About this position

Los Alamos National Laboratory is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join the XTD-DO Theoretical Design organization in Los Alamos, New Mexico. XTD is the nuclear weapons design division at LANL, supporting national security through advanced multiphysics simulations on high-performance supercomputers.

The postdoctoral researcher will work with XTD scientists in areas including hydrodynamics, nonlinear fluid dynamics, plasma physics, and dynamic material properties. The research involves computational tools for analyzing experimental data, designing new experiments, and advancing modeling and simulation methods. The work connects theory, computation, and experimentation in a multidisciplinary environment.

The researcher will collaborate with LANL scientists and engineers, as well as researchers at other national laboratories and universities. The broader team includes specialists in physics, astrophysics, applied mathematics, nuclear and mechanical engineering, and materials science, offering an environment for cross-disciplinary research in computational physics and national-security science.

The appointment is suited to researchers interested in numerical methods, scientific software, high-performance computing, experimental design, and the development of predictive models for complex physical systems.

Funding details

The starting salary for a new graduate is currently $97,000. The position includes competitive salaries based on Ph.D. completion or award date, medical, dental, and vision insurance, life and disability insurance, paid maternity and parental leave, a 401(k) plan with 6% matching plus 3.5% annually, learning opportunities and tuition assistance, flexible schedules, paid sick and vacation time, holidays, wellness programs, and relocation assistance for moves from outside a 50-mile radius.

What's required

Applicants must have a Ph.D. in physics, astrophysics, applied mathematics, nuclear engineering, mechanical engineering, materials science, or a related discipline completed within the last five years, or must complete all Ph.D. requirements by the appointment start. Candidates need knowledge of or the ability to learn UNIX/Linux, Python or similar scripting languages, scientific software, numerical methods, and computational physics. Effective written, oral, and interpersonal communication, publication experience, experimental-design leadership or support, and cross-disciplinary collaboration are required or desired.
