About this position
Sandia National Laboratories is advertising a Postdoctoral Appointee position in First-Principles Materials Modeling in Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States.
The project focuses on density functional theory (DFT), magnetization dynamics, and equation-of-state (EOS) development, with an emphasis on improving the resolution of electron-phonon-magnon coupling. The work supports DOE-mission-relevant applications spanning fundamental EOS science and microelectronics, and is part of Sandia’s Computational Multiscale Department.
Applicants should have or be pursuing a PhD in Physics, Materials Science, Applied Mathematics, or a closely related field. Required experience includes DFT/electronic-structure methods, EOS development, or related materials modeling techniques, plus a publication record. The role also requires the ability to obtain and maintain a DOE Q-clearance, which requires U.S. citizenship.
Preferred experience includes wide-range EOS models, thermodynamic modeling under extreme conditions, plane-wave or localized-basis DFT codes, high-throughput automation, spin-Hamiltonian models, magnetization dynamics, strong C++ and Python programming, version control, unit testing, continuous integration, and large-scale HPC simulations.
This is a full-time onsite postdoctoral research appointment at Sandia National Laboratories. The posting does not list a stipend or salary, but it highlights Sandia benefits such as medical/dental/vision insurance, retirement savings, paid time off, and flexible work arrangements for eligible roles.
To apply, use the Apply Now link to the Sandia application portal and submit your materials online. The posting says applications will be accepted for at least three calendar days and may be extended.
