What Your Job Will Be Like:

We are seeking a Postdoctoral Appointee to join our team. The Power Electronics and Energy Conversion Systems Department has a Postdoctoral Researcher position that may be a great fit if you are interested in modeling batteries and battery systems. The postdoctoral researcher will develop and implement models for Li and non-Lithium battery systems.

The successful candidate will develop first-principle, reduced-order, and data-driven models of cell and battery performance and degradation using a combination of finite-element forward models, surrogate models, and hybrid machine learning techniques. The researcher will work with a multi-disciplinary group and interact with researchers at Sandia and Universities working on battery development, modeling, and characterization.

On any given day you may be called on to:

  • Develop models for batteries and energy storage systems
  • Contribute to the development of op...
