Position Description

The Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF) is looking for a Postdoctoral 
Appointee who will draw on knowledge of high performance computational (HPC) 
science to optimize and perform Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations 
of compression ignition engine fuel spray, combustion, and emissions using 
high-performance computing (HPC). Performance tools will be used to identify 
bottlenecks in current engine simulations (load imbalances, I/O problems, 
memory constraints, etc.). You will also work closely with multi-disciplinary 
science project teams and ALCF HPC experts to enhance the predictive capability 
of engine modeling codes.

Position Requirements

    Doctorate and 0 years work experience.
    Considerable knowledge of high performance computational science, 
    particularly: Multi-dimensional code development (in Fortran/C/C++) for 
    combustion applications, internal combustion engine theory and operation, 
    and parallel scientific computing is required (MPI, OpenMP).
    Good knowledge of turbulent combustion modeling.
    Good knowledge of high performance computational science using large 
    scientific codes is desirable.
    Good communications skills, both verbal and written.
    Good skill in the solution of computational science problems using scalable 
    parallel computers and large data systems.
    Good collaborative skills, including the ability to work well with other 
    divisions, labs, universities, and industry.
    Good growth potential.
    Some experience in interdisciplinary collaborative research is desirable.
