Post Masters Research Associate - Materials Synthesis & Analytics
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
**Overview**
Protecting U.S. residents and visitors is among our nation's highest priorities. As adversaries gain access to sophisticated technologies and materials, the threats grow more dynamic and complex-from cyber and nuclear to chemical and biological weapons of mass effect and other forms of terrorism. The PNNL national security mission employs our researchers, tools, and technologies to play a key role in advancing the ability to identify and secure nuclear materials, detect weapons of mass effect, manage nonproliferation treaties, secure our nation's borders, and protect critical infrastructures. PNNL's scientific discovery and capabilities-rooted in innovative theory, methods, algorithms, and tools-are enabling stronger, more resilient technologies and systems to safeguard national security. Coupled with decades of radiological and nuclear materials expertise, advanced computing and threat analysis capabilities, and a broad fundamental science base, we are identifying and countering emerging threats that have significant impact at home and around the globe.
**Responsibilities**
The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is a multi-program laboratory operated by Battelle for the US DOE. The Engineered Materials (EM) Group is an interdisciplinary group of material scientists, chemists, and engineers that solve research and development problems related to national security missions, including nuclear non-proliferation, chemical threat signature recognition and response, quantum information sciences, and systems integration and deployment.
The Engineered Materials Group is seeking a Post-Masters Research Associate with experience in quantum information science and scientific programming. The successful candidate is expected to play a vital role in developing, modeling, and implementing quantum algorithms for efforts in the field of Benchmarking and Quantum Certification. A strong background in quantum computing, quantum information processing, Quantum error correction, and numerical simulation is required for this role. This position will require active collaboration with domain scientists across PNNL and our university partners. We expect to publish and disseminate the outcomes of the work in highly visible, peer-reviewed venues, including conferences and journals.
**Qualifications**
Minimum Qualifications:
+ Candidates must have received a Master's degree within the past 24 months or within the next 8 months from an accredited college or university
Preferred Qualifications:
+ Programming proficiency in at least one programing language (e.g., Python for data analysis)
+ Experience with Quantum Simulation environments (e.g. Qiskit or PennyLane)
+ Evidence of verbal and written communication skills
+ Experience with quantum transpilation to specific quantum hardware
+ Experience with quantum noise models
+ Masters in Computer Science with a 3.0 GPA or higher

**Drug Free Workplace**
PNNL is committed to a drug-free workplace supported by Workplace Substance Abuse Program (WSAP) and complies with federal laws prohibiting the possession and use of illegal drugs.
If you are offered employment at PNNL, you must pass a drug test prior to commencing employment. PNNL complies with federal law regarding illegal drug use. Under federal law, marijuana remains an illegal drug. If you test positive for any illegal controlled substance, including marijuana, your offer of employment will be withdrawn.
**Security, Credentialing, and Eligibility Requirements**
In accordance with Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) and Department of Energy (DOE) Order 473.1A, new employees are required to obtain and maintain a HSPD-12 Personal Identity Verification (PIV) Credential. To obtain this credential, new employees must successfully complete and pass a Federal Tier 1 background check investigation. This investigation includes a declaration of illegal drug activities, including use, supply, possession, or manufacture within the last year. This includes marijuana and cannabis derivatives, which are still considered illegal under federal law, regardless of state laws.
For foreign national candidates:
If you have not resided in the U.S. for three consecutive years, you are not eligible for the PIV credential and instead will need to obtain a favorable Local Site Specific Only (LSSO)risk determination to maintain employment. Once you meet the three-year residency requirement, you will be required to obtain a PIV credential to maintain employment.
**Mandatory Requirements**
Please be aware that the Department of Energy (DOE) prohibits DOE employees and contractors from having any affiliation with the foreign government of a country DOE has identified as a "country of risk" without explicit approval by DOE and Battelle. If you are offered a position at PNNL and currently have any affiliation with the government of one of these countries, you will be required to disclose this information and recuse yourself of that affiliation or receive approval from DOE and Battelle prior to your first day of employment.
