| The Fermilab Theoretical Physics Department and the Scientific Computing
Division expect to make a Research Associate postdoctoral appointment for
a 3-year term beginning July 2018.
We aim to develop a new open-source matrix element integration
and event distribution framework that leverages the full power of high-performance
computing. This will allow much more complex background calculations, and
enable the scalability of event generators such as Sherpa, Pythia and
Herwig. The project is partially funded the US Department of Energy's
"Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing" program and will be a close
collaboration of Pythia (Stefan Prestel, Stephen Mrenna) and Sherpa
developers (Stefan Hoeche), and with project members at Fermilab, SLAC and
ANL (Taylor Childers).
The successful applicant is expected to work with the project members
on the construction of this framework, and should bring expertise in Monte-Carlo
event generators and parallel computing.
We have strong ties to experimental groups interested in high-energy collider
physics and neutrino physics. Further information about our groups can be found
at http://theory.fnal.gov/ and http://computing.fnal.gov/.
Applications should include a CV, a statement of research interests, a publication
list and the names of three senior scientists who should directly provide letters of
recommendation. Applications received before June 10, 2018 will given
full consideration.
Fermilab is an affirmative action, equal opportunity employer.
