Date: Oct 8, 2020

Location: Oak Ridge, TN, US, 37830

Company: Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Requisition Id 4156 

Overview: 

The Neutron Sciences Directorate (NScD) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) operates the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR), the United States’ highest flux reactor based neutron source, and the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS), the world’s most intense pulsed accelerator based neutron source. Together these facilities operate 30 instruments for neutron scattering research, each year carrying out in excess of 1,000 experiments in the physical, chemical, materials, biological and medical sciences. HFIR also provides unique facilities for isotope production and neutron irradiation. To learn more about Neutron Sciences at ORNL go to: http://neutrons.ornl.gov. Oak Ridge National Laboratory is also a leader in computational and computer science, with unique strengths in high-performance computing and data analytics with applications to the physical and biological sciences. 

We are seeking a postdoctoral research associate who will focus on signal processing, statistical analysis, probabilistic theory and machine learning with emphasis on diagnostics and prognostics applications. This position resides in the Accelerator Science and Technology Section in the Research Accelerator Division, Neutron Sciences Diretorate at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).  

As part of our research team, you will work with accelerator and target systems specialists and machine learning experts to develop, integrate and apply machine learning methods to improve performance of the SNS 1.4 MW accelerator and target systems.

Major Duties/Responsibilities: 

• Develop, implement and apply new machine-learning (ML) and statistical methods techniques to sensor and component health monitoring, anomaly detection and fault isolation
• Develop and apply both first-principles-based and data-driven techniques to solving complex engineering problems
