Livermore California, United States LLNL Full time
Job Description

We have multiple openings for Design Physics - Postdoctoral Researchers.  We invite PhD graduates from a variety of STEM fields (including, but not limited to, the various physics disciplines, engineering, experimental science, computational physics, planetary science, chemistry, or material science) to apply for one of our Postdoctoral Research Fellowships.  We will work with successful candidates to tailor a postdoctoral project and select a mentor to support each individual’s development.  This opportunity is intended for individuals who have finished their PhD and wish to further develop their skills, knowledge, and/or abilities to better position themselves for a future staff position within the Design Physics Division or elsewhere at LLNL.

Our postdoc positions are atypical – we select highly qualified candidates based on demonstrated research aptitude and then customize the project assignment to fit their abilities and interests as well as our needs. Recent projects have involved the physics of Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF), turbulence and fluid instabilities, atomistic and continuum models of transport, planetary defense, diagnostic development, computational solid and fluid dynamics, chemical physics, particle and radiation transport algorithm development, and uncertainty quantification. This position is in the Design Physics Division within the Strategic Deterrence (SD) Directorate.

In this role, you will

Develop new tools, algorithms, and/or design new experiments to further our scientific understanding.

Conduct research on the use of massively parallel computer platforms to solve scientific challenges.

Conduct research in a topical area using theory, experiment, and/or simulation tools.

Pursue independent (but complementary) research interests and interact with a broad spectrum of scientists internally and externally to the Laboratory.

Publish research results in peer-reviewed scientific or technical journals, and present results at external conferences, seminars and/or technical meetings.

Recognize and support plans to promote and foster a culture of inclusion, diversity, equity, and accountability within the workplace.

Perform other duties as assigned.
