About this position

Sandia National Laboratories is seeking a Postdoctoral Appointee in Portable Sensing Systems for work in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The project focuses on developing next-generation portable chemical sensing systems for national security applications, with potential uses including detection of hazardous compounds, drugs of abuse, and related analytes.

The postdoctoral researcher will help develop and mature prototype sensing platforms and field-deployable analytical instruments. Work may include designing, building, integrating, and testing hardware and subsystems; contributing to instrument control and data acquisition; developing algorithms and signal-processing methods; and integrating hardware and software. The researcher may also develop sampling methods, thermal interfaces, and analytical workflows for portable detection platforms.

Laboratory characterization studies will evaluate detection performance, selectivity, sensitivity, analysis time, interferent response, and operational utility. Experiments using analytical chemistry equipment will guide system design and validate prototype performance. The role may also support operational testing, user evaluations, and field demonstrations with government stakeholders.

The work is interdisciplinary, bringing together chemists, engineers, physicists, and computer scientists to transition sensing technologies from laboratory prototypes toward deployable systems. The Biological and Chemical Sensors Department specializes in miniature chemical, biological, and explosives sensors in wearable, handheld, UAV, and fixed or installed formats. Its research environment includes nano-, micro-, and mesoscale fabrication, custom electronics through Sandia’s MESA facility, and capabilities supporting sensor development for field and point-of-care applications.

Funding details

The annual salary is $100,500. The position is temporary for up to one year and may be renewed at Sandia's discretion for up to five additional years. Sandia also describes benefits including medical coverage, a competitive 401(k), vacation, learning opportunities, relocation assistance, and flexible work arrangements, with benefits varying by job classification.

What's required
