We have an opening for a Postdoctoral Researcher to implement innovative experimental characterization and theoretical analysis of features formed during the production and atmospheric aging of actinide materials. You will support a multi-disciplinary team developing new forensics signatures of nuclear materials. This position will be in the Actinides and Lanthanides group of the Materials Science Division.

In this role you will

• Conduct research characterizing nuclear materials to determine microstructure, chemical distribution, and morphology and their dependence on process and aging parameters
• Participate in understanding the fundamental processes of materials aging using state-of-the-art surface and bulk analysis instrumentation and techniques.
• Contribute to and actively participate in the conception, design, and execution of research to address defined problems.
• Pursue independent, complementary research interests and interact with a broad spectrum of scientists internally and externally to the Laboratory.
• Collaborate with scientists in a multidisciplinary team environment to accomplish research goals.
• Maintain and establish laboratory protocols.
• Document and publish research in peer-reviewed journals and present results within the DOE community and at conferences.
• Perform other duties as assigned.
