Job Description

About Sandia 
Sandia National Laboratories is the nation's premier science and engineering lab for national security and technology innovation. We are a world-class team of scientists, engineers, technologists, post docs, and visiting researchers all focused on cutting-edge technology, ranging from homeland defense, global security, biotechnology, and environmental preservation to energy and combustion research, computer security, and nuclear defense.

Department Description 
The Combustion Chemistry and Diagnostics Department is part of Sandia's Combustion Research Facility (CRF) in Livermore, California, where over 100 scientists, engineers, and technologists conduct basic and applied research to improve our nation's ability to use and control combustion processes efficiently and cleanly. Under the principal sponsorship of the Department of Energy's Office of Basic Energy Sciences, the Combustion Chemistry and Diagnostics Department conducts fundamental experimental, theoretical, and modeling research to develop a foundational understanding of the key chemical processes that underlie the complex mechanisms of combustion. Additional programs investigate the effects of combustion emissions on atmospheric composition and climate. Research areas include chemical dynamics and spectroscopy, theoretical and experimental chemical kinetics, flame chemistry and modeling, and gas-phase and particulate diagnostics development and deployment.

Job Description 
Postdoctoral Appointee 
The Post-Doctoral Appointee Program is designed to recruit outstanding Ph.D. applicants to assist a line organization in meeting its mission objectives and to provide a professional technical work environment for the employee. The Ph.D. must have been conferred within one to five years prior to employment. These assignments are for a one-year period, with the option at management¿s discretion to serve no more than five additional one-year assignments. Extensions of up to six years require employee's manager approval.

Primary Job Duties 
The Combustion Research Facility's Chemistry Department has an immediate opening for a postdoctoral position in the field of theoretical chemistry and/or theoretical chemical kinetics. The primary task of the postdoc will be to work with Ahren Jasper (sandia.gov/~ajasper) and other CRF scientists in the development, validation, and application of new theoretical methods and codes for characterizing the detailed chemistry of combustion. Areas of active research include: nonadiabatic dynamics and kinetics, direct transition state theory calculations, predicting vibrational anharmonicity at high internal energies, trajectory simulations of collisional energy transfer, master equation development, and potential surface development. This position is funded by the Department of Energy's Basic Energy Sciences program.

Required 
A Ph.D. in chemistry, physics, or a closely related field, with an emphasis on theoretical physical chemistry is required. The candidate must have scientific programming experience and a substantial interest in code development.

Desired 
A good understanding of gas-phase chemical kinetics and/or dynamics, experience with parallel programming, and familiarity with popular chemical kinetics, electronic structure, and/or chemical modeling codes is desired.

Security Clearance 
No clearance required.

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

Sandia will conduct a pre-employment background review that includes personal reference checks, law enforcement record checks, and employment and education verifications. Further, employees in New Mexico must pass a U.S. Air Force background screen for access to the work site. 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, rendering the inability to perform the duties assigned and resulting in termination of employment.

If hired without a clearance, and one subsequently becomes required or you bid on positions that require a DOE-granted security clearance, a pre-processing background review that includes personal reference checks, law enforcement record and credit checks, and employment and education verifications may be conducted prior to a required federal background investigation. Applicants for DOE-granted security clearances must be U.S. citizens and be able to obtain and maintain the appropriate DOE security clearance as required for the position.

Benefits 
At Sandia you will receive many benefits as a valued employee of a premier national multi-program engineering and science research laboratory. In our Total Rewards package you will enjoy competitive pay, great benefits, a stimulating, positive environment and learning opportunities that will help build your career. More information may be found on our Careers website.
