Job Title
Pulsed Magnet Designer PostdocLocation
Los Alamos, NM, USOrganization Name
MPA-MAG / Materials Physics and Applications DivisionWhat You Will Do
The Pulsed Field Facility (PFF) - National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) at LANL develops, builds and maintains the strongest pulsed magnets for scientific research. We have an immediate opening for a postdoctoral position in designing large-scale, high-field pulsed magnets. The successful candidate, in collaboration with other computational engineering team members, will develop and use finite element method (FEM) simulations to solve coupled, multi-engineering challenges for designing large magnet systems. The simulations will involve structural-thermal-electromagnetic analyses which can be developed/implemented in Fortran or a commercial software package such as COMSOL or ANSYS. The candidate may also be involved in other research activities related to the development, fabrication, and testing of new materials (special conductors, reinforcing materials, cryogenic materials...) and/or components of the magnet assembly. The PFF is located on the main LANL campus in Los Alamos, New Mexico.Qualifications We Require:
Extensive experience in multi-physics FEM simulations for large-scale systems involving structural-thermal-electromagnetic analyses.Programming skills in Fortran or experience with commercial multiphysics FEM tool(s) such as COMSOL or ANSYS packages.Ability to work in a team environment.A record of successful scientific publication and conference presentations.Demonstrated ability to communicate effectively (i.e., technically and interpersonally), at various staff levels both orally and/or in writing.Demonstrated commitment to Laboratory goals in assuring a healthy, safe, and secure working environment.Qualifications We Desire:
Experience in Java/C++/Matlab to automate any repetitive modeling processes using the application programming interface (API).Deep knowledge of the mechanical properties of different types of materials; experience with stress-strain measurements is not required but desirable.Hands-on experience in designing and constructing large-scale mechanical structures or devices.Experience with mechanical design software such as AutoCAD, Inventor.Education:
Candidates should have completed a Ph.D. in a relevant field such as mechanical engineering, applied physics, material sciences, or applied mathematics within the last five years.Work Environment:
Work Location: The work location for this position is onsite and located in Los Alamos, NM. All work locations are at the discretion of management.Salary:
Competitive salaries are based on the date the PhD degree requirements were completed or the degree was awarded. Starting salary for a new graduate is currently $94,500.Notes to Applicants:
Please submit a detailed cover letter with your resume addressing all applicable required and desired skills. Candidates may be considered for a Director's Fellowship, and outstanding candidates may be considered for the prestigious Marie Curie, Richard P. Feynman, J. Robert Oppenheimer, or Frederick Reines Fellowships.Where You Will Work
Located in beautiful northern New Mexico, Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is a multidisciplinary research institution engaged in strategic science on behalf of national security.Additional Details
Directive 206.2 - Employment with Triad requires a favorable decision by NNSA indicating the employee is suitable under NNSA Supplemental Directive 206.2. Please note that this requirement applies only to citizens of the United States. Foreign nationals are subject to a similar requirement under DOE Order 142.3A.*Eligibility requirements: To obtain a clearance, an individual must be at least 18 years of age; U.S. citizenship is required except in very limited circumstances. See DOE Order 472.2 for additional information.No Clearance: Position does not require a security clearance. Selected candidates will be subject to drug testing and other pre-employment background checks.New-Employment Drug Test: The Laboratory requires successful applicants to complete a new-employment drug test and maintains a substance abuse policy that includes random drug testing.Equal Opportunity: Los Alamos National Laboratory is an equal opportunity employer and supports a diverse and inclusive workforce.Appointment Type: Termed
