The SIAM Student Chapter will be hosting an information session for careers at Sandia National Laboratories.
Make a Difference: Mathematical Sciences R&D Careers at Sandia National Laboratories
Abstract: Brian Adams and colleagues will conduct a mathematics and statistics-specific information session including a brief overview of SNL’s mission, R&D areas, and opportunities in mathematics, statistics, and computational science. Staff and project profiles will demonstrate the ways you can contribute to high-impact problems in the national interest through fundamental math and computational science R&D, software/hardware development, and working in interdisciplinary teams on engineering applications. We are hiring at all degree levels.
Date: Thursday, October 22, 2020, 2:00p EST
Email Justen Geddes (jgeddes@ncsu.edu) or Tim Reid (twreid@ncsu.edu) for the Zoom Link

Additional Information
R&D Staff from Sandia National Laboratories will be recruiting top NCSU students at all degree levels in the coming weeks. With sites in NM and CA, SNL is a Department of Energy laboratory conducting wide-ranging science and engineering R&D supporting national security. Please join us for a virtual info session and/or career fair! Students who register and submit a CV will be considered for one-on-one meetings to discuss their interests and possible careers at SNL.
SNL are hiring for the following types of positions:
- Regular Staff (MS or PhD degrees); GPA may be considered, but no minimum
- Post-Doctoral Researcher (PhD degrees) ); GPA may be considered, but no minimum
- Summer or Year Round Intern (undergraduate or graduate); cumulative GPAs for all degrees must be above 3.0 on a 4.0 scale
Speakers from SNL will also be at the NC MS/PhD Virtual Career Fair on Thu, Oct 29.
