Where You Will Work
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.
The Theoretical Biology and Biophysics Group is one of six groups in the Laboratory’s renowned Theoretical Division. It was founded in 1974 and played a key role in establishing GenBank, the international HIV databases, and the rationale for combination therapy of HIV/AIDS. The scientific staff includes members of the US National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, as well as a winner of the E.O. Lawrence Award. Research in the group is focused on bioinformatics, simulation studies of biomolecules, and systems-level modeling, which is typically performed in collaboration with quantitative experimentalists. The US Department of Energy (DOE) and Los Alamos National Laboratory recognize that understanding complex biological systems is essential for public health and national security and strongly supports and encourages research in this area. For example, as part of DOE’s Exascale Computing Project (ECP), the Laboratory is pursuing advanced modeling and simulation solutions in support of the National Cancer Institute’s Precision Medicine Initiative. This work, launched in fall 2016, is being performed as part of an “application development” project entitled “Exascale Deep Learning and Simulation Enabled Precision Medicine for Cancer.”
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.
Candidates may be considered for a Director's Postdoc Fellowship and outstanding candidates may be considered for the prestigious Richard P. Feynman, Darleane Christian Hoffman, J. Robert Oppenheimer, or Frederick Reines Distinguished Postdoc Fellowships.
