Located in northern New Mexico, Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is a multidisciplinary research institution engaged in strategic science on behalf of national security. LANL enhances national security by ensuring the safety and reliability of the U.S. nuclear stockpile, developing technologies to reduce threats from weapons of mass destruction, and solving problems related to energy, environment, infrastructure, health, and global security concerns.
This 2-3 year postdoc position is in the Earth and Environmental Sciences Division working to improve predictions of the impacts of environmental change on the vulnerability and resilience of natural and human built systems. Earth System Observations (EES-14) works broadly across the traditional fields of geology, ecology, and atmospheric sciences, with an emphasis on experimental and observational sciences, often coupled to the development and improvement of predictive modeling. This postdoctoral position will focus on the predictive understanding in any or all the following areas: 1) the vegetation dynamics in the coastal regions, 2) sediment transport and coastal land scape evolution, and 3) the interactions of vegetation dynamics and sediment transport, using a combination of models and observations. This postdoctoral position will require the candidate to integrate and communicate with coastal ocean and infrastructure modelers, and aid in uncertainty quantification and sensitivity analysis of models and model outputs.
Additional Details:
No Clearance: Position does not require a security clearance. Selected candidates will be subject to drug testing and other pre-employment background checks.
New-Employment Drug Test: The Laboratory requires successful applicants to complete a new-employment drug test and maintains a substance abuse policy that includes random drug testing.
