From: Ruth Aydt Subject: JOB-OFFERED: Research programmer - Pablo Group - UIUC Date: Mon, 10 Nov 1997 11:40:04 -0600 (CST) RESEARCH PROGRAMMER Pablo Research Group Department of Computer Science University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Multiple positions are available in several high visibility projects, including (a) a technical liasion to the high-performance storage and distributed collaboration enabling technology team of the NSF PACI National Computational Science Alliance (NCSA), (b) performance analysis and input/output software developer with the ASCI Center for Advanced Rocket Simulation (CSAR), and (c) performance analysis and virtual environment software developer. These positions involve working with other members of the Pablo Research Group in collaboration with scientists and commercial users in other academic departments, in national laboratories, and in national supercomputer centers to study the performance of highly parallel applications on large scale computing systems. The research programmer(s) will be expected to use and extend existing software tools to capture, display, and analyze data on the performance of the applications and systems being studied. Insights gained must be communicated to researchers in the area of performance analysis, to computer system vendors, and to our national collaborators. The goals of this effort are to direct the design of future parallel file systems and system resource management policies, to guide optimization of existing systems and software, and to explore next generation virtual environments for distributed collaboration and data analysis. The ideal candidate would enjoy working with internationally known researchers and the latest equipment in an academic environment. Enthusiasm, technical competence, ability to learn new skills, and attention to detail are critical for success in these positions. Communication skills, both oral and written, and the ability to work independently, are also of utmost importance. The minimum requirements are a bachelor's degree in computer science or a related scientific field and at least two years experience with C (preferably C++) and UNIX. In addition, experience with high-performance parallel systems, Fortran, MPI, virtual reality (using OpenGL) and large scale software projects are highly desired. Further information about the Pablo group and our areas of research can be found at http://www-pablo.cs.uiuc.edu These positions are available immediately. To assure full consideration, applications should be received by December 5, 1997. Each position is a 12-month, 100 percent time academic professional appointment with regular University of Illinois benefits. Salary will be commensurate with experience. Interviewing may take place during the application period, but no final decisions will be made until after the application deadline. Interested persons should send a complete resume and names of three references to: Barbara Armstrong RE: Pablo-sci.virtual-worlds Department of Computer Science University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 1304 West Springfield Avenue Urbana, Illinois 61801 Email: barb@cs.uiuc.edu Telephone: (217) 333-6454 FAX: (217) 333-3501 UIUC is an Affirmative Action -- Equal Opportunity Employer.
