The Electrical Performance Research organization is seeking a Postdoctoral Appointee to conduct research and analysis on the effects of radiation on electrical devices using advanced laser systems. In this role, your work will encompass performing experiments and simulations to rapidly predict, understand, and resolve the probabilistic effects of radiation on device behavior, as well as collating and analyzing existing radiation data.

You will collaborate with a multidisciplinary team and have access to some of the world's most powerful research tools.

On any given day, you may be expected to:

• Perform simulations to investigate radiation effects in electronics and other test objects.
• Collaborate with specialists, including those conducting radiation experiments at cutting-edge facilities, to design experiments, analyze results, and present new insights or observations.
• Summarize findings in internal reports and, when appropriate, publish results in peer-reviewed journals and present at conferences.
• Travel occasionally for project meetings and conferences.

Due to the nature of the work, the selected candidate will be required to work onsite.

• PhD in Optical Science and Engineering, Electrical Engineering with a focus on laser systems, or a closely related STEM, awarded within five (5) years of the employment start date.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a Department of Energy (DoE) Q clearance.

• Experience in radiation…
