Requisition Id 16722
Overview:
We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate within the Advanced Machining and Machine Tool Research Group who will focus on developing, evaluating, and demonstrating advanced manufacturing technologies related to machining processes, machine tool performance, process monitoring, machine tool metrology, and/or manufacturing system integration. The successful candidate will support research and development projects that advance the state of the art in machining science, machine tool design and characterization, manufacturing process optimization, and digital manufacturing workflows.
This position resides in the Advanced Machining and Machine Tool Research Group in the Manufacturing Science Division, Energy Science and Technology Directorate, at Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Manufacturing Demonstration Facility.

Preferred Qualifications:
Special Requirements:
Please submit two letters of reference when applying to this position. You may upload these directly to your application or have them sent to [email protected] with the position title and number referenced in the subject line.
Instructions to upload documents to your candidate profile:
This position requires access to technology that is subject to export control requirements. Successful candidates must be qualified for such access without an export control license.
For employment at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), a Real ID compliant form of identification will be required. Additionally, ORNL is subject to Department of Energy (DOE) access restrictions. All employees must also be able to obtain and maintain a federal Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card as mandated by Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) and Department of Energy (DOE) Order 473.1A, which requires a favorable post-employment background investigation.
To obtain this credential, new employees must successfully complete and pass a Federal Tier 1 background check investigation. This investigation includes a declaration of illegal drug activities, including use, supply, possession, or manufacture within the last year. This includes marijuana and cannabis derivatives, which are still considered illegal under federal law, regardless of state laws.
For foreign national candidates:
If you have not resided in the U.S. for three consecutive years, you are not eligible for the PIV credential and instead will need to obtain a favorable Local Site Specific Only (LSSO) risk determination to maintain employment. Once you meet the three-year residency requirement, you will be required to obtain a PIV credential to maintain employment.
