About this position

Sandia National Laboratories is seeking a Postdoctoral Appointee for research in explosive technology maturation and advanced programming in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The work is part of an explosives technology group focused on future technologies and manufacturing approaches for actuators, igniters, timers, detonators, and isolators.

The postdoctoral researcher will investigate how energetic materials respond to thermal and mechanical damage. One research direction examines slow thermal heating, thermal runaway, ignition, reaction, and transition to detonation. Activities include designing and conducting experiments, analyzing experimental data, measuring evolving thermal damage, and developing physics-based models that explain pre-runaway and runaway behavior.

A second direction addresses the dynamic response of energetic materials under mechanical loading. This includes conducting low-strain-rate damage experiments, developing methods to measure evolving material damage, and creating theories and models that describe material changes under dynamic loads.

The researcher will work with scientists, engineers, modelers, and a laboratory technologist. The research is expected to contribute to presentations and publications, with some travel for presenting results. The environment combines laboratory experimentation, energetic-material characterization, reactive-process analysis, and predictive computational modeling within a national-security research laboratory.
