Position Announcement:

*** Open Science Grid
*** Coordinator of Education, Outreach and Training

The Computation Institute of the University of Chicago and Argonne
National Laboratory is seeking an educationally-focused
computational scientist to create and lead the education, outreach
and training program of OSG - the Open Science Grid. OSG is a $30M
collaborative research network with thousands of users in the US and
worldwide, supported jointly by the Department of Energy and the
National Science Foundation.

This is a pedagogically-focused management position with significant
responsibility to create and shape innovative and effective programs
that enable new users and communities to harness OSG for scientific
research.

We seek to develop a collaborative and vibrant education community
that enables students, educators and researchers in computational
science, engineering and other disciplines to use the vast
distributed resources of the Open Science Grid.

The position will be based at The University of Chicago and Argonne,
and involve collaboration with grid developers and users both
nationally and internationally. All training will be through
hands-on laboratory work, involving students of all levels in direct
and immediate use of grid technology.

The incumbent will lead the design and development of education and
training vehicles that include workshops, online self-paced courses,
learner-support communities and mentorship programs. This effort
will form a network of contributors throughout the grid community to
develop, maintain and present educational courses with hands-on
training labs.

An exciting aspect of the role and vision is to develop and conduct
outreach programs that involve, support and leverage students,
groups and institutions that are under-represented and/or
under-resourced in the area of high performance computing.

This is a position where unlimited creativity can be applied to make
a vital contribution to critical national priorities in science and
education.

Requirements include:

* An MS or PhD in a scientific or engineering discipline
 is highly desired
* Education and training experience is required
* Programming and scientific computing experience is highly desired
* Experience in project management, budgeting and evaluation
 is highly desired
* Excellent communication, organization and leadership skills
 are required.
