Job Description
Description Job Title Physics-Aware AI/ML Scientist (Scientist 2/3) Location Los Alamos, NM, US Organization Name CAI-2/Computational Physics and Methods Minimum Salary Maximum Salary This position is open for both internal and external candidates to apply. What You Will Do This position will be filled at either the Scientist 2 or Scientist 3 level, depending on the skills of the selected candidate. Additional job responsibilities (outlined below) will be assigned if the candidate is hired at the higher level. The Physics-Aware AI/ML Team within the Computational Physics and Methods group is looking for innovative researchers to design and implement physically-consistent, trustworthy AI/ML algorithms that provide solutions to demanding scientific and national-security problems. CAI - 2 is a dynamic, collaborative group engaged in the entire computational - physics workflow, from developing novel methods to delivering production - grade single - and multi - physics codes. We engage in fundamental and applied research across diverse fields, including radiation transport, fluid dynamics (specifically shock hydrodynamics, compressible and variable density turbulence, turbulent reacting flows, multi-phase-flows and hypersonic flows), metal casting and advanced manufacturing, Earth systems, astrophysics and plasma physics. Scientist 2 ($106,400-$176,000) Successful candidates will actively participate in collaborative projects and research activities combining physics subject matter expertise with knowledge of AI/ML methodologies to advance simulation capabilities for complex physical systems. Duties of this job include contributing to innovation in physics-aware AI/ML methods, advancing basic and applied science through rigorous physically-consistent modeling, and producing peer-reviewed publications, internal reports and presentations.
