Research Positions available at The University of Tennessee in High-Performance Distributed Computing (3/3/99)


The NetSolve project is expanding and the Innovative Computing Laboratory of the University of Tennessee is looking for qualified people who want to participate. NetSolve is a software environment for high performance network computing that aggregates distributed computational resources for remote scientific problem solving. We invite applications from capable students, masters level programmers, and postdoctoral researchers who want to work and learn in this area. The candidates selected will help lead collaborative research projects investigating both NetSolve and other innovative software technologies and tools for building computational grids and problem solving environments.

The benefits of the positions available include a competitive salary, participation in leading research collaborations in the national and international scientific community, opportunities for publication and professional development, travel opportunities, and ready access to state-of-the-art computing facilities, such as supercomputers, high-performance workstations and laptops, and high-performance networks.

The position requires experience in the development of parallel and distributed computing tools, especially in C, C++, Java, and Fortran. Familiarity with scientific computing, parallel architectures, networking, and emerging network technologies is also desired. Responsibilities as a participant in the research team include designing, prototyping, experimentally testing, maintaining, and documenting computer systems related to this project.

This project is supported in part by the NSF NPACI, the NSF Alliance, NSF CRPC, and the DOE2000 activities.
