About this position
Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is advertising a Postdoctoral Researcher in Applied Nuclear Physics within the P-2 Applied & Fundamental Physics Group in Los Alamos, New Mexico, United States.
The role sits on the Advanced Diagnostics Development and Integration team and focuses on the development of the Neutron-Diagnosed Subcritical Experiment (NDSE) diagnostic platform. The successful candidate will support subsystem development, deployment of the system at the NNSS, and applied nuclear physics research for the subcritical experimental program.
Research areas and keywords: applied nuclear physics, experimental nuclear physics, neutron/gamma/charged-particle detection, radiation detection, particle/radiation transport simulations, detector development, data analysis, Geant4, MCNP, C++, Python, ROOT, and statistical analysis.
Eligibility highlights: applicants should have a PhD in nuclear physics, particle physics, nuclear engineering, or a related field completed within the past five years or soon to be completed. The post also asks for strong communication skills, the ability to work independently and in interdisciplinary teams, willingness to travel regularly, and the ability to obtain and maintain a DOE Q clearance, which typically requires US citizenship.
Funding and duration: this is a two-year postdoctoral appointment, with a possible third year depending on performance and funding.
