POSTDOCTORAL POSITIONS IN COMPUTATIONAL EARTH SCIENCE

Computational Earth Science group
Earth and Environmental Sciences (EES)
Los Alamos National Laboratory, New Mexico, 87545, USA

(JobNumber=220571
<http://www.hr.lanl.gov/JobListing/SingleJobAd.aspx?JobNumber=220571>)
http://www.hr.lanl.gov/JobListing/SingleJobAd.aspx?JobNumber=220571
(Salary Range: based on experience
<http://www.lanl.gov/science/postdocs/salary_guidelines.shtml>)**

The Computational Earth Science Group in the Earth and Environmental
Sciences (EES) Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory has immediate
openings for creative and resourceful postdoc candidates to join our
Subsurface Flow and Transport team in developing and applying novel
theoretical and computational methods for analysis, simulation and
characterization of subsurface flow, transport, and deformation processes.
Currently, the Subsurface Flow and Transport team includes 32 researchers,
10 of whom are postdocs. Six of the current postdocs have been hired during
the last financial year (FY2010) based on a similar postdoctoral position
call. The advertised postdoc positions align with our team’s ongoing
research and application areas, which include waste disposal, geothermal
energy, oil and gas extraction, geologic carbon sequestration, hydrogeology,
and contaminant transport. Many of our projects address the nation’s most
challenging subsurface flow systems, which involve multi-scale/multi-phase
physics, fractured-rock flow and transport, and challenging geothermal,
geochemical and geomechanical interactions. The projects include extensive
research work related to high-performance computing, parameter estimation,
uncertainty quantification, risk assessment, evaluation of remedial options,
and decision making. Successful candidates will interact with researchers
and application-oriented scientists on this team as well as in other earth
science, chemistry, computing, and engineering groups. The candidates are
expected to publish their research in peer-reviewed journals and present at
national conferences.

Required Skills: Applicants must have (1) background in any of the following
disciplines with an interest in earth sciences: computational hydrology,
petroleum engineering, solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, system
modeling/risk evaluation, or other related fields, (2) demonstrated
experience in conceptualization, development, and application of subsurface
process or system models, (3) demonstrated record of peer-reviewed
publications, (4) excellent communication, writing and oral presentation
skills, and (5) fluency in one or more programming and/or scripting
languages.

Desired Skills: Preference will be given to applicants with experience in
(1) developing novel theoretical methods and computational techniques for
simulation and analysis, of subsurface processes, (2) uncertainty
quantification, (3) risk assessment, (4) decision support, (5)
high-performance computing, or (6) object-oriented and parallel programming.

Education: A Ph.D. in Hydrology, Hydrogeology, Geosciences, Computational
Sciences, Engineering or Applied Mathematics completed within the last five
years or soon to be completed is required.

Notes: LANL offers an excellent working environment and competitive
compensation and benefits package. For further information, see
http://www.hr.lanl.gov. EES Division employs over 300 people, including many
postdoctoral associates and graduate students, with expertise in various
facets of earth science. EES fosters a family-friendly working environment.
