Postdoctoral Research Associate in CSC

[pothen]

Post Doctoral Research Associate
Combinatorial Scientific Computing

We invite applications for a postdoctoral research associate with research interests in parallel computing, combinatorial algorithms, and/or scientific computing, to join the CSCAPES Institute funded by the Department of Energy's Office of Science. This position is at Old Dominion University (ODU), in Norfolk VA. Employment will be through the Old Dominion University Research Foundation, a private non-profit corporation.

The CSCAPES (Combinatorial Scientific Computing and Petascale Simulations) Institute, is led by Alex Pothen from ODU, and includes additional ODU researchers and researchers from Sandia and Argonne National Laboratories, Ohio State and Colorado State Universities. The CSCAPES Institute is funded by the Department of Energy's  Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing (SciDAC) program. The research involves developing algorithms for combinatorial problems arising in scientific computing, such as load-balancing, automatic differentiation, parallel algorithms for graph coloring and graph matching, and performance enhancement on tera- and peta-scale computers.

The work at ODU will primarily focus on combinatorial problems in automatic differentiation, and massively parallel algorithms and software development for graph matching and coloring. The post-doctoral scientist will be expected to collaborate with researchers from other institutions in the CSCAPES project as well as domain scientists and engineers from other SciDAC projects. More details on the CSCAPES Institute are available at www.cscapes.org. The position will be offered initially for up to one year, and is renewable, based on satisfactory performance during the  CSCAPES project. Alumni of the ODU computational sciences research group have found ongoing employment at the DOE labs, major universities, and industry.

 The application deadline is May 1, 2007, with an expected start date in June/July 2007 (negotiable). To apply, send a resume and request three confidential letters of references to Old Dominion University Research Foundation, P.O. Box 6369, Norfolk, VA 23508 or e-mail odurfjobs@....  Specify job # 07022.  AA/EOE
