Whether running trillions of calculations on a supercomputer or visualizing
and analyzing massive datasets, scientists today rely on advances in
computer science, mathematics, and computational science, as well as
large-scale computing and networking facilities, to increase our
understanding of ourselves, our planet, and our universe. Berkeley Lab's
Computing Sciences organization researches, develops, and deploys new tools
and technologies to meet these needs and to advance research in such areas
as global climate change, combustion, fusion energy, nanotechnology,
biology, and astrophysics.

 

If you are looking to be part of something great, join our team! Currently,
we have the following postdoc opportunities:

 

 

COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCE POSTDOC FELLOW

http://jobs.lbl.gov/LBNLCareers/details.asp?jid=23380
<http://jobs.lbl.gov/LBNLCareers/details.asp?jid=23380&p=1> &p=1

 

Duties:

The Scientific Computing Group has an immediate opening for a postdoctoral
fellow to work on the development of algorithms and their application to
large-scale computational science problems that are relevant to DOE and
LBNL. The research activities will include the development of computational
algorithms on high performance computers for scientific applications, such
as the analysis of the electric power grid and materials simulations for
carbon capture. The current focus of the computational algorithms is on
optimization and discrete and combinatorial methods.  

 

Qualifications

Required -Ph.D. in Computational or Applied Mathematics, Computer Science,
or Computational Science within the last 3 years is required, with a strong
background in computational mathematics. Some knowledge of optimization,
discrete mathematics and physics or chemistry is desirable. The successful
candidate should be able to program in C++ and Fortran, and should have
experience in parallel computing and MPI. Excellent communication skills are
essential.

Berkeley Lab has several openings for postdoctoral fellows in the NERSC
Division to address the challenges of petascale computing on new multicore
architectures. The fellows will work with high-profile applications in the
areas of bioscience, fusion, climate and material science as well as in the
development of scalable algorithms and novel language implementations for
modern petascale systems. The fellows will have access to leading edge
computational platforms as well as prototypes of experimental systems and
close interaction with DOE Office of Science Principal Investigators who are
receiving significant allocations of high-end computer time under the ASCR
Leadership Computing Challenge. Interaction with faculty and students of the
University of California, Berkeley and other major research universities is
available depending on the specific project. The fellows will have the
opportunity to gain experience in the NERSC production environment facility
and practical knowledge of the skills necessary for deployment of
large-scale multi-user hardware and software. 

 

Duties

The fellow will participate in research projects to develop, analyze, and
optimize performance of HPC applications and their run-time environment.
This project may involve several of the following activities: analysis and
optimization of parallel application programs; benchmarking these codes on
systems from single CPUs to large scale HPC systems; the development of
improved algorithms for multi-core systems; research in a specific
computational application domain; publication and dissemination of these
research activities through refereed publications and conference
presentations.

 

Qualifications

Required: PhD degree in computer science, computational science, applied
mathematics or a related scientific/engineering application domain area is
required. Excellent written and oral communication skills are required.
Demonstrated ability to work independently, work collaboratively in an
interdisciplinary team, and contribute to an active intellectual
environment. Experience with code development in a UNIX/Linux - based
environment. Desired: Experience in one or more of the following areas: (1)
High-performance computing, (2) Domain science expertise relevant to
biosciences, climate, fusion, or similar application fields, (3) Experience
tuning and debugging large science applications, (4) Advanced HPC languages
and methods (PGAS, CUDA, OpenCL, etc.).
