The Center for Computing Research and the Computer Sciences and Information Systems Center at Sandia National Laboratories invite outstanding candidates to apply for the 2017 John von Neumann Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Computational Science.
This prestigious postdoctoral fellowship is supported by the Applied Mathematics Research Program in the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research. The fellowship provides an exceptional opportunity for innovative research in computational mathematics and scientific computing on advanced computing architectures with application to a broad range of science and engineering problems of national importance. Applicants must have or soon receive a Ph.D. in applied/computational mathematics or related computational science and engineering disciplines. Applicants must have less than three years of postdoctoral experience. This appointment is for one year, with a possible renewal for a second year, and includes a highly competitive salary, moving expenses and a generous professional travel allowance.
Sandia is one of the country’s largest research facilities employing nearly 10,000 people at major facilities in Albuquerque, New Mexico and Livermore, California. Sandia maintains research programs in a variety of areas such as computational and discrete mathematics, computational physics and engineering, systems software and tools. Sandia is a world leader in large-‐scale parallel computer systems, algorithms, software and applications, and provides a collaborative and highly multidisciplinary environment for solving computational problems at extreme scales. Sandia has a state-‐of-‐the-‐art parallel-‐computing environment consisting of advanced architectures, like the Cielo petascale machine, and numerous large-‐scale clusters and visualization servers, such as the 615-‐TFlop Sky Bridge cluster and the 409-‐TFlop Chama cluster.
