  *   Support team members by sharing results and providing/receiving feedback on work
  *   Modify existing code base to test a new hypothesis and write data analysis codes to interpret and illustrate results
  *   Develop methods to handle large data sets
  *   Attend a mini course to learn new technical skills
  *   Participate in journal article discussion groups and seminar series
  *   Draft publications, reports, and presentations

Due to the nature of the work, the selected applicant must be able to work onsite

Qualifications We Require:

  *   PhD in geophysics, computer science, electrical engineering, seismology, or closely related field
  *   Ability to obtain and maintain a DOE Q-level security clearance

Qualifications We Desire:

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.

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.
