Post-Master’s or Postdoctoral Research Associate in Computational Nonlinear Dynamical Systems, USA

The Center for  Engineering Science Advanced Research (CESAR) in the Computer Science and  Mathematics (CSM) Division of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) seeks  candidates for innovative research in computational and theoretical nonlinear  dynamical systems.
Work will involve development of novel methodologies,  computer codes and algorithms to model the dynamics of semiconductor and fiber  lasers/amplifiers and laser arrays and their implementation on parallel  distributed multicore processor platforms. Successful candidates must have  proven experience in optics/lasers, nonlinear dynamical systems, and strong  computational skills. Programming skills in FORTRAN 95/2003 Linux and Windows  systems are desirable. The positions require MSc or, preferably, PhD degrees in  Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Theoretical  Physics, or related fields. Exceptional candidates with a BSc degree will also  be considered.

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

Postdoctoral Research Associate in Biophysics on 3D STEM, USA

The  Microscopy Group in the Materials Science and Technology Division at Oak Ridge  National Laboratory (ORNL) has a postdoctoral position available. We are  developing 3D scanning transmission electron microscopy, a novel method for  obtaining three-dimensional structural information about biological samples.  The technology is based on the principles of confocal microscopy but provides  higher resolution with the use of an aberration corrected scanning transmission  electron microscope (STEM). 3D STEM is a unique alternative for electron  tomography with potentially improved capabilities. The project is a collaboration  between ORNL and Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC). The position is  on 3D STEM imaging, deconvolution, and data analysis.

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

Postdoctoral Research Associate in Compiler and GPU Tools Research, USA

The Computer Science and Mathematics Division (CSM) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) seeks postdocs in the area of Software Application Tools to work in a programming environment for the petascale, and current and future ultra scale class platforms. This person will be part of the Application Performance Tools group, and will be expected to help contribute to bringing such an environment into being with technical contributions, as well as by working in collaboration with the user-community, industry, and the wider R&D community.
The Software Application Tools Developer will report to the Application Performance Tools Group Leader. The successful applicant will work with other staff members within the CSM and National Center for Computational Sciences organizations on providing a Programming Environment that meets the technical challenges posed by the petascale and exascale class of platforms, and that meets user requirement on these systems.

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