What Your Job Will Be Like
The Materials and Failure Modeling Department is seeking a highly motivated individual to join our diverse and inclusive team and contribute to ongoing computational solid mechanics research, development, and analysis.
On any given day, you will have the opportunity to:
- Apply the principles of solid mechanics within the framework of the finite element method to support the research and development of computational mechanics tools for fracture and failure.
- Use state-of-the-art finite element codes and world-class computational resources to support the design, development, and qualification of complex engineering materials and systems.
- Partner with in-house code development teams to develop, implement, and use state-of-the-art computational mechanics tools.
- Partner with experimentalists and other computational mechanicians to inform and improve existing computational mechanics methods and models.
- Contribute to a wide variety of emerging research and development efforts at Sandia.
- Develop a robust research portfolio through peer-reviewed journal publications, conference presentations, and participation in professional societies.
Postdoctoral Appointee Salary is $98,500.00/annual for NM Location.
Due to the nature of the work, the selected applicant must be able to work onsite.
Qualifications We Require
- PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Applied Mechanics, Aerospace Engineering, Civil Engineering, or a related field
- Background in the foundations of solid mechanics, including strength of materials, continuum mechanics, mechanics of materials, and/or applied mathematics
- Experience with programming languages such as C, C++, Julia, Python, and/or Rust
- Strong communication skills as evidenced by peer-reviewed publications and/or external presentations at appropriate scientific conferences
- Ability to obtain and maintain a DOE Q clearance
- Experience performing finite element calculations and/or with finite element theories
- Experience with cohesive surface elements and/or related finite elements
- Experience with constitutive model development and thermodynamic theory
- Experience with software development and modern software practices
- Experience with fracture mechanics and related computational methods
The Materials and Failure Modeling Department performs material mechanics R&D, develops advanced engineering models, and deploys state-of-the-art computational capabilities to enable physically credible prediction of material behavior and failure in support of Sandia's mission. Core capabilities developed and maintained by the department include adaptive material and failure models, robust computational material libraries covering events from aging to shock physics, effective model calibration methodologies, and quantification of margin and uncertainty of material models.
Work towards your goals while making a difference
Posting Duration
This posting will be open for application submissions for a minimum of seven (7) calendar days, including the 'posting date'. Sandia reserves the right to extend the posting date at any time.
Security Clearance
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 Q-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 DOE, resulting in the inability to perform the duties assigned and subsequent termination of employment.
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.
NNSA Requirements for MedPEDs
If you have a Medical Portable Electronic Device (MedPED), such as a pacemaker, defibrillator, drug-releasing pump, hearing aids, or diagnostic equipment and other equipment for measuring, monitoring, and recording body functions such as heartbeat and brain waves, if employed by Sandia National Laboratories you may be required to comply with NNSA security requirements for MedPEDs.
If you have a MedPED and you are selected for an on-site interview at Sandia National Laboratories, there may be additional steps necessary to ensure compliance with NNSA security requirements prior to the interview date.
Position Information
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.
