Summary
POST-DOCTORAL POSITIONS IN COMPUTATIONAL CONTINUUM MECHANICS: The Fluid Dynamics and Solid Mechanics Group (T-3) seeks outstanding candidates for several post-doctoral research opportunities in the general areas of theoretical and computational fluid dynamics, solid mechanics, materials modeling, and algorithm development for multi-material and coupled-physics applications. The Fluid Dynamics and Solid Mechanics Group (T-3) conducts research in theoretical and computational continuum mechanics including modeling and simulation of deforming fluid and solid systems over multiple physical length and time scales. The group's portfolio of research projects places an emphasis on coupling advanced models and numerical methods for materials dynamics at all velocities with models for other physical processes; including multiphase flows, granular flows, chemical reactions, phase change, heat and mass transfer, plasma behavior, and combustion. This is a multi-disciplinary group with backgrounds and experience in diverse fields of engineering, applied physics, and applied mathematics. Our customers include the National Nuclear Security Administration's Nuclear Weapons Program, other Department of Energy offices, the Department of Defense, and private industry. Collaborations with academia also are encouraged.
Required Skills
A strong background and demonstrated research experience in theoretical modeling and numerical computation of hydrodynamics and shock physics, high-rate solid deformations, multiphase and granular flows, or a related field of physics, mathematics, or engineering; excellent oral and written communication skills; and the ability to work in both team and independent research environments.
Education
A Ph.D. in engineering, physics, or a related field completed within the last five years or soon to be completed also is required.
Pre-Employment Drug Test
The Laboratory requires successful applicants to complete a pre-employment drug test and maintains a substance abuse policy that includes random drug testing.
Government Conflict of Interest
To ensure that you and LANL avoid any potential conflicts of interest, all current/former Government Officials must read and respond, if applicable, to the LANL Applicant Disclosure Form.
