HPC Postdocs available
From Will Baird’s blog, news of NERSC’s HPC post doc positions
Berkeley Lab anticipates several openings for post-doctoral fellows in the NERSC Division to address the challenges of petascale computing on new multicore architectures. The fellows will work with high-profile applications in the areas of bioscience, fusion, climate and material science as well as in the development of scalable algorithms and novel language implementations for modern petascale systems. The fellows will have access to leading edge computational platforms as well as prototypes of experimental systems and close interaction with DOE Office of Science Principal Investigators who are receiving significant allocations of high-end computer time under the ASCR Leadership Computing Challenge. Interaction with faculty and students of the University of California, Berkeley and other major research

Work with NCSA in the Google Summer of Code
The optics on this are great: marry an HPTC research organization with the cool hip chic-ness of Google. From the release
NCSA has been selected as a mentor organization for Google Summer of Code 2009 and is looking for students to participate. Summer of Code offers student developers stipends of up to $4,500 to write code for various open-source projects. Students apply through Google, and applications are due April 3, 2009.
NCSA evidently did this last year as well. Great idea.
Luis W. Alvarez Fellowship in Computational Science deadline approaching
We’ve covered this before, but want to remind you that the deadline for 2009 is coming up next month.
The scientific staff at Berkeley Lab recognize the increasing significance of computational science—and the need to help educate the next generation of computational scientists.
The Luis W. Alvarez Fellowship in Computational Science aims to achieve these goals by enabling a recent graduate with a Ph.D. (or equivalent) to acquire further scientific training and to develop professional maturity for independent research. Applicants must be a recent graduate (within the past three years) with a strong emphasis on computing or computational science. The successful applicant will be compensated with a competitive salary and excellent benefits.
Applications are due by December 2, 2008 for the fall 2009 semester. More info …
NVIDIA Announces 2009-2010 Fellowship Program
