vary by job classification.What Your Job Will Be LikeAre you
passionate about research related to the development of Atomic
Layer Deposition (ALD) films? If so, you could be perfect to join
our thin films and coatings team! Our work provides the opportunity
to develop creative solutions through inter-disciplinary research
that couples materials science, process science and high vacuum
technology. We are seeking a Postdoctoral Appointee to support the
research and development of ALD thin films in support of national
security mission needs.On any given day, you may be called on
to:Apply fundamental process, physical, and chemical principles to
develop novel ALD thin filmsDevelop and conduct research
experiments involving ALD, thin films, vacuum systems,
characterization of films, and related technologiesPublish journal
articles and present work at local and national conferencesDue to
the nature of the work, the selected applicant must be able to work
onsite.Qualifications We RequirePossess, or pursuing, a PhD in
Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, or
related STEM field (PhD must be conferred within 5 years prior to
employment)Experience with materials and process characterization
techniques, and process-structure-property relationshipsExperience
with Atomic Layer DepositionGood communication skills as evidenced
by a history of publication of results in peer-reviewed journals
and external presentations at appropriate scientific
conferencesAbility to acquire and maintain a DOE security
clearanceQualifications We DesireExperience with thin film
deposition methods, including process research and development and
microstructural and mechanical property characterizationKnowledge
of functional thin films technology including electrical, optical,
and tribologicalHands-on experience with custom built ALD,
sputtering, evaporation, and vacuum systemsExcellent ability to
translate technical work to a broad audience, as evidenced by peer
reviewed publications and invited/contributed talksExperience using

and Packaging Department 1835 specializes in two areas: (1)
developing custom thin films for a variety of dissimilar
applications, and (2) advanced packaging of electrical, MEMS-based,
and optical components.The thin films team develops novel thin
films and coatings for a variety of electrical and mechanical
applications and environments. Our group specializes in the
development and characterization of sputtered, evaporated, chemical
vapor deposited, and atomic layer deposited thin films. We probe
fundamental material behaviors to develop films for tribological,
optoelectronic, MEMS, microelectronic and other applications in
support of the national security mission space.Our team is
committed to ensuring a nurturing environment compatible with a
broad group of people and perspectives in accordance with the
changing makeup of the workforce. In support of this vision, our

references, credit, law enforcement records, and
employment/education verifications. Applicants for employment need
to be able to obtain and maintain a DOE L-level security clearance,
which requires U.S. citizenship. If you hold more than one
citizenship (i.e., of the U.S. and another country), your ability
to obtain a security clearance may be impacted.Applicants offered
employment with Sandia are subject to a federal background
investigation to meet the requirements for access to classified
information or matter if the duties of the position require a DOE
security clearance. Substance abuse or illegal drug use,
falsification of information, criminal activity, serious misconduct
or other indicators of untrustworthiness can cause a clearance to
be denied or terminated by the DOE, resulting in the inability to
perform the duties assigned and subsequent termination of
employment.EEOAll qualified applicants will receive consideration
for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual
orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, or
veteran status and any other protected class under state or federal
law.NNSA Requirements for MedPEDsIf 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.Position
InformationThis postdoctoral position is a temporary position for
up to one year, which may be renewed at Sandia's discretion up to
five additional years. The PhD must have been conferred within five
years prior to employment.Individuals in postdoctoral positions may
bid on regular Sandia positions as internal candidates, and in some
cases may be converted to regular career positions during their
term if warranted by ongoing operational needs, continuing
availability of funds, and satisfactory job performance.
