Research Scientist Position at
                      the University of Tennessee
              
We have immediate openings for a RESEARCH SCIENTIST in the area of
PROGRAMMING TOOLS FOR PARALLEL COMPUTATION to support the Department
of Defense High Performance Computation Modernization Program.  All
qualified researchers are invited to apply.
 
The goal of the DOD HPC Modernization Program
(http://www.hpcm.dren.net/) is to supply the DOD
with world-class computing power for applications.
To this end, the DOD has formed the Programming Environment and
Training (PET) program, a coalition of universities to bring the best
available HPC techniques to bear on DOD problems.  The Center for
Research on Parallel Computation (CRPC), headquartered at Rice
University, is leading the PET effort in the area of programming
tools.  

Responsibilities of the research scientist position are to interact
with HPC users, determine their needs, and supply appropriate software
tools and training to meet those needs.  We view "tools" broadly,
including (but not limited to):
 
        * Compilers
        * Debuggers
        * Performance analysis
        * Scientific/math subroutine libraries
        * Message-passing libraries
        * Scalable input/output systems
        * Problem Solving Environments
 
Depending on the precise needs found, the research scientist may
locate these tools (on the WWW, for example), evaluate tools, extend
some tools, and train users in applying the tools.

The position at the University of Tennessee will involve interaction
with established parallel tools research groups at the University
of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, as well as frequent
trips to the DOD Major Shared Resource Centers (MSRCs) to visit customers,
and to other CRPC sites to consult with researchers.
The position requires a PhD in a computational field or equivalent
experience.  The ideal candidate would have a CS degree and strong
experience in running scientific computations.  Experience with
developing, evaluating, or using parallel programming tools is also
desired.  The position requires either U.S. citizenship or permanent
U.S. residence status.
