Message:

We are seeking a PhD computational and/or theoretical chemist with successful postdoctoral experience to join our efforts synthesizing and characterizing innovative materials to support defense, industrial, and scientific advancements. Diverse projects including the design and device implementation of semiconducting conjugated polymers; modeling the intermolecular interaction of nanoparticles with polymeric matrices; and migration of electrolytic components through separator membranes are current topics of interest to our team. The successful candidate will be explicitly expected to engage in SNL mission work in addition to basic R&D. Mission work will align with the department¿s focus to provide materials expertise to SNL¿s non-nuclear components. The candidate is expected to have a background in modeling from first principles. A close partnership with experimental chemists, engineers, and physics will be utilized to help understand and predict materials properties. The candidate must show aptitude with verbal and written communication and have publication record in leading peer-reviewed journals to demonstrate their expertise. New staff members are expected to write independent proposals for both internal and external funding. We expect to hire someone who can bring their talents to a multidisciplinary team and work collectively to address challenging problems. Publication and participation in National Scientific Societies is strongly encouraged. Travel will be required. Applies integrated technical judgment--which requires using the scientific method to recognize and formulate problems, to collect data through observation and experimentation, and to formulate and test hypotheses--to anticipate, innovate, and deliver solutions to Sandia National Laboratories missions. Roots the work in the fundamentals of science and engineering while applying a deep understanding of engineering and scientific principles. Creates and applies scientific theories and laws and engineering methods used within scientific and engineering disciplines to develop or demonstrate new designs, concepts, materials, machines, products, processes, or systems. Uses physical and computational simulation, analysis, and evaluation as inherent activities of development. Plans, conducts, and executes Sandia's science and engineering programs within the spectrum of fundamental research, development, or demonstration. Participates in the development and application of computational capabilities to solve problems in science and engineering. Applies methods and techniques that merge disciplines in science and engineering with computer science. Includes the research, development, deployment and in-depth technical support of general scientific and engineering application software and related tools. Primary Job Duties Plans, conceives, conducts, or manages research and development for Sandia's customers and sponsors. Directs systematic study toward a fuller knowledge or understanding of the fundamental aspects of phenomena and of observable facts, and discovers new approaches to achieve goals. Creates new understandings and capabilities by using the scientific method's hypothesis, test, and evaluation techniques; critical review; or similar engineering research and development methods. Initiates, designs, develops, executes, and evaluates new processes, products, or systems through basic and applied research. Uses engineering principles to research, design, or develop structures, instruments, machines, experiments, processes, systems, theories, or technologies; to construct or operate the same with full cognizance of their design; or to forecast their behavior under specific operating conditions. Undertakes development and possible technology transfer of solutions, products, principles or technology. Undertakes creative work, making systematic use of investigation or experimentation, to discover or revise knowledge of reality, and uses this knowledge to devise new applications.
