Department Description
The Combustion Chemistry program, under the principal sponsorship of the Department of Energy's Office of Basic Energy Sciences, seeks to reveal the key chemical processes that underlie the complex mechanisms of combustion. The program emphasizes determination of the rates and mechanisms of chemical reactions, characterization of molecular structure and energetics, and development of full descriptions of chemical composition and evolution of combustion systems. Researchers in the program employ laser-based pump/probe techniques to interrogate chemical reactivity and structure, ion-imaging to simultaneously measure velocity and internal-state distributions of reaction products, experimental techniques in the picosecond and femtosecond domains to directly probe energy transfer and conversion within and between molecules, and laser-based methods directed at detection of combustion-generated particles. In other work, molecular photolysis is coupled with absorption/fluorescence detection methods to determine the thermal rate coefficients and product distributions for reactions that constitute the individual steps in the combustion chain process. Current computational efforts include ab initio calculations of molecular structure and energetics and computer modeling of the complete kinetics of combustion processes in both laminar and turbulent environments.

Job Description
Postdoctoral Appointee
Job Details
A postdoctoral position is available in the Combustion Chemistry Department of Sandia National Laboratories? Combustion Research Facility (CRF). The successful candidate will be responsible for designing and implementing novel experiments to investigate the combustion chemistry of the next-generation bio-derived fuels. The analytical tools are based on laser methods and mass-spectrometry with single- and multi-photon ionization. The postdoctoral associate is expected to perform both independent and collaborative research. We are seeking self-motivated candidates, who enjoy taking considerable individual responsibility and initiative.
Required
The position requires a PhD in chemistry, physics, chemical engineering, or a related field. Candidates must have substantial expertise in at least one of the following areas: laser spectroscopy, mass-spectrometry, or chemical dynamics.
Desired
Knowledge of combustion chemistry and familiarity with combustion modeling methods are also desired.
Security Clearance
Sandia is required by DOE directive to conduct a pre-employment background review that includes personal reference checks, law enforcement record and credit checks, and employment and education verifications.

**A security clearance is not required for this position.

Applicants for employment must be able to obtain and maintain the appropriate DOE security clearance if required for a position. Applicants offered employment with Sandia are subject to a federal background investigation to meet the requirements for employment including access to classified information or matter.

Substance abuse or illegal drug use, falsification of information, criminal activity, serious misconduct or other indicators of untrustworthiness can cause a clearance to be denied by the DOE, rendering the inability to perform the duties assigned and resulting in termination of employment.
Citizenship
Sandia is a Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratory; as such, many of our jobs require a DOE security clearance, which requires U.S. citizenship. If this position requires a Department of Energy (DOE)-granted security clearance, U.S. citizenship and employee eligibility for clearance processing will be required at the time of hire.

If you hold dual citizenship and you accept a job offer for a position that requires a DOE-granted security clearance, you may be asked by DOE to renounce your foreign citizenship and retain only your U.S. citizenship.
Benefits
At Sandia you will receive many benefits as a valued employee of a premier national multi-program engineering and science research laboratory. In our Total Rewards package you will enjoy competitive pay, great benefits, a stimulating, positive environment and learning opportunities that will help build your career. More information may be found on our Careers website.
