Postdoctoral or Post-Master’s Research Associates,USA: Computer Science Research group

The Oak Ridge National Laboratory invites applications for postdoctoral and post-master’s term appointments in the Computer Science Research Group of the Computer Science and Mathematics Division. Opportunities are anticipated in several of the group’s projects, in both research and software development roles, and more than one appointment may be considered.
The Group’s research covers a broad spectrum of areas associated with high-performance parallel and distributed computing and interacts strongly with large-scale applications in several scientific fields, including computational biology, plasma physics, computational chemistry, and climate modeling. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

-Operating systems
-Compilers
-Computer architectures
-Component middleware for HPC
-Software testing infrastructures
-Deployment and maintenance of distributed/grid software environments
-Interface contracts, design by contract methodologies
-Fault tolerance for systems- and application-level software, and algorithms
-Virtualization techniques, hypervisors, and virtual environments
-Reliability, availability, and serviceability of HPC systems; monitoring and modeling
-Accelerators (e.g. FPGA, GPGPU) for scientific applications (especially computational biology)
-HPC I/O architectures
-Parallel programming models and languages

Successful candidates will have a proven track record in one or more of the areas of interest, excellent communication skills, and the ability to work as part of a team.  Experience in high-performance computing would be valuable, and is required for some projects. Demonstrated experience with the development of large, complex software systems would also be beneficial. Applicants should clearly state relevant experience and skills, including level of proficiency, and indicate whether they are seeking a research-oriented or software development position.

Scholarship Application Deadline: Applications may be submitted throughout the year, and appointments may begin at any time.

Postdoctoral or Post-Master’s Research Associate in the Computer Science Research Group, USA

The  Oak Ridge National Laboratory invites applications for Postdoctoral and  Post-Master’s term research appointments in the Computer Science Research Group  of the Computer Science and Mathematics Division. The appointment is initially  limited to one year from start with an option for a second year contingent to  funding availability. It is part of a research project that aims at developing  a soft error resilience strategy for future-generation extreme-scale  high-performance computing (HPC) systems. Soft errors are an emerging threat  for these systems. Uncorrectable errors that occur in an ECC memory module once  within a few million hours can cause a system error rate of a few hours. Also,  undetected errors (silent data corruptions) are becoming a problem as well.

Scholarship Application Deadline: Applications may be submitted throughout the year, and appointments may begin at any time.
