We have multiple openings for graduate level students and students who have received a bachelor's or master's degree who will be given the opportunity to engage in practical research to further their educational goals. You will conduct research in the following scientific fields: organic/inorganic synthesis, analytical, computational, materials characterization, actinide materials, optical materials science; electrochemistry; materials chemistry and physics; computational chemistry and materials science; nanoscale materials synthesis and characterization and metallurgy. This position is in the Materials Science Division.

In this role you will

• Work with scientists on projects involving hands-on work in a laboratory, computational, or data analysis.
• Conduct research in solid micromechanics in materials under limited direction and supervision.
• Contribute to developing integrated modeling capabilities for simulating micromechanical responses and fracture initiation in materials.
• Design and perform systematic computer simulations on LLNL supercomputers for understanding the effects of mechanical conditions on materials behavior.
• Perform technical assignments of a basic degree of complexity and providing advanced technical support to scientist in scientific research and development projects.
• Present work through presentations and/or poster sessions.
• Perform other duties as assigned.
