What Your Job Will Be Like:
We are seeking a postdoctoral appointee to join a materials
chemistry group that develops materials for extreme environment
applications. A primary focus will be to support a
multidisciplinary team who are evaluating extreme environment
materials for aerospace and hypersonic applications. Candidate will
provide support for materials characterization through ground and
flight testing. Candidate will also be responsible for materials
fabrication. Successful candidates will be knowledgeable about
various composites such as carbon-carbon, ceramic matrix
composites, and other fiber reinforced polymers.
Due to the nature of the work, the selected applicant must be able
to work onsite.
Qualifications We Require:
Qualifications We Desire:
About Our Team:
The Electronic, Optical and Nanomaterials Department provides
innovation in the design, synthesis and development of advanced,
multifunctional materials to satisfy unique needs in electronic,
optical, electrochemical, structural and
selective-molecular-binding applications. We control chemical and
structural characteristics, from the nano- to the micro-scale, in
inorganic and hybrid systems to explore new material constructs and
strategies aimed at optimizing and expanding material performance.
Our efforts support DOE Defense Programs, DOE Energy Efficiency &
Renewable Energy, DOE Electricity Distribution and Energy
Reliability offices, other federal agencies and industry. In
addition, we pursue partnerships with universities and establish
ongoing collaborations with other experts in the field to leverage
our research investments while participating in, and contributing
to, the international research community. Research thrusts include
nanoparticle, nanofiber, and atomic layer deposited materials, thin
films, passive and active materials for electronic, magnetic,
photonic, electromechanical, and fluidic microsystems,
self-assembly, and colloid chemistry.
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.
