This job posting is for 1 (one) postdoctoral position in the Geophysics Group (EES-17). EES-17 performs research and development nonlinear acoustics, seismology, fault physics geology and geodynamics. In this area of research we conduct experimental, theoretical and simulations of fault processes. We analyze these data applying classical signal processing and machine learning techniques.
EES-17 is looking for a creative postdoc to join our interdisciplinary team. The successful candidate will take a role in analyzing experimental, simulation and seismic data applying classical signal processing techniques as especially machine learning and will be expected to conduct research independently, publish results in peer-reviewed journals and present at conferences.
What You Need
Candidates with a strong background/experience in the following areas are invited to apply:
· Experience in Materials Science and/or Geophysics
· Strong understanding of Mechanical behavior of materials under geologic loading conditions
· Proficiency in Python, Fortran, C, and C++
· Excellent written and communication skills in English
· Significant code development experience and an understanding of computational methods
· Motivation to achieve in an independent work environment and also the communication skills to interact with a multidisciplinary, integrated team
Additional Desired Expertise:
· Code development experience
· Laboratory experience
· Big data handling experience
· Experience with numerical modeling (e.g. finite element, finite difference, discrete elements) for simulating fault processes, or experimental background in fault physics is desired.
· Solid understanding of materials science and or earthquake physics
· excellent publication record in the field of materials science or geophysics
Education: A Ph.D. in Machine Learning, Geophysics, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Solid Mechanics or related fields is required. The candidate must have completed all Ph.D. requirements by commencement of the appointment and be within 5 years of completion of the Ph.D.
Notes to Applicants: Regular post-doctoral appointments are for two years and are renewable for a third year. Outstanding candidates (with approximately 15 – 20 articles in reputable, peer-reviewed journals) may be eligible for a LANL Director's Fellowship.
