2021 Alvarez-Hopper Postdoctoral Fellow - 91062Organization: AC-Computing The Computing Sciences Area at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is now accepting applications for the distinguished Luis W. Alvarez Postdoctoral Fellowship and Admiral Grace M. Hopper Postdoctoral Fellowship in Computing Sciences. Researchers in computer science, mathematics, or any computational science discipline who have received their Ph.D. within the last three years are encouraged to apply. The successful applicants will work with a research group within the Computing Sciences Area and receive a competitive salary, professional travel allowance, relocation assistance, excellent benefits, and an opportunity to work in the dynamic San Francisco Bay Area. Since its founding in 2002, Berkeley Lab's Luis W. Alvarez Postdoctoral Fellowship (go.lbl.gov/alvarez) has cultivated exceptional early career scientists who have gone on to make outstanding contributions to computer science, mathematics, and computational sciences. The Admiral Grace Hopper Fellowship (go.lbl.gov/hopper) was first awarded in 2015 with the goal of enabling early career scientists to make outstanding contributions in high performance computing (HPC) research. About Computing Sciences at Berkeley Lab:Whether running extreme-scale simulations on a supercomputer or applying machine-learning or data analysis to massive datasets, scientists today rely on advances in and integration across applied mathematics, computer science, and computational science, as well as large-scale computing and networking facilities, to increase our understanding of ourselves, our planet, and our universe. Berkeley Lab's Computing Sciences Area researches, develops, and deploys new tools and technologies to meet these needs and to advance research in our core capabilities of applied mathematics, computer science, and computational science. In addition to fundamental advances in our core capabilities, we impact such areas as materials science, chemistry, biology, astrophysics, climate change, combustion, fusion energy, and HPC systems and network technology. Research areas in Computing Sciences include: Developing scientific applications and software technologies for extreme-scale and energy-efficient computing Developing mathematical modeling for complex scientific problems Designing algorithms to improve the performance of scientific applications Researching digital and post-digital computer architectures for science Advancing extreme-scale scientific data management, analysis, and machine-learning Developing next-generation machine learning and AI approaches for science Advancing quantum computing technologies, software, algorithms and applications Evaluating or developing new and promising HPC systems and networking technologies Researching methods to control and manage dynamic circuit networks Developing large-scale visualization and analytics technologies Managing scientific data in distributed environments What is Required: Ph.D. in computer science, mathematics, computational science, or related discipline Candidates must have received their Ph.D. within the last three years Expertise with advanced algorithms, software techniques, HPC systems and/or networking in a related research field Demonstrated creativity and the ability to perform independent research Demonstrated excellence in a related research field including: solid publication record, high citations, and awards Ability to develop new cross-disciplinary partnerships that use advanced computational and/or mathematical techniques to produce unique lab capabilities Excellent communication skills with the ability to facilitate communications and collaborations with internal and external stakeholders Desired Qualifications: Knowledge of advanced computing and high-performance computing Application Process:For full consideration, please apply by close of business on November 9, 2020.
