Job Summary:
Los Alamos National Laboratory is a multidisciplinary research institution engaged in strategic science on behalf of national security. They are seeking a highly motivated post-baccalaureate to develop advanced analysis software and automated workflows for materials characterization.
Responsibilities:
• design, implement, and optimize automated data analysis pipelines for complex, high-dimensional, and multimodal experimental datasets
• develop 3D microstructural analysis tools, computer vision algorithms, and data-driven methods that enable scalable and reproducible materials analysis
• contribute to the development and extension of METIS3D, a graph-based microstructural analysis platform, by implementing new microstructural descriptors
• improve scalability and memory efficiency, and enable automated, graph-based and data-driven analyses
• develop novel digital image correlation (DIC) and computer vision methods to detect microstructural discontinuities (e.g., slip, twinning) and accurately quantify local strain evolution during deformation experiments
• collaborate within a highly interdisciplinary team spanning materials science, applied mathematics, and computer science
Qualifications:
Required:
• Degree in Computer Science or Computer Science and Electrical Engineering
• Strong background in data science, algorithms, and software engineering
• Proficiency in C++, Python, and Matlab
• Solid foundation in computer vision, numerical methods, and mathematical analysis
• Experience developing automated analysis workflows and research-grade software
• Bachelor's degree in computer science, Electrical Engineering, completed within the last two years
• Must have earned a Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution (or international equivalent) within the last 3 years in an appropriate field
• Must have graduated with a cumulative GPA of 2.75 or above on a 4.0 scale (or equivalent)
Preferred:
• Experience handling multimodal and high-dimensional datasets
• Familiarity with workflow automation, scripting, and pipeline development
• Experience with graph algorithms and complex data structures
• Experience working with large C++ codebases and performance optimization
• Background in signal processing and optimization methods
• Experience with digital image correlation or image-based deformation analysis
• Exposure to 3D microstructural analysis (e.g., EBSD or tomography data) is a plus
• Self-motivated and able to work independently.
• Strong communication skills
• Comfortable working in an interdisciplinary research environment
