We have multiple openings for Postdoctoral Researchers. You will engage in cutting edge research, design, and deployment of statistical methods to solve important decision and detection problems stemming from the Laboratory's core mission spaces. You will have expertise in one of the following desired areas: Bayesian modeling, uncertainty quantification, analysis and design of computer experiments, statistical learning, statistical methods for “Big Data” or general statistical consulting. These positions are in the Computational Engineering Division (CED), within the Engineering Directorate.
You will
- Conduct independent, as well as participate in team-based research in and development of one or more of the following areas: physical process modeling, image and video analysis, uncertainty quantification, calibration, design of computer experiments, large-scale model architectures.
- Design, implement, and analyze techniques in one or more of the above areas.
- Contribute to and actively participate with project scientists and engineers in the scope, planning, and formulating modeling/simulation efforts for physical, engineering, and computational systems in the areas of physics, cyber security, biological and environmental threat detection, uncertainty quantification, and others.
- Develop, implement, validate, and document specialized analysis software tools and models as required, including preparing complex and detailed progress reports, written analyses, and verbal briefings to support project needs and deadlines.
- Collaborate with others in a multidisciplinary team environment to accomplish research goals including industrial and academic partners.
- Organize, analyze and publish research results in peer-reviewed scientific or technical journals and present results at external conferences seminars and/or technical meetings.
- Pursue independent (but complementary) research interests and interact with a broad spectrum of scientists internally and externally to the Laboratory.
- Travel as needed to coordinate with research collaborators and to attend external meetings and conferences.
- Perform other duties as assigned.
