Descrição da oferta de emprego

What You Will Do

Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is a multidisciplinary research institution engaged in science and engineering on behalf of national security. The Nondestructtive Testing & Evaluation group (V-6) is looking for a postdoctoral researcher with strong experimental and analytical skills. We are seeking a highly motivated individual to join a multidisciplinary research team and contribute to the development of new technologies for critical applications. This work involves complex experimental work, as well as significant data analysis and signal processing.

Our current work focuses on nondestructive techniques for material characterization (solids, liquids, gases), acoustical imaging, nonlinear acoustics, acoustic separations, detection of defects in materials and acoustically engineered materials. The work involves development of new techniques, customized instrumentation and validation of measurements in the field. The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to the development of new sensing technologies, patents and publications. There will be opportunities to work in a wide range of areas, to innovate, and present work to sponsors and conferences.

A background in ultrasonics/acoustics is not required, and thus candidates with strong hands‑on experimental skills are encouraged to apply.
