Department Description
The Computer Sciences Group at Sandia National Laboratories/CA conducts research, development, and systems engineering in computer science and engineering to address important national security problems. Staff members work in multi-disciplinary teams and apply their expertise and software engineering skills to a wide range of applications for customers including the Departments of Energy, Defense, and Homeland Security. Staff members also regularly engage with external customers and sponsors.
The group does extensive software research, development, and deployment of:
- Scientific Computing: algorithms and software tools that enable modeling and simulation to play a major role in engineering design, certification, and manufacturing
- Knowledge Environments: Distributed tools and visualization technologies that enable secure scientific, engineering, or analysis collaborations
- High Performance Computing: networking, storage, and load balancing technologies
- Decision Support: tools and technologies to support decision making in complex national security mission areas, including game-based training environments for crisis responders, simulation of social networked systems (including formation and evolution), and system-of-systems modeling of catastrophic events
- Data Analysis: algorithms and tools for supporting exploration, triage, analysis, and visualization of heterogeneous data
- Enabling technologies: algorithms for optimization (including under uncertainty), PDEs, solution of large-scale systems of equations, and uncertainty quantification
- Network Traffic Analysis: algorithms and tools to detect and prevent unauthorized actions on networks
How to Apply
You can view and apply for this job at:http://tinyurl.com/236nka2, follow the instructions to upload a resume, and complete the submission process to indicate your interest in this position.
Job Details
We have multiple openings for postdoctoral researchers in informatics and data mining, numerical algorithms for simulations, and/or computational mathematics for complex systems. Our staff members are expected to conduct innovative research, publish and present results in refereed journals and conferences, develop open-source software, and seek out new and interesting problems of national importance.
Required
PhD in computer science, applied mathematics, operations research, statistics, or related area is required for this position, as is a strong record of academic performance. Candidates must be able to work in a collaborative research environment and must provide evidence of relevant research expertise in the form of technical publications, presentations, software, and/or knowledge of applications. Other required qualifications include software development competence in a compiled and/or object-oriented languages (e.g., C++, Java, etc.); proficiency in solving problems, prioritizing work, and making decisions; and excellent written- and oral-communication skills.
Desired
Expertise in one or more of the following areas is desired for this position: scientific computing, graph analysis, linear algebra, machine learning, game theory, statistics, numerical analysis, optimization, computational combinatorics, data mining, mathematical physics of complex systems, information theory, decision theory, data fusion, inverse modeling, and systems modeling. Other desired qualifications include a background in solving practical problems in science and engineering; encounters with real world data; and proficiency in software engineering, especially an understanding of object-oriented programming techniques and best practices, high-performance computing experience, and/or SQL database knowledge.
Security Clearance
Sandia is required by DOE directive to conduct a pre-employment background review that includes personal reference checks, law enforcement record and credit checks, and employment and education verifications.
Applicants for employment must be able to obtain and maintain the appropriate DOE security clearance if required for a position. Applicants offered employment with Sandia are subject to a federal background investigation to meet the requirements for employment including access to classified information or matter.
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 by the DOE, rendering the inability to perform the duties assigned and resulting in termination of employment.
Citizenship
Sandia is a Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratory; as such, many of our jobs require a DOE security clearance, which requires U.S. citizenship. If this position requires a Department of Energy (DOE)-granted security clearance, U.S. citizenship and employee eligibility for clearance processing will be required at the time of hire.
If you hold dual citizenship and you accept a job offer for a position that requires a DOE-granted security clearance, you may be asked by DOE to renounce your foreign citizenship and retain only your U.S. citizenship.
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.
