    Description

    What You Will Do


    We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join our multidisciplinary team to conduct research in acoustic investigation of complex structures.

    The aim of the project is to study the behavior of acoustic waves in complex media with localized and extended non-uniformities and defects.

    The current areas of interest for the project are modeling and simulation studies of acoustic wave propagation in such media, experimental validation of such simulation results, and development of prototypes and/or deployable systems for diagnostics and monitoring.

    Specific target applications include non-invasive acoustic measurement of physical properties of fluids inside vessels, the use of nonlinear concepts and/or metamaterials for improved acoustic detection in structures with material and/or geometric complexity, and enhanced localization and classification of defects in extended structures using sensor arrays and machine learning algorithms.

    The successful candidate will work closely with other experimental and theoretical/computational scientists and engineers at Los Alamos and other academic institutions, as well as on joint projects with industry.

    There will be ample opportunities to work in a wide range of areas and to innovate.


    The term of the appointment is two years, with the option to extend to a third year depending on performance and funding availability.


    What You Need

    Minimum Job Requirements:

    • Possess extensive hands-on experience in acoustic research and development
    • Proven ability to work creatively and independently
    • A demonstrated record of technical excellence and innovative thinking as evidenced by publication and presentation records and letters of reference
    • Excellent communication skills (both oral and written).

    Education/Experience :

    Candidates must have completed all PhD requirements by commencement of the appointment and must be within the last five years of completion of the PhD, specializing in physics, applied physics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, nuclear engineering, applied mathematics, or a related field.


    Desired Qualifications:

    • Experience in structural health monitoring (SHM), non-destructive evaluation (NDE), and non-invasive testing,
    • Experience in electrical measurements, building of complex experimental setups, and sensor development,
    • Experience in advanced signal processing, including machine learning,
    • Proficiency in software development using Python, MATLAB, and LabVIEW,
    • Experience in modeling & simulation studies using COMSOL,
    • Ability to plan and organize assignments to meet project deliverables.

    Work Environment:

    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.


    Salary: Competitive salaries are based on the date the PhD degree requirements were completed or the degree was awarded. Starting salary for a new graduate is currently $94,500. For more information go to Postdoc Program website at
