About this position
John von Neumann Fellowship 2027 is a postdoctoral fellowship in computational science at Sandia National Laboratories, one of the United States’ major science and engineering laboratories for national security and technology innovation.
The fellow will pursue self-directed research in the broad domain of computational and applied mathematics, while also integrating with existing Sandia research and development projects under the guidance of Sandia staff mentors. The fellowship is designed for work that is mathematically grounded and relevant to computational, scientific, engineering, or analysis challenges at Sandia.
The research scope is intentionally broad and spans areas such as algorithm analysis, applied probability, combinatorial scientific computing, control theory, data science, discrete mathematics, discretization methods, graph algorithms, high-performance computing, integral equations and nonlocal models, inverse problems, linear and multilinear algebra, mathematical analysis, meshing, modeling and simulation, multilevel/multiphysics/multiscale methods, numerical analysis, operations research, optimization, ordinary and partial differential equations, numerical solvers, quantum information science, scientific machine learning, statistical inference, time integration, and uncertainty quantification.
Applications are sought for research that advances computational methods for scientific and engineering applications relevant to Sandia’s mission areas, including additive manufacturing, circuit simulation, computational fluid dynamics, computational solid mechanics, cyber security, Earth systems, electrical systems, electromagnetics, hyperspectral imaging, machine learning, magneto-hydrodynamics, MEMS, material design, molecular dynamics, power grid, sensor data fusion, shock physics, signal processing, subsurface flow and mechanics, and turbulence modeling.
Sandia describes the fellowship as highly prestigious and expects fellows to disseminate results through leading journals and top-tier conferences. The lab emphasizes a highly collaborative multidisciplinary research environment with strong computational infrastructure, large-scale clusters, and specialized computing systems.

Highly competitive salary, moving expenses, and a generous professional travel allowance; one-year appointment with option of a second year.
What's required
Applicants must have or expect to receive a Ph.D. in applied/computational mathematics or a related area such as computer science, engineering, or statistics, conferred after January 1, 2023 and no later than August 2027. Candidates must have research experience in one or more of the listed areas, evidenced by a strong record of publications and presentations, and must submit a compelling mathematical research proposal relevant to computational, scientific, engineering, or analysis work at Sandia. Applicants must have appropriate background and experience for the proposed work. Due to U.S. export-control laws, only U.S. Persons (U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, asylees, or refugees) are eligible. Desired qualifications include strong collaboration and communication skills, commitment to diversity and inclusion, community leadership, relevant professional experience, software development experience in C++, C, Fortran, MATLAB, R, Python, Julia, or similar languages, and experience with high-performance scientific computing and large-scale simulation software.
