    Default job background
    Description
    What You Will Do The Eulerian Codes Group (XCP-2) in the X-Computational Physics (XCP) Division is seeking an outstanding candidate for a postdoctoral position in code development and modeling related to plasma physics and Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF). This work will involve contributing to the development of one or more physics packages relevant to inertial confinement fusion (ICF) modeling as well as utilizing novel capabilities to simulate ICF implosions. XCP-2 supports and develops the xRAGE Radiation-Hydrodynamics Eulerian Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) code, which is widely used to perform simulations of ICF and High Energy Density Physics (HEDP) experiments. The candidate will assist in the development of plasma physics models in the xRAGE code. Specific models may include charged particle transport (for thermonuclear reaction products), thermal conduction (non-local and coupling to laser physics and magnetohydrodynamics/MHD), non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (nLTE) and/or plasma transport. The position will also involve validation of physics models and their implementation in the xRAGE code as applied to the simulation of ICF and HEDP experiments, as well as performing detailed code comparisons. The successful candidate is expected to work in a team environment with experimentalists and computational scientists, implement models and methods in xRAGE, and publish results. What You NeedMinimum Job Requirements:
  • A PhD in Physics, Astrophysics, Applied Mathematics, Engineering, or related fieldSolid background in numerical methods and modeling HEDP or related systems
  • Proficiency in Fortran, C/C++, or Python
  • Strong record of publications commensurate with experience
  • Strong oral and written communication skills
  • Ability to obtain a DOE Q Clearance, which typically requires US Citizenship
    • Education: A Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Computational Science, or a closely related field completed within the past five years or soon to be completed. Desired Qualifications:
  • Experience with theoretical or computational plasma physics
  • Experience in neutral particle transport and nuclear reactions (nuclear engineering)
  • Experience in modeling highly-coupled physics experiments for compressible flows
  • Solid background in numerical methods for solving systems of partial differential equations in fluid dynamics or related fields
  • Experience with massively parallel numerical development and simulation
  • Experience with deploying numerical algorithms to future computing architectures
  • Experience with code development relevant to computational physics
    • Work Location: The work location for this position is onsite and located in Los Alamos, NM. All work locations are at the discretion of management.
