Experimental Low Temperature Geochemistry—Sandia National Laboratories
The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) is a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), deep–geologic repository for defense–related, transuranic (TRU) waste. The repository is located in a Permian bedded–salt formation 26 miles east of Carlsbad, NM. Sandia National Laboratories is the scientific advisor to the DOE for the WIPP. Sandia's advisory responsibilities include investigations and monitoring of repository performance, long–term, probabilistic performance assessment (PA) of the repository with respect to regulatory requirements, impact assessments of modifications to the repository design and waste inventory, and periodic recertification of the WIPP. Sandia National Laboratories seeks a geochemist, chemist, or chemical engineer to carry out low–temperature, laboratory studies of the near–field chemical behavior of the contents of WIPP disposal rooms (brines, evaporite minerals, simulated waste, and the MgO engineered barrier). Currently, the effects of significant near–field chemical processes (corrosion, microbial activity, consumption of CO2 by MgO, and alpha radiolysis) on the conditions that affect the mobilities of actinide elements are emphasized. The individual selected for this position will: (1) design and conduct laboratory experiments, (2) interpret and document results consistent with stringent technical and quality–assurance requirements, (3) incorporate relevant results in Sandia's WIPP PA calculations, (4) make presentations to regulators and review panels, and (5) publish results in peer–reviewed journals and/or present them at technical conferences or workshops. An advanced degree in geochemistry, chemistry, chemical engineering, or a related field with a background in chemical thermodynamics and kinetics, and experience in laboratory studies of geochemistry or chemistry are required. Demonstrated excellence in her or his technical field, a strong commitment to quality assurance, excellent oral and written communications skills, and the ability to function effectively on a diverse team are also required.
A background in or experience with geological materials such as ground waters and minerals (especially brines and evaporite minerals), the design and implementation of experiments using controlled atmospheres, and laboratory analytical methods are highly desirable.

Geochemical Modeling—Sandia National Laboratories
The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) is a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), deep–geologic repository for defense–related, transuranic (TRU) waste. The repository is located in a Permian bedded–salt formation 26 miles east of Carlsbad, NM. Sandia National Laboratories is the scientific advisor to the DOE for the WIPP. Sandia's advisory responsibilities include investigations and monitoring of repository performance, long–term, probabilistic performance assessment (PA) of the repository with respect to regulatory requirements, impact assessments of modifications to the repository design and waste inventory, and periodic recertification of the WIPP. Performance assessment requires an accurate model of chemical conditions and associated uncertainties within the WIPP repository over time and in response to future drilling events and brine intrusions. Sandia National Laboratories is seeking an experienced geochemical modeler to provide an interface between current experimental studies and performance assessment activities. An advanced degree in geochemistry, chemistry, chemical engineering, or a related field with experience in geochemical modeling is required. Demonstrated excellence in her or his technical field, a strong commitment to quality assurance, excellent oral and written communications skills, and the ability to function effectively on a diverse team are also required. Experience running EQ3/6, reactive transport models, and thermodynamic models is desired.

Geomechanical/Structural Modeling—Sandia National Laboratories
The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) is a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), deep–geologic repository for defense–related, transuranic (TRU) waste. The repository is located in a Permian bedded–salt formation 26 miles east of Carlsbad, NM. Sandia National Laboratories is the scientific advisor to the DOE for the WIPP. Sandia's advisory responsibilities include investigations and monitoring of repository performance, long–term, probabilistic performance assessment (PA) of the repository with respect to regulatory requirements, impact assessments of modifications to the repository design and waste inventory, and periodic recertification of the WIPP. The WIPP repository is located in the Salado Formation, a Permian evaporate sequence in the Delaware Basin of Southeastern New Mexico. After disposal rooms are excavated they begin to deform and close due to the process of salt–creep. Numerical models representing ductile and brittle deformation are used to predict the closure of rooms filled with waste. Sandia is seeking a geomechanical or structural modeler with demonstrated experience to support these analyses. A background in geotechnical systems, rock mechanics, and constitutive model development and implementation is required. Proficiency with finite element modeling is required, and experience with finite difference numerical methods, repository sciences, the petroleum industry, and high performance computing environments is highly desirable. Excellent oral and written communication skills are required.
