This position will be matrixed to the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT) Facility. CINT is a Department of Energy, Office of Science Nanoscale Science Research Center. CINT operates as a national user facility devoted to studying the design, performance, and integration of nanoscale materials and structures.

Through our Core Facility in Albuquerque and Gateway Facility in Los Alamos, CINT provides access to scientific expertise and advanced capabilities for researchers to synthesize, fabricate, characterize, understand, and scale nanostructured materials into the microscopic and macroscopic worlds.

This comprehensive approach provides the greatest potential for nanostructured materials to inspire technological innovation with enduring beneficial impact in national S&T research priorities including quantum materials and quantum information science, advanced microelectronics, clean energy, pandemic preparedness, sustainable manufacturing and artificial intelligence/machine learning.

Posting Duration:

This posting will be open for application submissions for a minimum of seven (7) calendar days, including the ‘posting date’. Sandia reserves the right to extend the posting date at any time.

Security Clearance:

Sandia is required by DOE to conduct a pre-employment drug test and background review that includes checks of personal references, credit, law enforcement records, and employment/education verifications. Applicants for employment need to be able to obtain and maintain a DOE Q-level security clearance, which requires U.S. citizenship. If you hold more than one citizenship (i.e., of the U.S. and another country), your ability to obtain a security clearance may be impacted.

Applicants offered employment with Sandia are subject to a federal background investigation to meet the requirements for access to classified information or matter if the duties of the position require a DOE security clearance. Substance abuse or illegal drug use, falsification of information, criminal activity, serious misconduct or other indicators of untrustworthiness can cause a clearance to be denied or terminated by DOE, resulting in the inability to perform the duties assigned and subsequent termination of employment.
