Jobs at Brookhaven National Laboratory

Perform postdoctoral research to advance GridFM foundation models for electric power grids: extend capabilities to distribution networks, develop scalable graph-based ML models, expand training-data generation, create benchmarks, and evaluate, fine-tune, and deploy models with attention to uncertainty quantification, robustness, and large-scale GPU training.

Constructs, installs, repairs, and finishes cabinets, furniture, and related fixtures working from drawings and verbal instructions. Operates woodworking machinery and hand tools, interprets blueprints, installs and configures casework and workplace items, performs maintenance and quality inspections, and collaborates with supervisors, contractors, and designers. Maintains safety compliance, records materials used, and may perform related carpenter duties.

Lead a technical Section for the EIC accelerator: provide strategic leadership, manage budgets/resources, ensure technical stewardship across design, fabrication, installation, commissioning, and operations, drive project delivery, enforce quality/safety/compliance, and develop high-performing engineering teams.

Lead a ~75-person accelerator division with ~$60M budget to ensure safe, reliable RHIC and injector operations, oversee transition and operational readiness for the Electron-Ion Collider, direct infrastructure modernization, maintenance, reliability, safety and regulatory compliance, manage workforce development and stakeholder engagement, and represent the division to DOE and external partners.

Develop and deploy AI-driven laboratory workflows for high-throughput crystallization screening and optimization. Create computer-vision methods to detect and track crystal growth, build closed-loop optimization and recommendation systems, integrate ML models with robotics and imaging platforms, construct scalable data pipelines combining metadata, images and diffraction results, evaluate and deploy models in user workflows, collaborate with beamline and lab staff, and document and publish results.

Lead full-cycle recruitment for scientific, engineering, technical, skilled trades, and operational roles. Serve as a trusted talent advisor, develop sourcing strategies and diverse pipelines, manage multiple complex searches, ensure federal compliance, use recruiting metrics to drive improvements, mentor team members, and represent the laboratory at outreach events. Requires stakeholder partnership, strong project management, and candidate-focused communication.

Lead and manage procurement and subcontracts for Brookhaven National Laboratory, overseeing planning, solicitation, negotiation, award, and administration of large, complex contracts. Ensure FAR and regulatory compliance, perform cost/price analyses, manage vendor selection and performance, track customer-supplied property, streamline procurement processes, lead source selection committees, and supervise purchasing/subcontracts staff.

Design, test, and implement integrated hardware solutions (racks, instrumentation chassis, I/O enclosures) for controls and data acquisition at NSLS-II. Collaborate with scientists/engineers to define requirements, propose and execute hardware integration projects, develop drivers and control software layers, document designs and tests, and advise teams on best practices while maintaining electrical safety.

Provide strategic and operational leadership for the EIC Technical Division, overseeing engineering, design, procurement, fabrication, installation, testing, commissioning, operations, and lifecycle management of accelerator systems; manage budgets, staffing, safety, quality, and stakeholder engagement to ensure successful project delivery and long-term operational readiness.

Lead a team of electrical engineers and technicians to design, integrate, and operate AC power systems, power-supply cables, cable trays, and rack plants for the EIC. Serve as Control Account Manager tracking schedule, cost, and earned-value metrics; manage fabrication, standards, quality control, documentation, and cross-disciplinary coordination. Ensure compliance with codes, safety, and project processes through design, procurement, installation, and commissioning support.

Perform high-precision advanced manufacturing and in situ multimodal synchrotron x-ray experiments at NSLS-II, integrate and analyze multimodal datasets, develop AI-driven and physics-based predictive models and closed-loop experiment-simulation-AI workflows, collaborate on simulations and publish results to accelerate discovery and optimization of hierarchical metamaterials.

Design and validate mechanical components and systems for the Electron-Ion Collider using 3D CAD and FEA; prepare specs and SOWs; oversee procurement, fabrication, assembly, testing and installation; manage project plans, schedules, budgets; conduct design reviews and present results; collaborate with engineers, scientists, and technicians; provide engineering direction and reports.

Lead systems integration for the Electron-Ion Collider: develop and validate performance requirements, manage cross-system interfaces, coordinate technical reviews and meetings, support design reviews, and plan/assist installation and removal activities ensuring system-level traceability and safe implementation.

Lead design, operation, and maintenance of campus medium- and low-voltage electrical transmission and distribution systems. Perform system analysis, load studies, fault calculations, prepare design documents and safety/switching procedures, supervise installations and contractors, procure specialized services, provide technical guidance during outages, support commissioning, and ensure code and safety compliance.

Postdoctoral researcher to develop AI/ML algorithms (GANs/MLLMs) for remote sensing of uranium-containing materials. Maintain and upload laboratory spectral databases, coordinate and assist experimental spectral data collection, collaborate with partner institutions, publish results, and participate in meetings and experiments at Stony Brook. Must obtain DOE Q clearance.

Perform research on electric power grid cyber-physical modeling and simulation, study power system dynamics and control with high inverter-based resources, and develop/apply AI/ML techniques for planning, operation, control, and cybersecurity of power systems.

Conduct fundamental and applied research in embodied and agentic AI and robotics (software and hardware), collaborate across interdisciplinary teams, publish results, and support proposals and partnerships to advance robotics for scientific workflows.

Lead the Laboratory's radiological instrumentation and calibration program as technical authority. Oversee instrument selection, calibration, testing, troubleshooting, lifecycle management, and compliance with DOE/NIST/ANSI standards. Supervise technicians, develop procedures, manage calibration facility assets, support audits and emergency response, and ensure program performance and regulatory compliance.

Design and document complex mechanical components and systems for an accelerator using 3D CAD; produce fabrication drawings to ANSI Y14.5; support fabrication, testing, installation and commissioning; lead/coordinate project design efforts and mentor drafting staff; participate in design and safety reviews and collaborate with scientists, engineers, and technical staff.

Support engineering, operation, and maintenance of medium- and low-voltage electrical transmission and distribution systems.
