Householder Fellowship NB50387954
Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL)
Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL)
 
Job Location: Oak Ridge, TN

Purpose:
The Computer Science and Mathematics (CSM) Division at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) invites outstanding candidates to apply for the Alston S. Householder Fellowship in mathematics and scientific computing. This prestigious Fellowship offers an excellent opportunity to conduct exceptional and innovative research in mathematics, statistics and scientific computing, for applications of national priority, utilizing the worlds most powerful extreme scale computing platforms, including TITAN (http://www.olcf.ornl.gov/titan/).


Major Duties/Responsibilities:
The Fellowship honors Dr. Alston S. Householder, founding director of the Mathematics Division (now CSM Division) at ORNL and recognizes his seminal research contributions to the fields of numerical analysis and scientific computing. Funding for the Householder Fellowship comes from the Applied Mathematics Group (AMG), which is supported by the Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) of the U.S. Department of Energy (http://www.science.doe.gov/ascr). Additional information about the AMG at ORNL can be found at http://www.csm.ornl.gov/newsite/comp_math.html. Each Householder Fellowship appointment is for one year with the option to renew for a second year. The fellowship offers collaborative research opportunities in active programs at ORNL, a highly competitive salary, moving expenses, and a generous professional travel allowance. The selected individual will be mentored by a senior scientist within the AMG, but are encouraged to pursue their own research agenda, through access to the most advanced computer architectures, and opportunities to facilitate technology transfer from the laboratory research environment to industry and academia through training of new computational scientists. ORNLs applied mathematics research efforts provide the fundamental mathematical methods and algorithms needed to model complex physical, chemical, and biological systems. ORNLs computational science research efforts enable scientists to efficiently implement these models at the extreme-scale of computing, and to store, manage, analyze, and visualize the massive amounts of data that result. Finally, ORNLs statistics research provides the techniques to link the data producers, e.g., supercomputers and large experimental facilities, with the data consumers, i.e., scientists who need the data.


Qualifications Required:
  • The minimum required education is a Ph.D. in applied mathematics, statistics or computational science, but no more than four years beyond completion can be considered.
  • A proven academic record of high quality research with clear potential to perform cutting edge, innovative research in applied mathematics, statistics and/or computational science.The successful candidate will have a strong background and expertise in more than one area of particular relevance to the Applied Math Group at ORNL. Principal research areas include:
  • Multi-scale methods, including atomistic-to-continuum coupling;
  • Computational kinetic theory;
  • Computational fluid dynamics and turbulence;
  • High-dimensional approximation theory;
  • Large-scale iterative methods for linear and eigenvalue problems;
  • Numerical methods for stochastic (partial) differential equations;
  • Uncertainty quantification;
  • Probability theory
  • Statistical sampling and design of experiments;
  • Combinatorial optimization and graph theory;
  • Computational geometry and mesh generation
  • Sparse methods for data analytics
  • High-order continuous and discontinuous methods for PDEs
  • Multi-resolution analysis
  • Effective interpersonal skills.
  • Demonstrated written and oral communication skills.
  • U.S. citizenship and a security clearance are NOT required for this position.SelectionFinalists for the Fellowship will be invited to visit ORNL to present a seminar and visit the area. The selected Fellow must be available to begin the appointment during calendar year 2014. The application process will remain open until November 30, 2013.
