About the role

Los Alamos National Laboratory seeks outstanding postdoctoral candidates in computational subsurface hydrogeology. The CHESS Team develops high‑fidelity physics models for carbon storage, geothermal energy, and nuclear waste disposal, supporting national security through scientific innovation. You will contribute to research on DFN modeling, THMC processes, and machine learning, collaborating across disciplines to publish in peer‑reviewed journals and advance subsurface energy science.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
