Postdoctoral Appointee - Microelectronic Memory Technologies, Onsite
About the role
We seek a motivated Postdoctoral Appointee to conduct innovative research and analysis on radiation effects in microelectronics. In this position, your work may range from performing experiments, informing design, or running simulations to predict and better understand device performance in radiation environments.
Responsibilities
- Perform experiments or simulations to investigate radiation effects in electronics and other test objects.
- Team with other specialists, including those performing radiation experiments at innovative facilities, designing experiments, and analyzing results.
- Summarize findings in internal reports and as appropriate, publish results in journal articles and present at conferences.
- Clearly communicate new insights or observations to internal and external stakeholders and customers.
- Some travel will be required for activities such as performing experiments and attending project meetings and conferences.
Requirements
- PhD degree in Engineering, Material Sciences, Physics, or a closely relevant field.
- Knowledge of or experience in device physics in microelectronics or electronics.
- A strong track record of scientific and/or technical achievements through publication, as evidenced by peer-reviewed journals and external presentations at appropriate scientific conferences.
- Ability to acquire and maintain a DOE Q clearance.
Qualifications Desired
- Experience with advanced and emerging non-volatile memory technologies including but not limited to 3D NAND, FeRAM, ReRAM, and magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) technologies.
- General knowledge in radiation sciences and effects in electronics.
- Experience with radiation testing of microelectronics such as single-event effects (SEE), total ionizing dose (TID), and/or dose rate effects.
- Experience modeling radiation effects in electronics using semiconductor device or circuit-level simulation tools.
- Experience with Python (or similar scripting languages); strong data analysis skills and knowledge of standard python data libraries (e.g., numpy, pandas/polars).
- Experience working with interdisciplinary teams.
About Our Team
The Radiation Effects Experimentation and Analysis Department is committed to ensuring the operational capability of the nation's nuclear stockpile in radiation and electromagnetic environments. Our work spans a diverse range of activities, from fundamental radiation effects research to the qualification of electronic components, subsystems, and systems against both natural and man-made radiation environments, including those produced by nuclear detonations.
