About this position

Los Alamos National Laboratory is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate for the C-PCS Physical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy Group in Los Alamos, New Mexico. The appointment is part of LANL's Chemistry Postdoctoral Program, a research environment spanning basic and applied chemistry, energy research, threat identification and mitigation, weapons science, health, space, and other national-security-related missions.

The successful researcher will contribute to spectroscopy and detection science, with an emphasis on optical system design, laser systems, spectroscopy physics, spectroscopic techniques, and associated instrumentation. The broader Chemistry Division connects physical and applied spectroscopy with radiochemistry and nuclear science, chemical analysis and certification, isotope science and production, synthetic and mechanistic chemistry, chemistry of materials, and data analysis and modelling for chemical sciences.

Research is carried out in a scientifically rich, multidisciplinary research and development setting. The postdoctoral researcher will be expected to conduct independent and collaborative work, communicate findings through research presentations and peer-reviewed publications, and contribute to laboratory projects and partnerships involving academic and industry collaborators. Depending on the project, the work may combine controlled laboratory experiments, outdoor field activities, user-facility visits, computational data analysis, programming, data acquisition, and instrumentation development.

LANL offers opportunities to advance knowledge in basic and applied research while supporting national scientific and technical capabilities. The position is based onsite within the Laboratory's northern New Mexico research environment and is connected to a broad portfolio of chemical science and technology activities.

Funding details

The posting does not state a postdoctoral stipend or tuition funding. The employment benefits package includes medical, dental, and vision insurance; basic life and disability insurance; paid childbirth and parental leave; a 401(k) plan with matching and annual contributions; learning opportunities and tuition assistance; flexible schedules and paid time off; onsite gyms and wellness programs; and relocation support outside a 50-mile radius.

What's required

Applicants must have a PhD in chemistry, physics, engineering, or a related field completed within the past five years or expected to be completed before hiring. Required qualifications include at least one first-author paper submitted to or published in a peer-reviewed journal; strong technical, interpersonal, oral, written, and language communication skills; a creative and proactive approach to scientific problem-solving; the ability to meet research deliverables and deadlines; and the ability to work in a multidisciplinary research team. Applicants must have expertise in optical system design, laser systems, spectroscopy physics, spectroscopic techniques, and related equipment. Desired qualifications include experience in synthetic inorganic or organic chemistry, physical chemistry, spectrometry, research proposals, controlled laboratory and field work, data analysis and programming in Python, MATLAB, or C++, data acquisition systems or FPGAs, and basic electronics. A cover letter and complete curriculum vitae with the specified academic, professional, publication, presentation, award, grant, patent, and reference information are required. The successful applicant must be eligible to obtain a DOE Q clearance, generally requiring U.S. citizenship, and must satisfy applicable federal background, authorization, and drug-testing requirements.

How to apply

Create or activate a LANL Jobs account, locate vacancy IRC145519, and complete the online application. Upload a cover letter addressing the minimum and desired qualifications and a complete current CV. Applicants may send inquiries and application materials as instructed; technical issues can be directed to [email protected].
