Postdoctoral Position in Atomistic Materials Modeling
at Los Alamos National Laboratory
We are seeking outstanding candidates to join the Theoretical Division
at Los Alamos National Laboratory as a postdoctoral scholar in the
area of atomistic materials modeling. The successful candidate will
use molecular dynamics simulations to characterize chemical processes
and mechanical properties of nano-structured metastable intermolecular
composites, thermitic materials which can react to form a more stable
composite or alloy while releasing a large amount of energy. Areas of
application of this new class of materials include: localized heat
sources for disease treatment or chemical and biological
neutralization, environmentally friendly electric matches, ultra-fast
fuses and smart thermal barriers.
Candidates should have a strong background in solid state physics,
themodynamics and statistical mechanics, experience in atomistic
modeling of materials, and good communication skills. A PhD in
Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science or a related field completed
within the last five years or soon to be completed is required.
Candidates may be considered for a Director's Postdoctoral Fellowship
and outstanding candidates may be considered for the prestigious
J. Robert Oppenheimer or Richard P. Feynman Fellowships.
