Req. Number: IRC120237
Organization: MST-8/Materials Science in Radiation & Dynamics Extremes
City, State: Los Alamos, New Mexico
Recruiter Name: Blount, Mark Joseph
Recruiter Email: mblount@lanl.gov
What You Will Do
MST-8 is seeking a postdoc to join a team studying radiation effects in material subjected to extreme environments (stress, temperature, irradiation, corrosion). The position is in support of two projects funded by the Office of Basic Energy Sciences (BES): an Energy Frontier Research Center on the coupling between irradiation and corrosion and a core program on the relationship between disorder and transport in complex oxides. The selected candidate will perform simulations at the atomic scale using methods such as density functional theory, molecular dynamics, and kinetic Monte Carlo that focus on elucidating mechanisms related to radiation effects. In the first project, the focus is on metal alloy dealloying under molten salt conditions. The effort will involve (a) understanding the role of short-range order on transport and how irradiation impacts short-range order, (b) radiation-induced segregation to surfaces and grain boundaries, and (c) reactions at the surface-liquid interface leading to dissolution. In the second project, the focus is on understanding radiation-induced phase and chemical distribution changes in inter-lanthanide oxides. The effort will involve (a) understanding transport as a function of chemistry and structure, (b) determine the defect chemistry of aliovalent doping, and (c) examining the role of interfaces on defect properties in these oxides. The position will be awarded to the candidate demonstrating exceptional talent with a successful collaborative and scientific track record.

Our Core Values
Cupertino, California
The materials science group within the Product Design Engineering team is looking for interns available between Sep 2023 - Aug 2024.
The Apple internship program gives students tremendous hands on experience developing materials design and laboratory skills which directly impact Apple’s line of products. All of Apple’s products start with the materials team working closely with the product designers to develop and specify the best material for each application, whether it is a new high strength alloy, a new recycled polymer material, or the strongest glass available on the market. We hope there are talented, hard working undergrads or graduate students that would be interested in spending up to one year with us in Cupertino in this role.
While we can employ students for the summer of 2024 under this program, we strongly prefer candidates who are available for more than one semester during the fiscal year (e.g. spring + summer). Due to the steep initial learning curve, we’ve observed the most effective and impactful internship experiences have occurred for students who have been able to intern for longer durations.
We ask that you please circulate this application amongst your students, and also appreciate any personal recommendations from professors.
Apply now
Students can apply at MaterialsInternships@group.apple.com per the instructions provided.
