Sustainability Next Task Force’s Student Engagement Forum

Are you interested in sustainability? Do you want to make a difference on campus? How would you like to see your professors incorporate key global initiatives and challenges like the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in your courses? Join the Sustainability Next Task Force’s Student Engagement Forum on Sustainability next Wednesday (7/21/21) at 5pm E.T. to let your voice be heard. Students of all ages and backgrounds are welcome to attend, and prior experience in sustainability is NOT required to participate. At this event, Task Force members will ask students for their feedback on sustainability and sustainability education at Georgia Tech and how it can be improved with the implementation of the new Georgia Tech Strategic Plan for 2020-2030.

We hope to see you there!

SEAOG YMG – PE / SE Exam Panel

Planning on taking the PE/SE Exam this year? Next year? Ever? Join a panel of recently licensed PE and SEs to discuss tips, expectations, and cautionary tales about the exam, from the application process to receiving the test results and everything in between. The entire testing process is a big undertaking alone, so join the discussion and become prepared!

The free event will be hosted at Morgan Falls Overlook Park Pavilion, and dinner will be provided to all who are able to attend in person; July 27th, 6-7:30pm, 200 Morgan Falls Rd, Sandy Springs, GA 30350.

The panel will also be broadcast virtually! Sign up to attend, and a link will be sent out the week of the event. RSVP here = https://seaog.org/Young_Members_Group

This week’s digest features announcements and postings regarding the following:

• Resource of the Week:
  • Preparing Future Faculty (CETL)
• Postdoc Positions:
  • Postdoc Position in Computational Materials and Data Science at Sandia (Multiple Openings)

Preparing Future Faculty (CETL)

Faculty careers offer an exciting mixture of discovering new knowledge and conveying it to students. Your degree program prepares you with the expertise needed to sustain a faculty research agenda, and the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) can prepare you to be an effective instructor. CTL offers a variety of opportunities to build your teaching and learning portfolio to help you be competitive in your faculty job search.

Postdoc Position in Computational Materials and Data Science at Sandia (Multiple Openings)

What Your Job Will Be Like

 We are seeking hardworking emerging scientists interested in working at the intersection of computational materials science, data science, and materials characterization. The candidate will be part of a team of scientists developing and deploying machine-learning-based and computational materials science capabilities to (i) detect and reveal mechanisms associated with physical and chemical processes occurring during manufacturing of nanostructured materials, (ii) prognose materials behavior, and (iii) adapt manufacturing of these materials. These capabilities that are developed are expected to become enduring toolsets for both in-house and visiting researchers at the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT) and supporting various projects across the laboratories’ complex.

Qualifications We Require

 Possess, or are nearing completion of, a PhD in Applied Mathematics, Computational Sciences, Materials Science & Engineering, Physics, or related field.

• Demonstrated research success, written communication, and presentation skills as evidenced by a record of publication in peer-reviewed journals and external presentations at professional scientific conferences
• Experience with advanced data analysis techniques and/or computational materials science tools such as molecular dynamics, phase field, etc.

Qualifications We Desire

• Familiarity or direct experience with machine learning/artificial intelligence
• Proven programming skills in Python, Matlab, Mathematica, C++, or similar
• Experience with image analysis techniques
• Experience in direct comparison of experimental and modeling data
• Experience with mechanical, chemical, thermal and/or irradiation properties of materials
• Interest in developing new analysis techniques
• Interest in developing capabilities with commercialization potential
• Interest in collaborative team-based research

About Our Team

The Nanostructure Physics department (01881) conducts research to establish the scientific principles that govern the design, performance, and integration of nanoscale materials into microscale and macroscale systems and devices. Department members perform discovery and use-inspired basic research in support of the DOE/SC Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT) and other Sandia programs. CINT is a DOE/Office of Science National User Facility operated jointly by Sandia and Los Alamos National Laboratories with facilities at both Laboratories.

Our team is committed to nurturing environment compatible with a broad group of people and perspectives in accordance with the changing makeup of the workforce. In support of this vision, our center actively recruits applicants from diverse groups of backgrounds and fosters an inclusive community.

Join us and work towards your goals while making a difference!

Position Information

 This postdoctoral position is a temporary position for up to one year, which may be renewed at Sandia’s discretion up to five additional years. The PhD must have been conferred within five years prior to employment.

Individuals in postdoctoral positions may bid on regular Sandia positions as internal candidates, and in some cases may be converted to regular career positions during their term if warranted by ongoing operational needs, continuing availability of funds, and satisfactory job performance.

*These benefits vary by job classification.

Security Clearance

This position does not currently require a Department of Energy (DOE) security clearance.

Sandia will conduct a pre-employment drug test and background review that includes checks of personal references, credit, law enforcement records, and employment/education verifications. Furthermore, employees in New Mexico need to pass a U.S. Air Force background screen for access to Kirtland Air Force Base. Substance abuse or illegal drug use, falsification of information, criminal activity, serious misconduct or other indicators of untrustworthiness can cause access to be denied or terminated, resulting in the inability to perform the duties assigned and subsequent termination of employment.

If hired without a clearance and it subsequently becomes necessary to obtain and maintain one for the position, or you bid on positions that require a clearance, a pre-processing background review may be conducted prior to a required federal background investigation. Applicants for a DOE security clearance need to be U.S. citizens. 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.

Members of the workforce (MOWs) hired at Sandia who require uncleared access for greater than 179 days during their employment, are required to go through the Uncleared Personal Identity Verification (UPIV) process. Access includes physical and/or cyber (logical) access, as well as remote access to any NNSA information technology (IT) systems. UPIV requirements are not applicable to individuals who require a DOE personnel security clearance for the performance of their SNL employment or to foreign nationals. The UPIV process will include the completion of a USAccess Enrollment, SF-85 (Questionnaire for Non-Sensitive Positions) and OF-306 (Declaration of for Federal Employment). An unfavorable UPIV determination will result in immediate retrieval of the SNL issued badge, removal of cyber (logical) access and/or removal from SNL subcontract.  All MOWs may appeal the unfavorable UPIV determination to DOE/NNSA immediately. If the appeal is unsuccessful, the MOW may try to go through the UPIV process one year after the decision date.

EEO

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, or veteran status and any other protected class under state or federal law.
