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.
