Dear colleagues, We are seeking a person to fill a post-doc position on an exciting project. Details of the job are below. Please forward this email to interested parties. The job posting, and instructions for applying, are located here: https://lbl.taleo.net/careersection/2/jobdetail.ftl?lang=en&job=76206 Computer Scientist Postdoc Fellow- High Performance Scientific Data Management and Processing-76206 Organization:CR-Computational Research Description The Science Software Systems Group has an immediate opening for a postdoctoral researcher to conduct applied research in the area of high performance scientific data management and processing. The overall objectives for this work are to develop and deploy technologies that automate data movement and sharing from experiment through processing to sharing/dissemination. The project will focus on experimental data being collected at the Advanced Light Source (ALS): moving data to the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) across the Energy Sciences Network (ESnet), assembling automated processing workflows comprised of a variety of pre-existing and to-be-developed data analysis, manipulation, and visualization tools; stage data, data products, and analysis/visualization products for dissemination to individuals and communities via pre-existing and to-be-developed web-based technologies. This position will be part of an experienced team conducting R&D in the areas of data-intensive, high performance, visualization, analysis, and data management. The candidate will be working as part of a multi-disciplinary team composed of computer, computational, and experimental scientists. Specific responsibilities: Design and implementation of a big data scientific workflow system capable of handling data volumes and complexity of current and next-generation ALS experiments and simulations. Design and implementation of a high-performance, large-data, data access and sharing system for ALS experimental data. Publish and present research results in journals and conferences. Required qualifications/skills: PhD in Computer Science or equivalent/related field, the degree must have been awarded in the past five years to be eligible for a postdoctoral researcher position. Demonstrable research experience in one or more of the following areas: a) High-performance data management b) Scientific workflow, as evidenced by original, published work. Demonstrated ability to design and implement high-quality software on a time-critical path, in one or more of the following programming languages and parallel libraries/languages/environments: C/C++, Python, Java, MPI, pthreads, OpenMP, OpenCL, CUDA, R. Excellent oral and written communication skills. Ability to work productively both independently and as part of a diverse team. Additional desired qualifications/skills: Software engineering tools: make, cmake, revision control systems (CVS, SVN, git), gdb. Exposure to/experience with: o Web infrastructure software: DJango, NEWT (https://newt.nersc.gov/) o No-SQL database technologies, including use of as well as design and implementation: MongoDB Prior work experience designing and implementing data movement and management, including use of Globus and Globus Sharing. Familiarity with scientific data models/formats and I/O libraries: eg. HDF5 Notes This is a 1-year postdoctoral appointment with the possibility of renewal based upon satisfactory job performance, continued funding and research needs. Background checks are required for all hires. Berkeley Lab is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer committed to the development of a diverse workforce. Learn more at lbl.gov/.
