Post-Doctoral Position Available at Sandia National Laboratories in
Livermore, California
The Combustion Research Facility is seeking a recent PhD scientist or
engineer interested in MOLECULAR SENSOR DEVELOPMENT and applications. The
successful candidate will join a team that is actively developing and
applying optical spectroscopic techniques for real-time sensors of interest
to the Departments of Energy, Defense, and U.S. industry. Current work has
been based on tunable-diode-laser ABSORPTION SPECTROSCOPY in the mid- and
near-infrared regions, and new laser-based mid-infrared sources are being
developed in conjunction with other teams at Sandia. Many of the sensor
applications are in highly particle-laden gas streams at high temperature.
An example of current activities is the application of time-resolved
measurements of gas-phase concentrations and temperatures for real-time
control of processes in both basic oxygen and electric arc steelmaking. In
addition to commercial steelmaking, we are currently conducting experiments
in demilitarization of conventional munitions, large-scale pool fires, and
the assessment of long-term aging of organic materials in weapons
components.
The successful candidate will be exceptionally strong technically and be a
creative problem-solver. Candidates should have a Ph.D. in either the
physical sciences or engingineer and have demonstrated
experimental and modeling research experience with aspects of molecular
spectroscopy, optics, lasers, combustion diagnostics, electronics, computer
simulation, data analysis and methods for process control. Experience with
fiber-optically coupled lasers is also advantageous.Laboratory and
communications skills must be excellent, and the ability to work
independently or in a team environment is a must. Travel for field
experiments is required for this position.
