Job Summary

Postdoctoral experimental physics role focused on laser-driven, dynamic compression research to study high energy density matter, including development of bulk temperature determination and in situ X-ray diffraction techniques. Collaborate with an interdisciplinary team to design and evaluate experiments, publish results in peer-reviewed journals, and present findings at conferences. Offers a hybrid work arrangement and potential home-based days; requires PhD in a closely related field and a strong publication record, with experience in condensed matter, plasma, or high pressure physics and X-ray/optical diagnostics.

Required Qualifications

  • PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, or a closely related field
  • Documented publication record in peer-reviewed literature
  • Hands-on experience with condensed matter physics, plasma physics, high pressure physics, X-ray diagnostics, optical diagnostics, or HED experiments
  • Ability to perform independent research and communicate results effectively
  • Proficient verbal and written communication skills for multidisciplinary collaboration
  • Ability to work effectively in collaborative teams
  • Eligibility to access LLNL per NDAA Section 3112
