Organization Name
CCS-3/Information Sciences
What You Will Do The Computer, Computational, and Statistical Sciences (CCS) Division is a vibrant scientific research and development organization working in multiple mission areas of Los Alamos National Laboratory, including information science and technology, basic science and technology research programs, computing programs, energy and climate programs, and the nuclear weapons program. The division is comprised of scientists (85% PhD) focused on impactful research and development in fundamental computer science, computational physics, algorithms, high-performance computing, statistics, and applied mathematics. CCS Division bridges the computational sciences that are central to scientific discovery and innovation with external partners and laboratory programs to solve complex and fundamental problems ranging from metagenomics to nuclear energy.
The Information Sciences group (CCS-3) has an opening for a postdoctoral research associate in the area of modeling and optimization for novel hardware architectures. Selected candidates will participate in multi-year projects to develop a comprehensive performance-prediction and optimization capability for next-generation HPC platforms. For this interdisciplinary project, we are looking for candidates with a strong background in as many of the following areas as possible:
· Computer architectures with a focus on novel concepts used in high-performance platforms (codesign, GPUs, many-cores, etc.)
· Modeling performance such as execution time, energy consumption, cache misses
· Design of efficient parallel algorithms
· Discrete and global optimization
· Machine learning
· Advanced programming skills
· Discrete-Event Simulation
We offer the opportunity to work in a multi-disciplinary team.
What You Need
Minimum Job Requirements:
· A PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field
· Research-level expertise in at least one of the following: computer architecture, discrete optimization, parallel computing, software/hardware codesign, discrete-event simulation
· Strong programming skills
· Demonstrated ability to publish research in peer-reviewed journals or conference proceedings
· Willingness to work in interdisciplinary project teams and learn about other fields
Desired Skills
· Background or research-level expertise in as many of the following: discrete-event simulation, computer architectures, operating systems and middleware, computational physics, bioinformatics
· Ability to obtain Q clearance, which normally requires US citizenship
Education: PhD in related field completed within the past five years or soon to be completed.
Notes to Applicants: In addition to applying on-line, interested candidates should send their academic style CV including a brief description of their research interests to Hristo Djidjev at djidjev@lanl.gov.
Additional Details:
Pre-Employment Drug Test: The Laboratory requires successful applicants to complete a pre-employment drug test and maintains a substance abuse policy that includes random drug testing.
Candidates may be considered for a Director's Fellowship and outstanding candidates may be considered for the prestigious Marie Curie, Richard P. Feynman, J. Robert Oppenheimer, or Frederick Reines Fellowships.
