Berkeley Lab’s Computational Research Division has a new opening for a Postdoctoral Fellow in High-Performance Graph Analysis and Graph Representation Learning. This position will conduct fundamental and applied research in one or more of the following areas: parallel computing, graph algorithms, graph representation learning, sparse matrix computations, and/or high-performance computing.
What You Will Do:
- Perform research on parallel algorithms for dynamic graph analytics computations.
- Develop new sparse matrix data structures and algorithms.
- Publish and present research results in high-impact journals and top conferences in the areas of parallel computing, machine learning, sparse matrix computations, and high-performance graph analytics.
Additional Responsibilities as needed:
- Perform research on randomized algorithms for discrete problems.
- Develop high-performance algorithms and tools for graph representation learning.
What is Required:
- PhD degree, within the last 3 years, in Computer Science, Computational Sciences, Applied Mathematics, or a related technical field.
- Proficiency in C and/or C++ programming language.
- Proficiency in one or more of the parallel libraries/languages: MPI, OpenMP, Cilk, CUDA.
- Experience in high-performance parallel graph analytics and/or machine learning.
- Ability to design and implement parallel algorithms for machine learning and/or graph analytics, on shared- and distributed-memory parallel platforms.
- Ability to publish in top journals and conferences.
- Ability to conduct research in a highly collaborative environment.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
Desired Qualifications:
- Software engineering tools: make, cmake, revision control systems (such as git).
- One or more of the popular scripting languages such as Python, Julia, or R.
- Understanding of computer architectures, including accelerators such as GPUs.
- Understanding of probability and randomization in algorithm design.
For full consideration, please submit your CV and Cover Letter by June 10, 2021.
Notes:
- This is a full-time 2 year, postdoctoral appointment with the possibility of renewal based upon satisfactory job performance, continuing availability of funds and ongoing operational needs. You must have less than 3 years of paid postdoctoral experience. Salary for Postdoctoral positions depends on years of experience post-degree.
- This position is represented by a union for collective bargaining purposes.
- Salary will be predetermined based on postdoctoral step rates.
- This position may be subject to a background check. Any convictions will be evaluated to determine if they directly relate to the responsibilities and requirements of the position. Having a conviction history will not automatically disqualify an applicant from being considered for employment.
- This position will be remote initially, but limited to individuals residing in the United States tentatively due to COVID-19. Once the Bay Area shelter-in-place restrictions are lifted, work will be primarily performed at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, 1 Cyclotron Road, Berkeley, CA.
