======================================

Scientific Computing Postdoctoral Fellow

Requisition Number: 017473
Division: Computational Research Div
Department: HPC Research Department
Date Opened: 09/08/2004


KEY SKILLS: algorithm development, writing scientific codes, C, 
C++, Matlab, and Unix.

POSITION SUMMARY: Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has an 
opening for a visiting postdoctoral fellow in the Computational 
Research Division to work on the development of modeling and 
simulation methods for electric power systems.

DUTIES: Required -- The primary duty for this position is the 
development of combinatorial and numerical optimization methods 
and scalable algorithms for electric power systems. The position 
will involve working on a multidisciplinary team that involves 
combinatorial algorithms and nonlinear optimization as well as 
electric power systems experts. The postdoctoral fellow will work 
with Ali Pinar, Chao Yang, and Juan Meza in the High Performance 
Computing Research Department. In addition, the position will 
involve collaborations with Bernard Lesieutre (EETD, LBNL).

QUALIFICATIONS: Required -- A Ph.D. in computer science, 
mathematics, electrical engineering, operations research, industrial 
engineering or a related field is required. Experience in 
optimization and writing scientific codes is highly desired. 
Programming experience in C or C++ is highly desired. Some 
experience in parallel programming is also desirable. In addition, 
good communication skills, both verbal and written, are required.

NOTES: This is a one-year term appointment with the possibility of 
renewal. Post-doctoral salaries depend on the number of years of 
experience and are competitive with market. Our division is closely 
affiliated with the National Energy Research Supercomputing Center 
at LBNL. The scientific computing group is a diverse group working 
on various aspects of scientific computing and computational 
sciences. More information about our research activities can be
