Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Develop and apply advanced AI/ML algorithms to solve complex problems in nuclear safeguards, warhead monitoring, and fundamental physics. Collaborate with research staff to improve measurement fidelity and document results through high-impact publications and technical reports.
Requires a bachelor's degree in physics, computer science, or mathematics with at least 5 years of experience in data science. Candidates must be able to obtain a Department of Energy security clearance and pass substance abuse testing.
Requisition Id 16760
Overview:
We are seeking an Applied Data Scientist to perform development of novel and advanced AI/ML algorithms. This work will support a broad user base by applying AI methods that span low-power edge computing utilizing spiking neural network algorithms to large models utilizing agentic AI to solve complicated problems in nuclear safeguards, warhead monitoring and fundamental physics. Experience with sensor modalities such as radiation detectors, event-based cameras and seismo-acoustic sensors is needed. This role resides in the Advanced Detection and Applied Data Science (ADADS) group, Nuclear Structure & Advanced Technologies Section, Physics Division, Physical Sciences Directorate, at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).
ADADS draws from fundamental physics to develop technologies and processes that support the design, development, and deployment of high-sensitivity detection systems for measuring radiation and other physics phenomenologies. The group focuses on the development and evaluation of novel and advanced radiation detector and non-destructive evaluation concepts for basic science, nonproliferation, national security, and intelligence organizations. The ADADS group performs the research and technology development to evolve these advanced concepts from conception to demonstration or deployment with particular emphasis on sensitivity and specificity in actual field operations, including use of radiation transport codes to model these systems and analysis codes to isolate signals of interest.
Major Duties/Responsibilities:
In this role, you will work with and support research staff within ADADS and throughout ORNL to develop and apply modern data science/machine learning techniques to a wide variety of subjects including the characterization of nuclear material and nuclear facility operations, as well as more fundamental physics research. The research involves development and testing of novel data analytics processes and specialized methods to improve measurement fidelity and reduce uncertainties in models used for real-world decisions. Results will be documented by publication in high impact papers, journals, conference papers and technical reports. The work will involve collaboration in a team environment performing project work and developing research proposals.
