美国洛斯·阿拉莫斯国家实验室2024年招聘博士后（核法医学）

洛斯阿拉莫斯国家实验室（Los Alamos National Laboratory），简称阿拉莫斯实验室（LANL），位于美国新墨西哥州的洛斯阿拉莫斯，以前因为保密原因对外称为“Y地点（Site Y）”，隶属于美国能源部。该实验室最初由加利福尼亚大学伯克利分校全权负责运行管理，1952年后移交于加州大学管理，而后在2007年变更为由洛斯阿拉莫斯国家安全机构（加州大学等机构共同构成）运行管理。

Nuclear Forensics Postdoctoral Research Associate

Los Alamos National Laboratory

Los Alamos, New Mexico

Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is a multidisciplinary research institution engaged in science and engineering on behalf of national security. Our Nuclear and Radiochemistry Group (C-NR) at Los Alamos National Laboratory is seeking a qualified applicant to join us as a Postdoctoral Research Associate as part of our Clean Chemistry Team. The Clean Chemistry Team is focused on age dating nuclear materials (predominantly uranium) using granddaughter radionuclides (226Ra and 227Ac) with applications to basic research, as well as completion of several national security projects. You will also develop and enact new methods to purify trace-level decay progeny from nuclear materials.

Key Objectives:

Develop faster, more accurate and more applicable purification methods that improve nuclear forensics capabilities

Explore statistical modelling of radiochronometry signatures to better understand nuclear material processing histories

Work with, and be supported by, our multi-disciplinary team to apply the principles of actinide separation, low-level analytical chemistry, mass spectrometry and radiochronometry in the development of these novel production history signatures

Qualifications:

A PhD in chemistry, geology/geochemistry, nuclear physics or a related field completed within the past five years

Experience in at least three of the following areas: analytical chemistry, geochemistry, actinide or nuclear chemistry, nuclear physics, inorganic chemistry, separation chemistry and/or reduction and analysis of elemental/isotopic data

Commitment to quality research, technical and scientific excellence, professional integrity and personal initiative

Oral and written communication skills as evidenced by publications and technical presentations at national and/or international venues

Ability to work independently as well as in a team environment in a complex shared laboratory space

Desired Qualifications:

Experience working in a clean laboratory environment

Experience with nuclear material radiochronometry or geochronology

Experience in non-destructive and/or destructive measurements of nuclear material

Familiarity with the isotope dilution techniques and inorganic mass spectrometry techniques such as ICP-MS or TIMS

Scientific programming experience

Ability to obtain a Q clearance, which normally requires US citizenship
