Application of this requirement will not supersede collective bargaining agreements. See collective bargaining labor agreements for represented bidder eligibility requirements for represented employees.

WHAT YOUR JOB WILL BE LIKE

The Materials Physics Department at Sandia National Labs is looking for a postdoctoral researcher to work on emerging device concepts for analog electronics, sensors and computing including harsh environment applications. The work will focus on device characterization using a variety of unique tools but may require some basic fabrication and circuit design. The candidate should be self-motivated, able to work independently, and contribute creatively to team efforts. The candidate will be expected to present results at national/international meetings and publish research in high profile peer-reviewed journals.
Due to the nature of the work, the selected applicant must be able to work onsite.

QUALIFICATIONS WE REQUIRE

• PhD degree in electrical engineering, physics, or a closely related field
• Hands-on experience with electronic device characterization
• A record of publications in peer-reviewed journals and presentations at scientific conferences. Demonstrated ability to communicate in English to an international scientific audience is essential

QUALIFICATIONS WE DESIRE

• Experience with device fabrication
• Experience with LabVIEW

NNSA REQUIREMENTS FOR MEDPEDS

If you have a Medical Portable Electronic Device (MedPED), such as a pacemaker, defibrillator, drug-releasing pump, hearing aids, or diagnostic equipment and other equipment for measuring, monitoring, and recording body functions such as heartbeat and brain waves, if employed by Sandia National Laboratories you may be required to comply with NNSA security requirements for MedPEDs.
If you have a MedPED and you are selected for an on-site interview at Sandia National Laboratories, there may be additional steps necessary to ensure compliance with NNSA security requirements prior to the interview date
