What Your Job Will Be Like
The Radiation and Fusion Target Design department has an opening for a postdoctoral physicist emphasizing design of imploding targets for the Z machine.
A particular area of emphasis will be on design of multi-layer MagLIF targets in the presence of pulse shaping.
Most Z fusion experiments utilize a synchronous short pulse waveform to provide maximum power to the target and minimize time for instability growth.
However, the recent proposal of multi-layer targets utilizing heterogeneous materials opens the design space to improve performance by considering differences in material response.
A successful applicant for this position will utilize multi-physics codes to design and assess target concepts that exploit differences in material response under tailored current drive.
If promising designs are identified, work will also include work with a large team of experimentalists and technologists to execute and diagnose these experiments on the Z machine. The successful candidate will perform the following duties: Partner on the design and analysis of experimental campaigns at Z. Develop and apply multi-physics modeling tools to design and assess target concepts for Z experiments. Represent the research and development in the organization through publications in scientific journals and presentations at conferences. On any given day, you may be called on to: Collaborate as part of an integrated team to plan and execute research on magnetically driven inertial confinement fusion targets Work independently to design experiments and analyze simulation and diagnostic results Develop new understanding of layered target performance through computational modeling and comparison with experimental data Publish findings and engage with the broader scientific community
Due to the nature of the work, the selected applicant will be required to work onsite
Qualifications We Require
PhD in Physics, Applied Physics, Nuclear Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Astronomy, or a related discipline (PhD must be conferred within five (5) years prior to employment) Ability to obtain and maintain a DOE Q security clearance
Qualifications We Desire
Experience in the use of theory or computational tools to probe the nature of fusion-relevant plasmas A technical competency in the development of high energy density experiments, demonstrated through publications in refereed journals Excellent communication skills demonstrated through presentations at professional scientific conferences
About Our Team
Department 1684 works to design and analyze fusion and radiation producing experiments on Sandia's Z facility.
Scientists in the department use a variety of tools, including scientific computing, artificial intelligence and theoretical models to advance the frontiers of high energy density plasma experiments.
We have a close collaborative relationship with sister organizations tasked with performing Z experiments and developing diagnostics to better understand their characteristics.
This work enables new applications to stockpile science with pulsed power.
Posting Duration
This posting will be open for application submissions for a minimum of three (3) calendar days, including the 'posting date'. Sandia reserves the right to extend the posting date at any time.
Security Clearance
Sandia is required by DOE to conduct a pre-employment drug test and background review that includes checks of personal references, credit, law enforcement records, and employment/education verifications. Applicants for employment need to be able to obtain and maintain a DOE Q-level security clearance, which requires U.S. citizenship. If you hold more than one citizenship (i.e., of the U.S. and another country), your ability to obtain a security clearance may be impacted. Applicants offered employment with Sandia are subject to a federal background investigation to meet the requirements for access to classified information or matter if the duties of the position require a DOE security clearance. Substance abuse or illegal drug use, falsification of information, criminal activity, serious misconduct or other indicators of untrustworthiness can cause a clearance to be denied or terminated by DOE, resulting in the inability to perform the duties assigned and subsequent termination of employment.
EEO
All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, or veteran status and any other protected class under state or federal law.
NNSA Requirements for MedPEDs
If you have a Medical Portable Electronic Device (MedPED), such as a pacemaker, defibrillator, drug-releasing pump, hearing aids, or diagnostic equipment and other equipment for measuring, monitoring, and recording body functions such as heartbeat and brain waves, if employed by Sandia National Laboratories you may be required to comply with NNSA security requirements for MedPEDs. If you have a MedPED and you are selected for an on-site interview at Sandia National Laboratories, there may be additional steps necessary to ensure compliance with NNSA security requirements prior to the interview date.
Position Information
This postdoctoral position is a temporary position for up to one year, which may be renewed at Sandia's discretion up to five additional years. The PhD must have been conferred within five years prior to employment. Individuals in postdoctoral positions may bid on regular Sandia positions as internal candidates, and in some cases may be converted to regular career positions during their term if warranted by ongoing operational needs, continuing availability of funds, and satisfactory job performance.
