Los Alamos, New Mexico

Salary

Competitive salaries

Closing date

Feb 7, 2025

The Fractured Earth Laboratory in the Energy and Natural Resources Security (EES-16) group at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is excited to announce one opening for Postdoctoral Research Associates. Successful candidates will join a diverse team of scientists who are working to address critical earth science challenges related to energy, the environment, and national security. Specific research topics related to this opportunity include: (1) high pressure high temperature rock mechanics assembly design and operation; (2) cement and well integrity evaluation using acoustic tools under simulated geothermal conditions; and (3) Subsurface fluid flow across fractures.

As a member of our interdisciplinary team, which includes experts in rock mechanics, fluid flow, well integrity, geophysics, geochemistry, the candidate will be at the forefront of developing innovative experimental and modeling methodologies to support finding challenges in energy, the environment, and national security. Our facilities for this work include novel equipment such as our large customized high-temperature high-pressure (HTHP) quad-pore triaxial system, HTHP microfluidic system, triaxial core-flood system with integrated X-ray, fiber optic system based on Fiber Brag gratings (FBGs), fiber optic system based on Optical Frequency Domain Reflectometry (OFDR) for distributed strain and temperature sensing, HTHP cement curing vessels and calorimeters, HTHP rheometer, and Parr reactors. Our modeling tools include poro-elastic models, FEM, FDEM, and more.

Our top research goal is to assist with the global transition to zero-carbon energy. The successful candidate is expected to publish results in high-impact peer-reviewed journals and present their work at conferences. The position is for a two-year term, with the option to extend a third year based on performance and funding availability. Non-US citizens and US citizens are both welcome and encouraged to apply.

What You Need

Minimum Job Requirements:

• PhD in a STEM field that included at least introductory study of mechanics of fluid and solid (or equivalents).

• Hands-on experience operating or designing laboratory equipment and/or high-pressure (>100 psi)
