Job Title | Scientist 2/3 (Data Science at Scale Team) | |
Location | Los Alamos, NM, US | |
Organization Name | CCS-7/Applied Computer Science | |
What You Will Do The Applied Computer Science group (CCS-7) is the Laboratory’s vanguard research organization for scientific applications at extreme scale. The four focus areas of the group are (1) applications, algorithms, and hardware co-design; (2) collaborative programming and development of scientific applications; (3) programming models, runtime systems and tools; and (4) data science and visualization at scale. Projects are funded by a variety of federal funding agencies and typically involve collaborations inside and outside of the Laboratory, in line with the group’s commitment to engage with theoretical, experimental, and computer-systems scientists to develop integrated, cross-disciplinary solutions at extreme scale. CCS-7 invites applicants for a position of Scientist 2 or 3 to join the Data Science at Scale Team and strengthen our existing software efforts in visualization and data analytics for large scientific simulations. We seek candidates who want to make significant contributions to the long-term health of visualization, data analytics, multi/many-core analytics programming, and commercial virtualized data environments at LANL as we achieve all of our milestones, prepare to deal with the complexities of future computer architectures and the challenges of ever-growing data sizes, and continue to grow LANL’s capabilities in these important areas. The successful candidate is expected to be a self-starter, given initial direction and requirements from technical project leads, and work as part of a collaborative, multidisciplinary team to support the group’s core competencies in data science at scale. This position will be filled at either the Scientist 2/3 level, depending on the skills of the selected candidate. Additional job responsibilities (outlined below) will be assigned if the candidate is hired at the higher level.
