Overview The
Discrete Algorithms Group is
seeking qualified applicants for a postdoctoral position. The group designs novel
algorithms and foundations for discrete structures, including AI, graph
algorithms and discrete optimization. This group works to improve and expand
the functionality of existing computational algorithms to make them compatible
with the novel architectures of upcoming supercomputers, as well as to optimize
them for fields of particular interest to the Department of Energy, including
neuromorphic computing and quantum computing. This position is within the Mathematics in Computation
Section in the Computer Science and Mathematics (CSM) Division. The
Mathematics in Computation Section creates the mathematics and algorithms that
harness machines, ideas, and data, that enable far reaching scientific
breakthroughs. CSM delivers fundamental and
applied research capabilities in a wide range of areas, including applied
mathematics and computer science, experimental computing systems, scalable
algorithms and systems, artificial intelligence and machine learning, data
management, workflow systems, analysis and visualization technologies, programming
systems and environments, and system science and engineering. The position requires collaboration within a
multi-disciplinary research environment consisting of mathematicians,
computational and computer scientists, and domain scientists (both theoretical
and experimental) conducting basic and applied research in support of the
Laboratory’s mission. Specific responsibilities include: Basic Qualifications •
Ph.D. in Mathematics, Computer Science, Computational Science,
Engineering, Physics, or a field relevant to the job duties of this position.
