Scalable Multiphysics Postdoc
What You Will Do
The Eulerian Codes Group (XCP-2) in the X-Computational Physics (XCP) Division is seeking talented and motivated postdoc candidates. The Eulerian Codes Group is responsible for developing and maintaining large scale, massively parallel multi-physics codes used in national security applications. This appointment will focus on development and implementation of new methods for scalable performance on modern computer architectures. The successful candidate is expected to work in a team environment with computational scientists, theoreticians, and experimentalists, become familiar with production software carpentry practices, and publish results.
