Job Description:
Postdoctoral Appointee- Theoretical Heterogeneous Catalysis Job
posting number: #7075797 (Ref:675471) Posted: March 6, 2021 Job
Description This posting will be open for application submissions
for a minimum of seven (7) calendar days, including the 'posting
date'. Sandia reserves the right to extend the posting date at any
time. : We are seeking a Postdoctoral Appointee to join our
department!. The postdoctoral associate will work under the
supervision of Dr. Judit Z--dor and primarily be responsible for
the development of our code "pynta"
(https://github.com/zadorlab/pynta), which enables large-scale
kinetics calculations for heterogeneous catalytic systems using
high performance computing. The work includes coding mostly in
Python, hands-on experience with current peta- and upcoming
exascale machines, and exploration of the mechanistic details of
catalytic processes on surfaces. It also requires creativity,
possibly combined with machine learning approaches, to come up with
efficient and scalable algorithms for the exploration of potential
energy surfaces in this domain. The work is in the framework of the
Exascale Catalytic Chemistry (ECC) project
(https://ecc-project.sandia.gov/), funded by the Department of
Energy, and includes a collaboration with the members of our
interdisciplinary and multi-institutional team, with the
possibility of contributing to other aspects of the project as
well.
Required:
+ A PhD in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Physics, Material
Science, or related field. + Substantial expertise in an area of
heterogeneous catalysis, computational chemistry and in scientific
programming. + Strong publication record + Solid knowledge of
Python
Desired:
+ Good presentation, writing, and communication skills. + Knowledge
of the theoretical and modeling aspects of heterogeneous catalysis.
+ Experience with atom-centered and plane wave quantum chemistry
codes. + Experience with high-performance computing. + Familiarity
with machine learning techniques.
Department Description:
The Gas Phase Chemical Physics Department is part of Sandia's
Combustion Research Facility (CRF) in Livermore, California, where
over 100 scientists, engineers, and technologists conduct basic and
applied research to improve our nation's ability to use and control
combustion processes efficiently and cleanly. Under the principal
sponsorship of the Department of Energy's Office of Basic Energy
Sciences, the Combustion Chemistry and Diagnostics Department
conducts fundamental experimental, theoretical, and modeling
research to develop a foundational understanding of the key
chemical processes that underlie the complex mechanisms of
combustion. Additional programs investigate the effects of
combustion emissions on atmospheric composition and climate.
Research areas include chemical dynamics and spectroscopy,
theoretical and experimental chemical kinetics, flame chemistry and
modeling, and gas-phase and particulate diagnostics development and
deployment.

Security Clearance:
This position does not currently require a Department of Energy
(DOE) security clearance. Sandia will conduct a pre-employment drug
test and background review that includes checks of personal
references, credit, law enforcement records, and
employment/education verifications. Furthermore, employees in New
Mexico need to pass a U.S. Air Force background screen for access
to Kirtland Air Force Base. Substance abuse or illegal drug use,
falsification of information, criminal activity, serious misconduct
or other indicators of untrustworthiness can cause access to be
denied or terminated, resulting in the inability to perform the
duties assigned and subsequent termination of employment. If hired
without a clearance and it subsequently becomes necessary to obtain
and maintain one for the position, or you bid on positions that
require a clearance, a pre-processing background review may be
conducted prior to a required federal background investigation.
Applicants for a DOE security clearance need to be U.S. citizens.
If you hold more than one citizenship (i.e., of the U.S. and
another country), your ability to obtain a security clearance may
be impacted. Members of the workforce (MOWs) hired at Sandia who
require uncleared access for greater than 179 days during their
employment, are required to go through the Uncleared Personal
Identity Verification (UPIV) process. Access includes physical
and/or cyber (logical) access, as well as remote access to any NNSA
information technology (IT) systems. UPIV requirements are not
applicable to individuals who require a DOE personnel security
clearance for the performance of their SNL employment or to foreign
nationals. The UPIV process will include the completion of a
USAccess Enrollment, SF-85 (Questionnaire for Non-Sensitive
Positions) and OF-306 (Declaration of for Federal Employment). An
unfavorable UPIV determination will result in immediate retrieval
of the SNL issued badge, removal of cyber (logical) access and/or
removal from SNL subcontract. All MOWs may appeal the unfavorable
UPIV determination to DOE/NNSA immediately. If the appeal is
unsuccessful, the MOW may try to go through the UPIV process one
year after the decision date.
EEO Statement:
All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment
without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation,
gender identity, national origin, age, disability, or veteran
status and any other protected class under state or federal law. :
This postdoctoral position is a temporary position for up to one
year, which may be renewed at Sandia's discretion up to five
additional years. The PhD must have been conferred within five
years prior to employment. Individuals in postdoctoral positions
may bid on regular Sandia positions as internal candidates, and in
some cases may be converted to regular career positions during
their term if warranted by ongoing operational needs, continuing
availability of funds, and satisfactory job performance.
All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment
without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation,
gender identity, national origin, disability, or veteran
