Position Description: |
Open Date: March 2, 2021 Close Date: March 31, 2021 We Are: Fermilab is America’s premier laboratory for particle physics and accelerator research, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. We support discovery science experiments in Illinois and South Dakota and at locations around the world, including Canada, mountaintops in Arizona and Chile, and the South Pole. Members of our Scientific Computing Division collaborate on scientific projects using our computing expertise to develop and apply simulation and analysis tools to achieve success in expanding knowledge. The Scientific Computing Division is seeking a highly motivated individual to fill a Research Associate position. The successful candidate will employ High Performance Computing (HPC) techniques and resources to advance Fermilab’s mission in the areas of computational accelerator physics and high energy physics (HEP) data analytics through participation in two DOE funded projects SciDAC projects: ComPASS4 (accelerator modeling https://compass.fnal.gov) and "HEP Data Analytics on HPC” (https://computing.fnal.gov/hep-on-hpc). Both projects involve collaboration with multiple laboratories and institutions, using some of the world’s most advanced computing facilities such as NERSC, ALCF, and OLCF. The successful candidate will work with SciDAC ASCR FASTMath and RAPIDS Institutes, along with HEP partners to best utilize high-performance Python and C++ libraries. The position is for a period of up to three (3) years, with the potential for extension considered on a yearly basis thereafter. Work will include developing and optimizing parallel algorithms for computationally expensive problems in the areas of accelerator modeling and high energy physics analyses with an overall goal to enable large-scale parallelism and leverage accelerators available at HPC facilities. ComPASS4 SciDAC project activities could include: Developing capabilities and applying the Synergia (synergia.fnal.gov) accelerator modeling framework to:
