—Tenure Track Assistant or Tenure Track/Tenured Associate Professor Search—


The Department of Atmospheric Sciences within the School of Earth, Society, and Environment at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track/tenured faculty position at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor in climate science. The position is a nine-month academic appointment with a target start date of August 16, 2012.

The area of research, within the context of climate science, is open. Possible areas of emphasis include, but are not limited to, causes of past and future climate change; studies of climate and climate change at regional to global scales using numerical modeling, data analysis, and/or remote sensing techniques; climate change impacts and the mitigation of, and adaptation to future impacts of a changing climate. Candidates with exceptional strengths in other related research areas are also welcome to apply.

The successful candidate must have a Ph.D. degree by the date of appointment. The candidate must show the potential to establish a quality research and teaching program and collaborate effectively with other faculty. For consideration at the Associate level, the candidate must also demonstrate a strong external funding and publication record. A tenured Associate Professor appointment is possible for a candidate with the appropriate research credentials who has demonstrated excellence in teaching at either or both the graduate and undergraduate levels, commensurate with tenure guidelines at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

The Department currently comprises 10 faculty, 5 emeritus faculty, 8 affiliated and adjunct faculty, 1 lecturer, 1 instructor, 9 research scientists, 51 graduate students, and 80 undergraduates. The members of the Department work in a broad range of research areas. Opportunities are available for collaborations with departments across the university, with linkages already existing with the Departments of Geography and Geology within the School of Earth, Society, and Environment, the Illinois State Water Survey, the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), the Electrical and Civil Engineering Departments and many others. More information about the department can be found at www.atmos.illinois.edu, and about the School of Earth, Society and Environment at www.earth.illinois.edu.

A competitive salary, commensurate with qualifications and experience, and benefits package will be offered. To ensure full consideration applications must be submitted online by December 15, 2011. Create your U of I application through http://jobs.illinois.edu and upload your application materials: cover letter, vita, list of publications, record of research funding, teaching record, description of research and teaching interests, and names and email addresses of at least 3 references. Applicants may be interviewed before the closing date; however, no hiring decision will be made until after that date.

Several NERSC HPC PostDocs Available

Summary

Berkeley Lab anticipates several openings for post-doctoral fellows in the NERSC Division to address the challenges of petascale computing on new multicore architectures. The fellows will work with high-profile applications in the areas of bioscience, fusion, climate and material science as well as in the development of scalable algorithms and novel language implementations for modern petascale systems. The fellows will have access to leading edge computational platforms as well as prototypes of experimental systems and close interaction with DOE Office of Science Principal Investigators who are receiving significant allocations of high-end computer time under the ASCR Leadership Computing Challenge. Interaction with faculty and students of the University of California, Berkeley and other major research universities is available depending on the specific project. The fellows will have the opportunity to gain experience in the NERSC production environment facility and practical knowledge of the skills necessary for deployment of large-scale multi-user hardware and software.

Duties

The fellow will participate in research projects to develop, analyze, and optimize performance of HPC applications and their run-time environment. This project may involve several of the following activities: analysis and optimization of parallel application programs; benchmarking these codes on systems from single CPUs to large scale HPC systems; the development of improved algorithms for multi-core systems; research in a specific computational application domain; publication and dissemination of these research activities through refereed publications and conference presentations.

Qualifications

Required: PhD degree in computer science, computational science, applied mathematics or a related scientific/engineering application domain area is required. Excellent written and oral communication skills are required. Demonstrated ability to work independently, work collaboratively in an interdisciplinary team, and contribute to an active intellectual environment. Experience with code development in a UNIX/Linux - based environment.

Desired: Experience in one or more of the following areas: (1) High-performance computing, (2) Domain science expertise relevant to biosciences, climate, fusion, or similar application fields, (3) Experience tuning and debugging large science applications, (4) Advanced HPC languages and methods (PGAS, CUDA, OpenCL, etc.).

Equal Employment Opportunity

Berkeley Lab is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer committed to the development of a diverse workforce.

Notes

All positions require the completion of a background check. This is a one-year term appointment with the possibility of renewal. The Berkeley Lab offers competitive salaries for post-doctoral positions with excellent benefits.
