Los Alamos National Laboratory
CREATING A SECURE FUTURE
Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is a multidisciplinary research institution engaged in science and engineering on behalf of national security. The Continuum Models and Numerical Methods Group (XCP-4) of the Computational Physics Division at LANL is seeking outstanding candidates for a postdoctoral appointment in the area of continuum solid mechanics modeling. The successful candidates will be expected to perform novel and original research to develop new solid mechanics models; and/or understand and implement existing models and algorithms in large production software; and publish their research in leading scientific journals.
XCP-4 is a group of approximately 20 scientists with various technical backgrounds performing leading-edge research in advanced computational methods for multiphysics applications in support of national and global security. Specifically, we develop state-of-the art numerical methods for shock hydrodynamics and multiphase flow in both Eulerian and Lagrangian frameworks, as well as advanced physics-based computational models in a variety of areas, including high explosives, turbulent reactive flow and continuum solid mechanics.
Salary Range: $74,000 - $110,000 (Depends on experience level)
