We have an opening for a Postdoctoral Researcher in Operations Research to conduct research in the areas of stochastic, decentralized, and/or multi-level optimization, with specific application to critical infrastructure systems. You will be an integral part of a multi-disciplinary team of researchers, with skill sets ranging from computer and climate science to power and industrial engineering; projects are typically collaborative with partner academic institutions and other national labs. You will be developing advanced models of decision-making under uncertainty and adversarial contexts for critical infrastructure operations, planning, and resilience. You will join ongoing efforts in strategic capacity expansion planning and infrastructure interdiction but may also support other research initiatives sponsored by our U.S. Government partners. You will work with experienced LLNL scientists and engineers and contribute to new numerical methods and analysis tools that provide insights to inform near and long-term strategy and technology decisions. This position is in the Computational Engineering Division (CED), within the Engineering Directorate. The research will be conducted in conjunction with LLNL’s Cyber and Infrastructure Resilience (CIR) program.
Depending on your assignment, this position may offer a hybrid schedule, blending in-person and virtual presence. You may have the flexibility to work from home one or more days per week.
