Hydrology Modeling Scientist 4-Los Alamos National Laboratory.

Notes: Education /Experience – Ph.D. preferred, M.S. with extensive experience acceptable, in Hydrogeology, Geosciences, Computational Sciences, or Engineering and at least five years professional experience with strong component of leadership.

EES fosters a family-friendly working environment.

Requirements: Applicants must have (1) an extensive background in computational hydrology, fluid dynamics or reactive transport, (2) a demonstrated record of directing and completing theoretical and /or site-specific subsurface hydrology or reservoir investigations, (3) a talent for leading an interdisciplinary team of scientists and technicians, and (4) strong oral and written communications skills, including a demonstrated record of peer-reviewed publications.

Additional information about this position and the Subsurface Flow and Transport team can be obtained by contacting (name, email address).

Preference will given to applicants with experience in (1) development of novel theoretical methods and computational techniques related to simulation of subsurface flow and reactive transport, (2) quantitative estimation of uncertainty in model parameters and predictions, (3) fluency in one or more programming and /or scripting languages, and (4) high-performance computing.

The successful candidate will join the dynamic and interdisciplinary team which includes more than 20 researchers working on projects related to analysis and simulation of multi-phase /multi-component flow and reactive transport. Ongoing research and application areas include hydrology, contaminant transport, geologic carbon sequestration, and geothermal energy and other innovative energy solutions Many of our projects address the nation’s most challenging subsurface systems with multi-scale /multi-phase physics, fractured-rock flow and transport, and challenging geochemical interactions. High-performance computing is a foundation of our team’s simulation science; our team interfaces with other teams that focus on observation and experimentation.

Job description: The Computational Earth Science group in the Earth and Environmental Sciences (EES) Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory is looking for a creative, mid-career scientist to join our interdisciplinary team to take a leadership role in design and application of numerical models characterizing three dimensional subsurface fluid flow and reactive solute transport. The successful candidate will conduct innovative research and site-specific investigations and will develop and lead projects supported by interdisciplinary teams of scientists and staff. He /she will interact regularly with sponsors to understand their goals and author programmatic reports that address problems of national importance. The candidate is expected to publish in peer review journals and present at national conferences.
