About this position

Sandia National Laboratories is hiring a Postdoctoral Researcher in Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing (DFOS) with a focus on Distributed Strain Sensing (DSS), seismology, geophysics, and seismic modeling. The role is based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States and is described as a hybrid position with onsite/offsite work.

The research involves developing analysis methods for DSS data from short-length fiber optic cables, interpreting in-situ stress conditions before and after experiments, building and designing 3D geophysical models, and running seismic simulations for source and earth characterization algorithms. The team also works on stress characterization and explosion monitoring, with opportunities to publish in peer-reviewed journals and present at scientific conferences.

Eligibility highlights: applicants must have a PhD in geophysics, seismology, or another relevant field; experience with scientific programming such as Python or MATLAB; strong written and verbal communication skills; and the ability to obtain and maintain a DOE Q-level security clearance, which requires U.S. citizenship. Preferred experience includes Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS), other DFOS technologies, fiber optic sensing, signal processing, data analysis, stress characterization, and geophysical modeling.

Funding: this is a temporary postdoctoral appointment for up to one year, renewable at Sandia’s discretion for up to five additional years. The annual salary is $100,500.

How to apply: submit an application through the Sandia job portal using the provided Apply Now link. The posting says it will remain open for at least three calendar days and may be extended.
