About Our Team


The Geochemistry Department has expertise in three areas: 1) molecular-scale
modeling, 2) experimental geochemistry, and 3) applied
environmental/chemical engineering. We tackle geosciences-related problems
with an application for carbon sequestration, unconventional oil and gas
recovery, nuclear waste management, and environmental remediation. In
addition, we reach beyond the subsurface environment looking at nuclear
weapons applications and air-borne contaminant detection and removal.
Program focus is currently on chemical effects on fracture initiation and
propagation, heterogeneous redox chemistry on clay mineral surfaces, coupled
geochemistry and geomechanics in shales, and permeable reactive barriers for
soil radionuclide remediation. Computing facilities for molecular modeling
include a cluster (CPU nodes, GPU nodes) maintained by the Geochemistry
Department as well as the Sandia High Performance Computing. In addition, we
have 3,000 square feet of laboratory space that includes the following
analytical equipment: XRD, FTIR, ICP-MS, ICP-OES, TOF-MS, and SEM.

Security Clearance


This position does not currently require a Department of Energy (DOE)
security clearance.

Sandia will conduct a pre-employment drug test and background review that
includes checks of personal references, credit, law enforcement records, and
employment/education verifications. Furthermore, employees in New Mexico
need to pass a U.S. Air Force background screen for access to Kirtland Air
Force Base. Substance abuse or illegal drug use, falsification of
information, criminal activity, serious misconduct or other indicators of
untrustworthiness can cause access to be denied or terminated, resulting in
the inability to perform the duties assigned and subsequent termination of
employment.

If hired without a clearance and it subsequently becomes necessary to obtain
and maintain one for the position, or you bid on positions that require a
clearance, a pre-processing background review may be conducted prior to a
required federal background investigation. Applicants for a DOE security
clearance need to be U.S. citizens. 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.

Members of the workforce (MOWs) hired at Sandia who require uncleared access
for greater than 179 days during their employment, are required to go
through the Uncleared Personal Identity Verification (UPIV) process. Access
includes physical and/or cyber (logical) access, as well as remote access to
any NNSA information technology (IT) systems. UPIV requirements are not
applicable to individuals who require a DOE personnel security clearance for
the performance of their SNL employment or to foreign nationals. The UPIV
process will include the completion of a USAccess Enrollment, SF-85
(Questionnaire for Non-Sensitive Positions) and OF-306 (Declaration of for
Federal Employment). An unfavorable UPIV determination will result in
immediate retrieval of the SNL issued badge, removal of cyber (logical)
access and/or removal from SNL subcontract.  All MOWs may appeal the
unfavorable UPIV determination to DOE/NNSA immediately. If the appeal is
unsuccessful, the MOW may try to go through the UPIV process one year after
the decision date.


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.
