Postdoctoral Appointee - Theory of Acoustoelectric Systems. Onsite

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: - Bidder Eligibility (but that's metadata; we should not repeat job title; we can fold minor metadata into short

or drop it. Probably we can include a short paragraph about eligibility? The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can include a

for eligibility details? It says "Bidder Eligibility" is a heading in the original but we should not create headings for that unless it's a section like About the role etc. Probably we can treat it as a paragraph. - About Sandia: we can make an

About Sandia? The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings? It says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). Likely we should use those standard headings only if content matches. But we have "About Sandia" which is similar to "About the role"? Not exactly. Could treat as "About the role"? Actually "About Sandia" is about the organization, not the role. The instruction didn't list "About the company" as example but we could still use

About Sandia? Might be okay. However they said "use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That suggests those are the allowed headings. Probably we should only output those headings if we have content. We have content for: - About the role: we have "What Your Job Will Be Like" which describes the role. So we can make

About the role

with paragraphs. - Responsibilities: not explicitly listed; but the description includes responsibilities: develop new theoretical frameworks, work closely with experimentalists, etc. Could treat as responsibilities. - Requirements: we have "Qualifications We Require" and "Qualifications We Desire". Could combine into Requirements and Skills? The instruction: Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can list requirements as
  . - Skills: maybe from "Qualifications We Desire" includes communication skills, collaboration, etc. Could be Skills. - Benefits: we have some benefits listed in About Sandia: flexible work arrangements, generous vacation, strong medical benefits, competitive 401k, learning opportunities, relocation assistance, amenities. Also "These benefits vary by job classification." So we have benefits content. - Pay: not specified; no salary info. So we should NOT include Pay section. - Schedule: not specified; no schedule info. So we should NOT include Schedule. - Also we have "Posting Duration", "Security Clearance", etc. Those are metadata; we can fold into short

  or drop. Probably we can include a short paragraph at top for eligibility and posting duration etc. But we must not invent headings for them. Thus output HTML fragment with sections: About the role (h3), Responsibilities (h3), Requirements (h3), Skills (h3), Benefits (h3). Use

  for prose,

  • for lists. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details. Let's extract details: About Sandia paragraph: "Sandia National Laboratories is the nation’s premier science and engineering lab for national security and technology innovation, with teams of specialists focused on cutting-edge work in a broad array of areas. Some of the main reasons we love our jobs: Challenging work with amazing impact that contributes to security, peace, and freedom worldwideExtraordinary co-workersSome of the best tools, equipment, and research facilities in the worldCareer advancement and enrichment opportunitiesFlexible work arrangements for many positions include 9/80 (work 80 hours every two weeks, with every other Friday off) and 4/10 (work 4 ten-hour days each week) compressed workweeks, part-time work, and telecommuting (a mix of onsite work and working from home)Generous vacation, strong medical and other benefits, competitive 401k, learning opportunities, relocation assistance and amenities aimed at creating a solid work/life balance* World-changing technologies. Life-changing careers. Learn more about Sandia at: http://www.sandia.gov These benefits vary by job classification." We need to keep that as prose maybe under About Sandia? But we don't have a heading for About Sandia; we could incorporate into About the role? Might be odd. Perhaps we can add an

    About Sandia

    even though not in list; but instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Could interpret that those are examples; we can still use

    for any section heading. Safer to include About Sandia as

    About Sandia

    . But we also have "What Your Job Will Be Like" which is about the role. Could make

    About the role

    with that content. Responsibilities: we can extract duties: develop new theoretical frameworks for understanding acoustoelectric systems in strongly interacting and nonlinear regimes; establish unified description of coupled dynamics; identify physical mechanisms that regulate and saturate interactions; work closely with experimentalists developing and characterizing acoustoelectric structures; use theory to interpret observed phenomena and identify new device regimes and experimental signatures; develop organizing theoretical framework for acoustoelectric interactions; clarify dimensionless parameters and physical regimes; explain transitions; identify universal vs platform-specific saturation mechanisms; provide predictive guidance for device design.

Generous vacation, strong medical and other benefits, competitive 401k, learning opportunities, relocation assistance, amenities aimed at creating solid work/life balance. Also note: "These benefits vary by job classification." We can list as
    . We also need to include eligibility and posting duration etc as short

    maybe before sections. Let's craft:

    Bidder Eligibility: This postdoctoral position is temporary for up to one year, renewable up to five additional years. PhD must have been conferred within five years prior to employment. Postdoctoral employees may bid on regular Sandia positions as internal candidates and may be converted to regular career positions. Employees (excluding interns) must remain in current position for one year before bidding on a new job, unless manager obtains approval via review process. This requirement does not supersede collective bargaining agreements. Refer to collective bargaining labor agreements for eligibility for represented bidders.

    Then maybe a

    Posting Duration: Open for application submissions for a minimum of three calendar days; may be extended.

    Then

    Security Clearance: No DOE clearance required; pre-employment drug test and background review; New Mexico employees need USAF background screen for Kirtland AFB access; certain foreign nationals prohibited unless US citizen; etc.

    But we need to preserve all substantive information; we can include that as a short paragraph. But we must not create headings for these; just paragraphs. Now produce HTML. Make sure to use

    for each section heading. Let's draft:

    About the role

    How do traveling piezoelectric acoustic waves interact with mobile charge carriers when the interaction becomes sufficiently strong that conventional small-signal and perturbative descriptions break down? What new dynamical regimes emerge when carrier transport, screening, nonlinear acoustic propagation, dissipation, and feedback between electronic and mechanical degrees of freedom must all be treated on equal footing? We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to develop new theoretical frameworks for understanding acoustoelectric systems in strongly interacting and nonlinear regimes. The central scientific goal of this position is to establish a unified description of the coupled dynamics of acoustic excitations and electronic transport that remains applicable beyond conventional perturbative treatments. Of particular interest are regimes in which traveling piezoelectric acoustic fields substantially modify carrier distributions and transport, while the resulting electronic response in turn modifies the propagation, attenuation, amplification, and nonlinear evolution of the acoustic field. A major objective will be to identify the physical mechanisms that ultimately regulate and saturate these interactions. This fundamental theory effort is part of a larger, dedicated research program at Sandia National Laboratories aimed at understanding and exploiting acoustoelectric physics for next-generation devices. The successful candidate will therefore work closely with experimentalists developing and characterizing acoustoelectric structures, with theory used both to interpret observed phenomena and to identify new device regimes and experimental signatures. The broader ambition is to develop an organizing theoretical framework for acoustoelectric interactions in piezoelectric-semiconductor heterostructures: one that clarifies the relevant dimensionless parameters and physical regimes, explains transitions between weakly coupled and strongly nonlinear behavior, identifies universal versus platform-specific saturation mechanisms, and ultimately provides predictive guidance for device design. This position is primarily intended for a theorist or computational physicist, although candidates with substantial experimental experience and a strong interest in theory are also encouraged to apply. Candidates interested in working across traditional boundaries between condensed-matter physics, acoustics, semiconductor transport, nonlinear dynamics, and device physics are particularly welcome. Due to the nature of the work, the selected candidate must be able to work onsite.

    Responsibilities

    • Develop new theoretical frameworks for understanding acoustoelectric systems in strongly interacting and nonlinear regimes.
    • Establish a unified description of the coupled dynamics of acoustic excitations and electronic transport applicable beyond conventional perturbative treatments.
    • Identify physical mechanisms that regulate and satur
