, law enforcement records, and employment/education verifications. Applicants for employment need to be able to obtain and maintain a DOE L-level security clearance, which requires U.S. citizenship. If you hold more than one citizenship (i.e., of the U.S. and another country), your ability to obtain a security clearance may be impacted. Applicants offered employment with Sandia are subject to a federal background investigation to meet the requirements for access to classified information or matter if the duties of the position require a DOE security clearance. Substance abuse or illegal drug use, falsification of information, criminal activity, serious misconduct or other indicators of untrustworthiness can cause a clearance to be denied or terminated by the DOE, resulting in the inability to perform the duties assigned and subsequent termination of employment.
